I work with LGBTQ+ and polyamorous folks. I recognize that many of us have experienced relationship challenges, trauma, and discrimination, and that our identities play an important role in how we heal and grow. Finding a sense of who you are is never easy, but receiving invalidating messaging from the world and holding past or present wounds makes that process even more difficult. The stories we tell about ourselves, inside and outside the context of personal identities, have power over how we understand our emotions, relationships, and experiences. What might it be like to tell your story in a new way?

Many people throughout the years have said things such as "it must be hard being a therapist". What I think most people mean by that is that it's hard hearing tragic stories traumas that people go through all day which is true. However the real tragedy of individual therapy is that we are not individuals we are collectives in my feeling is when I am doing therapy with an individual I think to myself "if he could have met the guy that was in my office just before that me you would be therapist for each other".

My greatest joy is to help people find their inner voice and personal power. Trained and Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I work with both individuals and couples.

Together, we will unravel the thought processes that thrive in judgment, scarcity, blame, and fear. I truly believe the healing process toward change occurs once YOU gain insight into yourself.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, dedication and authenticity. I strive to create a safe, supportive and trusting environment where my clients will feel comfortable, heard and understood; while exploring their thoughts, feelings, and most "raw" aspects of themselves. I meet each individual where they are and walk beside them on their journey to meet their personal goal(s) to ensure they do not feel alone. I believe the individual leads the sessions, determines what they want and need from each session and goal creation. It is a team effort, but one I am here to support and engage others/team if wanted/needed.

Sage Prairie meets patients where they are at. We offer a wide range of services including: medication management (suboxone, naltrexone, vivirol, injectable suboxone, Narcan), CD assessment, assistance with drug or alcohol related legal problems, motivation concerns, mindfulness education, onsite mental health practioner, spiritual concerns, and holistic care (massage, acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis). All services are evidence based, accoarding to SAMHSA and ASAM. Are you tired of "cookie cutter" approachs, or being shamed and blamed for relapses? Our patients see recovery as a process that changes through their lifespan. They develop ideal goals for what they want out of recovery, instead of what other people tell them it should be; TRUE AUTONOMY. Our goal is to see you within 48-hours of your call, if you need recovery, call us today!

Middle and High School youth face new and unexpected challenges as they navigate the social and emotional world of Middle and High school. This period is one of growth and opportunity, yet can create difficulty with mood management, social interaction, and self-worth/self-image due to the complex social rules and expectations as well as the increased focus on social dynamics to create a sense of belonging and safety (not to mention the hormones and family interaction adjustments needed as independence begins to emerge). This group provides a safe, caring and understanding environment for exploring and practicing emotional skills.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in Eagan?
Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.
How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
