Relationship Issues Therapists in Saint Paul, MN

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.

Hello and welcome! Beginning your therapeutic journey might feel overwhelming, but know that you're not alone—I'm here to support you.

As a therapist who believes in the transformative power of therapy, I work alongside clients as they address problems big and small while balancing acceptance and change. I take a non-judgmental stance and strive to remain client-centered. I believe change takes place through our co-created relationship. With experience supporting clients with a wide range of symptoms, labels, and concerns I work to join clients on their journey to identify and achieve their therapeutic goals.

Living in hell? I am here to help. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or BPD, I may be a great fit for you.

If you are diagnosed with a medical condition, have cognitive impairment, or are a caregiver, I also may be a great fit. I find value in supporting clients and their families through life-changing medical events or diagnoses, end-of-life care, and disability. Let's work together to help you move through and out of hell.

Sometimes in life we can feel like we have no control over what is happening, the paths our relationships are taking, or what the future might have in store for us.

I provide therapy to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, relationship changes/separation, substance use issues, stress management, academic challenges, sports/performance concerns, chronic illness, sexuality/gender identity issues, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum, and life balance.

I am a licensed psychologist in Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri, with over 20 years experience as a therapist. My approach to therapy is existential/humanistic with the relationship between the client and myself being of the highest importance. I believe that each client brings a unique set of strengths and difficulties, so therapy is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I have experience in treating a wide variety of problems especially mood, anxiety, impulse control and trauma. My therapy style is supportive yet challenging and direct as needed.

Life can be unpredictable and challenging, which can create uncertainty, fear, and stress. Clients who see me for psychotherapy report experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression caused by life transitions, grief, interpersonal or self-identity struggles. Whether clients are new to therapy or have tried therapy before, they may feel nervous about moving forward with their healing journey. In working with me, they feel welcomed, supported, comfortable, understood and heard. I use evidence based therapy strategies.

Life changes are inevitable. Perhaps the path you are following no longer feels right. Sometimes unexpected changes happen that push us to reconsider the way we live our lives. This may include redefining your identity, changing your employment or relationship status, coming out, or adapting to retirement and aging. Maybe you are looking for a new direction and are not sure which way to go or how to take those next steps. I support individuals throughout the change process – those feeling stuck, embarking on a new endeavor, and those who have made changes in their lives and are dealing with unexpected challenges.

Do you struggle connecting to the present moment, or connecting with friends, family or a partner? I understand that stressful situations can get in the way of life goals, transitions and showing up in relationships the way we want to show up. My approach to therapy is offering a safe space to explore what is getting in the way, make a plan and then unpack the barriers to getting unstuck. My approach is authentic with a touch a humor. Topics people often discuss are concerns about relationships, attachment, past trauma, career development, development of gender/sexuality or concerns related to oppression in the community.
