I believe personal agency is key to finding meaning in distressing scenarios and growing from them. I use both Existential and solution-oriented approaches when engaging with clients and provide individuals, couples, and families with tools for self-awareness and self-empowerment through a mixture of theoretical models tailored to the client’s strengths and needs. I work to help clients establish more adaptive patterns of thinking with humor, empathy, and respect. While I will explore root causes of issues, I emphasize the importance of personal growth and identifying personal strengths.

How many therapists did your parents have you see as a kid? Has anybody in your life commented on your "adoption issues"? How many times a day do you ask yourself where and how do I fit in? Maybe the mindset you used to help yourself survive childhood is now hindering your growth in adulthood. Why aren't there more therapists who are adoptees? These are some of many questions and issues I hope that we can work on together. I aspire, because I am an adoptee, to have you spend less time explaining what adoption was, and more time working on current issues.

Hello, I'm Rebecca Zabinski, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota. I am originally from New Mexico and met my husband in the United States Air Force. I am a woman veteran and have grown to love Minnesota and everything it has to offer. I have 3 boys and love my animals. I have over 11 years of experience in the counseling world and started my career in the Air Force. My approach to therapy is meeting people where they are at and coming up with some goals together so that there is a common focus between us.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Minnesota as well as a certified psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner. I have been a licensed therapist for over 11 years. I enjoy working with individuals who feel they are on the cusp to take steps to do self exploration, healing and growth. Maybe you need someone in your corner, someone to help keep you accountable, or needing soft place to land as you manage your mental health. I like to utilize a strength's based approach as well as provide some additional tools to build on for individuals to make change in their lives and improve their mental health.

Ever feel stuck in life due to unforeseen circumstances and are unsure about how to move forward? I imagine that you are struggling with developing healthy lifestyle habits, or positive coping strategies and may be experiencing persistent depression or anxiety. Perhaps your depression and anxiety stem from a major life change, traumatic experiences, conflict in relationships, financial hardships, chronic or terminal illness, or the loss of a loved one. If any of those things are true for you, then I can help you become unstuck and live your most fulfilling life. You deserve to move forward and begin your healing journey.

I believe that each individual frames their life from their experiences. Such experiences can cause distress, sometimes making life unbearable. I invite clients in the direction of the unconscious mental process to create healing and promote change. With wholeheartedness and non-judgemental support, I offer a deep journey in search of keys to unveil the answers that lie within. I help clients to find insight, and cope with the underlying causes of emotional and psychological symptoms. I suppose that it is through telling one's unique story, that one can re-write it.

Worried about your child's behavior? Struggling with parenting? Concerned about your adolescent's self image or self harm?

Battling the shadows of depression and anxiety? Wanting change in your life but not sure what? Seeking therapy is hard and deeply personal. You are the expert in your life and I strive to make each client feel accepted, safe and understood. Together, we can discover your unique path to change and healing within yourself and relationships.

I've been counseling men and couples for over 40 years. My specialties are men with compulsive/addictive sexual behaviors, unresolved childhood abuse/trauma/neglect, anxiety/depression, relationship problems and intimacy issues. I also do couple's therapy teaching and helping couples in good communication and conflict management and how to heal from infidelity. Cornerstone has 5 outpatient treatment groups for men with sexual addiction. We also have very skilled therapist who treat childhood trauma and neglect with very highly regarded therapeutic methods and approaches including EMDR, Sensorimotor and Pesso Psychomotor Therapy.

Clients respond very positively to my style as a therapist --- informal, empathetic, challenging, encouraging, educational, and collaborative. Typical individual and couples clients include young adults, mid-age, and elders. My work with clients frequently blends individual and couples therapy. I specialize in using the DISCERNMENT COUNSELING framework with 'mixed agenda' couples and the ideas of John / Julie GOTTMAN when working with couples who are wanting to enhance their relationship and co--parenting quality.

Working together toward change, I place importance of the relationship with you in the therapy and emphasize getting to know you as an individual. We work toward your goals by exploring, not just your behavior, but the underlying feelings and thoughts which get in the way of your ability to make the changes you desire.
