Attachment-based Therapists in Winona, MN

Hi! My name is Rachel and I'm the owner of Nesting Connections, LLC. My ideal client would be children between the ages of birth to 18, caregivers, or teachers seeking reflective consultation. Reasons caregivers have requested my services include: anxiety, depression, hoarding, excessive lying, attachment concerns, selective mutism, defiance, suicidal ideation, self-harming, bullying, social skills, foster care/adoption, truancy, grief, family discord, developmental concerns, and most frequently-trauma. I also enjoy providing prenatal therapy to process bonding with baby.

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. 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 have 3 boys and love animals. If I am not working, I am doing something outside with my kids, in the garden or with my dogs.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or healing past hurt? Are you wanting to understand more where that hurt comes from? I can help you get to the core of these and find answers to making your life the best it can be. I am passionate about work in trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and deepening the understanding of the self. I find that a strong therapeutic connection is the best approach to fostering growth and success.

Do you feel alone in your struggles, whether those are battling depression or anxiety, exploring gender and sexuality, undergoing a stressful life transition, navigating cultural generational divides in your family, avoiding burnout, or how to survive/thrive amidst racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, and other isms? I work with clients to create a safer and more affirming space to explore their identities, navigate complex relationships, and cope and address the effects of systemic oppression, discrimination, and trauma on mental health.

Research shows the relationship between the client(s) and therapist is the most important component in creating change and relief from distress. My hope is to create a safe space for you to explore yourself and your relationship(s) and for us to work together respectfully, openly, and honestly to achieve your goals. I am passionate about working with couples and have advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). I enjoy working on marital/couple issues, LGBTQ+-related concerns, life transitions, existential issues, and gender identity. I also like working with mental health professionals and therapists!

Current afternoon openings. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel better to improve their relationships. Past hurts and experiences can cloud decision making in the present and relating to each other. Especially when it comes to stressors of daily responsibilities like marriage and parenting. Let’s work together using evidence-based techniques to stop your negative thoughts so you can make more positive mindset decisions. Triggers feel awful and there are proven remedies to help stop them. Together through therapy we can eliminate negative thoughts and memories that prevent you from being the best version of yourself.

You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

I work with adolescents and adults needing support in addressing existential concerns, life transitions, relational issues, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I am person-centered and utilize psychodynamic therapy, emotional processing, mindfulness and attachment-based therapy to support you in your healing journey.

You are hyperaware & good at taking care of others, but you feel alone & never good enough. It's hard for you to figure out what your own feelings and needs are & asking for help from others or setting boundaries feels impossible! Young adulthood is full of life transitions, uncertainty, new experiences, big decisions, and figuring out who we are. It's overwhelming! I have a niche for working with individuals in this stage of life, especially those also dealing with things like anxiety, depression, or complex family systems on top of it all. I work with couples too, understanding relationships impact mental health and vice versa.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients (ages 16+), especially those with complex experiences of trauma, dissociation, and plurality. Together with my clients, we explore identity, relationships, and how to heal within a societal structure that oppresses us. Joining others on the road through trauma into healing has become my life’s work and passion.

Thanks for visiting my profile. Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself and those around you? Feeling depressed, anxious, or lost? I would love to hold space with you while you explore the inner workings of all things related to you. I believe that as human beings, everything we do is relational, therefore, I believe therapy offers the opportunity to heal with another person being present. I have been working as a clinical social worker for the past 12 years. I currently offer telehealth services in Minnesota and Wisconsin to individuals 25 and older.
