Therapists in New Market, MN

We all possess the strength and ability to learn what motivates us and what holds us back. Together I'd like to create a plan to aid in reducing the pain and suffering with whatever struggles you have in life and learn new ways to find happiness and inner-peace. My passion for guiding youth has always been at the forefront of my practice. It can be difficult as a parent or guardian and see your child struggle with depression, anxiety, anger or self-esteem. I want to support your child in a way to become a happy healthy adult.

"The way out is through" - Robert Frost. As human beings navigating this complex world, we often avoid problems as a form of self-protection. In order to find more contentment in our lives, it is essential that we face our difficulties in a safe environment. I enjoy working with adults struggling with self-esteem, addictive behaviors, self-care, life-transitions, childhood trauma, parenting/step-parenting, relationship issues and more. I utilize an empathetic, genuine and kind approach in session creating a safe space for people to work through and explore their difficulties.

In my practice, I work from a person-centered approach and have worked with a variety of different experiences. Some areas that I’ve had the most experience with are with families of high-risk youth, adolescents, parenting issues, survivors of sexual violence and emotionally focused couples-therapy.

I have doing therapy for more years than I care to say and have the wisdom of age and experience to go with it! I usually can get new clients in within 1-2 weeks and have late afternoon, evening and weekend appointments available. I see individuals, adults, couples and families. I specialize in helping those with depression, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, relationship issues, job and career issues, trauma, sexual abuse, and stress. Renae Ludwig, MS, LPCC, LMHC

You will have your concerns and needs readily understood and acknowledged throughout our important time together professionally. You may feel at a loss in your search for help and will find a kind, passionate, and respectful therapist here. Often "blind spots" stem from a long pattern of fear/avoidance of your authentic feelings, thoughts, and needs to grow fully into the person of whom you are intended. Together we will co-create a lifestyle and clear perspective more free from burdens.

No matter what you do to stop the cycle of falling in love with the wrong people, having emotional or sexual affairs, or creating fantasy relationships in your head, you find yourself right back where you started. You feel like you've lost control and have a constant war going on in your head. You are living a double life and it's eating you alive. You are sick of the stress you're under to constantly hide your phone because you don't want your partner to find out about this second life. As a specialist in healthy sexuality and relationships, I can help you get off your current rollercoaster.

Now accepting new clients! I believe the road to healing begins with a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Using person centered approaches, I guide clients towards exploring strengths and values to help frame their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that focuses on their proven resilience and empowers clients to live their most authentic lives. My greatest reward as a therapist is witnessing the courage and vulnerability clients demonstrate in taking steps to transform their lives by using healthy coping mechanisms, new forms of communication, and CBT skills.

Albert Einstein remarked, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving”. At various times in our life we find ourselves challenged to do just that as we struggle to make it through the day. Using a strengths-based perspective, I will collaborate with you to understand and confront your unique challenges and empower you to find the inner strength and resources to facilitate positive healing change so you can keep moving forward. I firmly believe that while change is inevitable, being paralyzed by change is not and you have the power to construct your own unique pathway to optimal health and wellness.

My ideal client is someone that has an idea of their goals and what they would like to pursue in therapy, but needs the extra insight and encouragement to clarify those goals or to take the first steps in accomplishing them. They may be struggling with mood issues, have trouble controlling their thoughts, or be dealing with difficult or contentious relationships. They are in need of someone to listen to them, to provide empathy and validation, and then to help guide them along the path they have chosen to make the changes they wish to see in their life.

My client's are self-motivated, curious, and are open to learning about how their issues came about and what how healing might look differently for everyone. I assist my client's by setting attainable goals in regards to anxiety, depression, emotional understanding, behavioral changes, or becoming more okay with our automatic protective responses.

I really enjoy working with people from all walks of life. Specifically, I enjoy the treatment of anxiety, depression, working with adolescents, treating problems surrounding self-compassion and self-esteem, and stress management. I thoroughly enjoy working with LGBTQ+ people, as I identify as a fellow community member myself. I approach my work with children through an integrative lens. I believe children shape their world through play. Kiddos shine brightest when they are met with authenticity, validation, and compassion! Currently, I am accepting clients 18 years old and above only.

I am passionate about working with individuals who feel disconnected from parts of themselves. Perhaps you are highly logical but struggle to identify or feel emotions. Or maybe you feel emotions so intensely that your sense of self gets lost. I use various modalities including narrative therapy, mindfulness, and the use of symbols and metaphors to assist in the discovery of a more expansive self where there is love, again or for the first time, for rejected parts.

Currently accepting new clients: Individuals, adolescents, couples and families! If you are looking for a compassionate therapist to support you in your healing and happiness, you have come to the right place. Using a holistic approach to overall health and well-being, I assist client's in doing the work necessary to feel better. Some of my specialties include stress management, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, pain management, chronic health conditions, relationships, veterans/military families and first responders.

My clients can change anxiety, ADHD, autism, or pain with live heart and brain feedback called biofeedback or neurofeedback in online visits. Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults. It is proven to work as well as medication for anxiety, ADHD, and pain. I have years of experience as a therapist, and have taught clinicians at The University of MN Medical Center and elsewhere.

We all have times when we feel stuck, stressed, confused, hurt, alone, or simply like we're not living our best life. Maybe you’re seeking healing from trauma, or grieving a significant loss. Maybe you want help coping with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, and disconnection. Maybe certain habits are getting you down, and you want help overcoming them. Perhaps you’re seeking support in making a significant life decision, or change. Maybe you want healthier relationships, or a deeper spirituality. Or maybe you just want someone to come alongside you and help you figure out how to get back to feeling okay. More like yourself.

You are smart, capable, introspective—and feeling stuck or struggling in some important area of your life. Perhaps you are a high performer in certain contexts, but seem to shut down or get counter-productive in others. Perhaps there is a painful or traumatic past experience that you need to process (even if it seems like you should have "gotten over it" by now). Maybe you are the person everyone leans on, but you're lacking adequate support for yourself.
