Personality Disorders Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Feeling overwhelmed with day to day responsibilities, or certain relationships in your life? Feeling unsure about what's next or what you should be doing? Are you experiencing difficulties with your partner? Do you feel if you talk to friends or family you will be judged or dismissed all together? Have you had a traumatic experience/s and tucked it away in the back of your mind? Navigating life's hardships can be a lonely and somewhat scary task; however you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to help you move past the fear and doubt, and take hold of the clarity and peace that so rightfully belongs to you.

I am not currently accepting new clients. I've been in the mental health field for over 25 years and still strive to keep my "beginner's mind". I have a psychodynamic orientation (which means I believe that the relationship between the therapist and you is an important part of the process). My work is informed by many things, including the Buddhist principal that suffering comes from attachment to things we often aren't aware of or simply don't know how to let go of. I've found it helpful to use various wisdom resources, poetry, and humor in therapy.

A collaborative perspective is important. That's why working together toward developing a good rapport and trust is needed in therapy. My style and approach includes warmth, sensitivity, honesty and humor, laughing is healing. Change comes with being understood, listened to and feeling comfortable. Healing starts with courage and wisdom and coming to therapy is a big step. Everyone's journey to healing is different, therefore I do my best to tailor treatment to fit your needs. Therapy works best when it engages the whole person, body, mind, emotions and spirit to assist in reaching the best outcome. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi, I’m Heidi! I understand that healing is not linear. Sometimes emotions rise over items that you once considered healed, and I’m here to help to move through them at your speed and help you to honor your journey. How you heal is deeply personal, and I’m looking forward to exploring this with you. You are your best healer; I’m here to guide and support you. In my personal time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, spending time with my animals, and exploring all that life has to offer.

Do you feel like a stranger in a strange land, lost and confused? You don't need to go it alone. I specialize in providing culturally appropriate psychological and cognitive assessments and psychotherapy. I believe I have two jobs, first to listen, really listen with wisdom and compassion to my clients to find out what is going on, what is causing the struggles, what can be done to address the problems and what are my client's core strengths. My second job is helping my clients once again experience those core strengths.

Accepting new clients as of June 2024 - You have a vague idea of why you’re unhappy – you’re a smart person, after all, unless it involves anything to do with emotions or relationships. You're introspective and know your patterns well. Yet no matter how hard you try to change things, you haven't been able to feel different on your own. Your emotions seem to work differently than other people's, impossible to control or manage. What you're doing isn't working, and you feel stuck. Sometimes it sucks to be aware of how bad you feel - what's the point of self-awareness if you don't know what to do with it?

I have over 37 years experience providing therapeutic services to clients of all ages and with a variety of mental disorders.

To support, validate, and lift you up. To help you gain a better understanding of yourself. To teach healthy ways of coping with life’s hardships. To encourage you when things are tough, and hope seems lost. To challenge you to do, think, and feel different as you work towards having a life that feels worth living.

It is my experience that the fullest, most satisfying healing involves our whole person, mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on patterns of movement in the body as well as thinking, we work together to achieve your goals for therapy. A body based and energetic focus is often a new and effective way for people to resolve issues that only talking about them did not reach. I look for resistance and protective actions that no longer serve a person. I emphasize developing aliveness in the body, feeling joyful, free, and peace.
