HealthPartners of MN and WI Therapists in Saint Louis Park, MN

Mental health care is a part of chronic healthcare and asking for help can be the hardest place to start. Mental health is a struggle that we all deal with in our own way, sometimes we need guidance and encouragement. I believe a therapist's role is to support individuals in their efforts to cope and adapt on their own. Through the journey of therapy, I want to be someone who can point out patterns that may be hindering you from reaching your fullest potential.

If you're feeling alone in whatever you're struggling with, I'm here to help. I have compassion and vast life experience to help support and guide you through this. I provide a safe and accepting space, where you can access your most creative, intuitive self, and find answers within. Together, things won't seem so hard. I am offering my regular services via telehealth or in person. Email me for more information.

People come to therapy for many reasons. In the first few sessions, I want to get to know you--what you are struggling with, your hopes and fears for the future, what seems to be getting in the way, what strengths and assets you bring. Together, we arrive at a plan, identifying your goals, sources of distress, and how best to work toward symptom relief and greater satisfaction with life and relationships. My approach integrates several treatment modalities, including psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based therapies, life-span developmental approaches, attachment theory, family and couples therapy.

When life is changing there is a place at the end, at the beginning or in-between. Are you thinking about what comes next? It takes courage to go there. Together, we will address where you are and where you want to be. Check out my profile on the Caspersen Therapy Center Website: https:www.caspersentherapycenter.com/about-us

We are a group of mental health clinicians committed to providing high quality and comprehensive care for adults, adolescents and children. Whether you arrange individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy, meetings with a psychiatrist or pediatric psychiatrist to discuss medication options, or psychological testing to better understand the problem, our fully licensed and credentialed clinicians coordinate all of these services under one roof. When you visit a BHSI clinic, you can expect skilled, compassionate and collaborative care.

We have multiple talented clinicians. Our approach to therapy is informed primarily by psychodynamic principles. The emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive environment in which to explore and develop insights into underlying feelings and thoughts. Together we will uncover deeply held assumptions that, although may have been useful at one time, today reinforce ways of coping in the world that are no longer effective or relevant.

I use warmth and humor to work collaboratively with you toward living your best life. My style is interactive, engaging, and direct. I use a psychodynamically informed approach, which means the treatment focuses both on current symptoms & problems, as well as underlying root causes. I listen carefully and compassionately, giving thoughtful, helpful feedback and professional insight, helping individuals make necessary positive changes in relationships, self-concept & choices. I have provided psychotherapy since 1995, and bring seasoned experience & understanding to my work.

I specialize in working with school-aged children, teens, adults, and parents struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, life transitions, parenting and relationship challenges, and trauma. My priority is for each person to feel deeply heard, understood, and supported in making positive changes toward a joy-filled life. I view people through a holistic lens and address all areas of life including body, mind, community, and spiritual orientation.

In my work as an art therapist and clinical counselor I offer a creative, supportive, non-judgmental space for people who are interested in gaining a better understanding of themselves and what their natural strengths are.

You struggle in your relationship, or your doctor handed you a terrible diagnosis. Maybe there is something important you need to talk about, but you don't know who you can trust. On some days, it may feel your mind is spiraling out of control. Getting out of bed may have become so much more difficult lately. You experience dread too much of the time. You feel alone and sometimes wonder "what is the point?" You can't seem to get around to doing what needs to get done. People are constantly on your case. You seem to be your own worst enemy. You don't want your friends or partner to know this one bad thing about you.

I enjoy working with individuals ages 16 and older, from all walks of life. I dedicate my work to helping individuals navigate through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, parenting challenges, grief/loss, eating disorder, body image concerns, identity development (especially with LGBTQ populations), personal growth and development.

All of use are faced with experiences in life that that we could use some help with. Using warmth, gentleness, and humor, my goal as a therapist is to create a safe and healing relationship with you. Together we can explore the parts of yourself and your journey that might feel scary to do alone. l look forward to working with you in defining for yourself who you are and reshaping beliefs that no longer serve you.

We all can benefit from support from time to time. Perhaps you are entering a new phase in life, coping with a mental or physical illness, navigating conflict, loss or trauma. Art therapy can be that support regardless of your experience and skill level. Tap into your innate creativity for healing and change.

I believe good therapy involves having a positive healing experience that includes your whole self and can be translated to your everyday life. I utilize creative approaches along with concrete tools to assist your body, mind and spirit with building a greater sense of safety and calm, leading to growth and connection with self and others. I especially welcome families or individuals navigating growth and change; parents of children with chronic health needs; couples seeking greater connection in their relationship; or individual adults seeking body-centered care for trauma, anxiety, or depression.

I genuinely care for my clients and like to add an aspect of fun to every relationship I have.
