Female Therapists in Waite Park, MN

Hi my name is Tanya Freedland and I am Licensed as a Clinical Counselor and an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am also the founder of the ARCS Institute that provides personality-driven individual therapy. As a recovery-oriented therapist, I believe that everyone has their own path to recovery and there is no "right" way to heal from mental ill health and substance use problems. I rely on cutting-edge research to enhance our work together and utilize a non 12-step, personality-driven approach that incorporates evidence based skills and strategies.

I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders and eating disorders. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which involves working together to achieve a full understanding of your concerns, and to create a treatment strategy aimed at adjusting your behaviors and thoughts to improve your wellbeing. My areas of expertise include obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders including avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). I draw on my extensive training in CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

As the client, you have experienced stress, dysregulation, emotions, and feelings that are challenging, sleep issues, trauma (past or present), major life transitions, or have felt the aftermath of the pandemic in healthcare. As a child, you have experiences that have made you feel unsafe, vulnerable, and dysregulated. You will be heard and validated therapeutically throughout the healing process, along with the space being safe and centered on you. As your therapist, I will provide a supportive environment where you feel understood and empowered to work through your problems and needs at your own pace.

Image. Your mind is racing. All. The. Damn. Time. Your to-do list is a collection of post-it notes covering your table and you don't know where to start. You go about your day and all the sudden your heart is pounding, hands shaking, breathing is heavy, you have no idea why you feel this way, but it's confusing and you're losing control. Your internal voice is relentlessly mean and makes you feel like you'll never be "Normal." Sleep what's that? The struggle of being "enough" is real and the weight of your past is dragging you down. You're exhausted, nobody is listening and you feel alone is this fight against your own mind.

Hola! ;) My mantra is let go & peace of mind. This may be your first time in therapy. We've all been there. Come as you are, I have a space for you. I’m here to guide you and work at your own pace. Ines is a Latina woman and an adult immigrant who understands challenging circumstances. She visualizes difficult situations as an opportunity for growth. She thrives on facilitating a safe space with compassion, and emotional comfort in her therapy sessions.

I love working with a variety of age groups and value diversity, culture, and individualism. My approach is culturally sensitive and person-centered. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and caring. I believe that the differences we have is what makes this world beautiful.

Stuck? Alone? Why do I do the things I don't want to do, and don't do the things I want to do? Struggling to trust or feel worthy of love? Failed attempts to connect on repeat and overwhelming you? Tired of fighting with no resolution? Dealing with past relational trauma you can't break free from? I am here to help you better connect with others, and even with your own sense of self, even your spirituality if you desire. Find your authentic self and discover you can love that person, and, you are worth being loved. I am here. Lets journey together.

When meeting clients I begin with the question of "What happened to you" rather than "What is wrong with you." When I get to watch and bear witness as an individual or family grows and is able to heal it humbles me! I like to walk along side those I work with in helping them develop/discover the life and relationships they desire. I also enjoy working with couples in achieving satisfying marriages or relationships. When not at work I enjoy reading, being in nature, spending time with my family, walking my dog and gardening. I also believe in bringing humor into my work as it helps us all remember what in life is good!
