There is hope after trauma. MEND Therapy is unique in the twin cities in that we are an in-house, all-inclusive collaboration of trauma-informed body workers and psychotherapists. The research is clear: trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. We utilize the cutting edge, most effective and always research-based methods for treating trauma. Because trauma is not just in your head and talk therapy isn't enough.

If you're looking for a way to establish, strengthen, and maintain meaningful relationships with others, you might just be in the right place.

Adam is a down-to-earth optimist who believes that positive change is always possible, even in difficult circumstances. Therapy is the process of identifying and actualizing positive change. Adam wants to nonjudgmentally explore your whole self, even the difficult to share parts. Through this exploration, he hopes to help you find deeper understanding of your authentic self. We are constantly told what we should want out of life, what we should be doing, how we should show up in the world. Adam wants to foster your bravery and agency to ignore the shoulds and define your own path.

Relationships are the guiding forces in our lives for connection and where we learn to create meaning. I have built my practice exploring the unique needs of people struggling with the complexities of trauma and addictions. I have learned to understand the nuances and struggles that couples and families face in the discovery process of addictions as well as the daily impacts of living with secrets. Moving beyond secrets can be a difficult, but I can help guide you through it in an efficient and thoughtful manner. I believe change is collaborative process where trust, laughter, and safety are essential to the therapeutic journey.
