Compassion Focused Therapists in 55404

Being here proves that you can do hard things. It’s not always easy to take the next step and eat your mental health vegetables, or however you personally want to frame the idea of therapy in your mind. As a clinician, I strive to make my clients feel seen and heard no matter the reason they are seeking therapy. I enjoy working with clients from age 13 through adults of any age on a wide variety of topics including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+, and chronic health concerns/disabilities. Client-centered practice is very important to me. I love working with folks on building and practicing coping skills.

Hello! I'm so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote, individual therapy for adults who are experiencing mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, and perinatal and postpartum mood & anxiety disorders (PMAD). I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where my clients can identify and work to achieve effective, sustainable, personal shifts in their lives. During our sessions, my clients learn more about themselves, and what is necessary for them to achieve the freedom to live their most truthful and meaningful lives.

We are licensed in Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Colorado. We currently offer telehealth and virtual therapeutic services. We work with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. We combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) serving the Twin Cities area, passionate about helping and supporting people. I believe that as humans we are always evolving from the experiences that life offers, which has steered me to believe in the interconnectedness of all life, and therefore my practice operates from a framework honoring the unity of the mind, body and spirit. I believe that each person is unique and that there is no one approach to the problems they present.

Are you overwhelmed with stress? Are you dealing with change, or transition? Have you have suffered a significant loss? Are you struggling with staying on task, difficulty focusing, lack of motivation, or setting limits? Maybe you want to understand yourself, your family of origin and other relationships more fully. Is your spiritual journey lonely? Is what you have believed changing? Are your new belief’s at odds with your church or your family? Do you feel like an outcast? Do you need a safe place to vent? Whatever your need is, I will meet you where you are on your journey.

I am a trauma-informed bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner offering a body-centered approach for the healing of trauma and chronic pain. Traditional therapy approaches often have difficulty addressing the bodily effects of trauma, anxiety and depression. Habits and patterns that get "stuck" in the body can keep these types of issues from resolving, even after many years of successful therapy. As an adjunct to traditional therapy, my body-centered approach to Somatic Experiencing provides a unique opportunity to support the physical integration of mental and emotional change that help people recovering from trauma to truly FEEL better.

I have special interest and expertise working with university students, comorbid chronic pain & mental health concerns, grief & loss, multicultural issues & identities (e.g., individuals who are racially/culturally diverse or identify as LGBTQ), life adjustments such as parenthood, relationship concerns (friendship, family, and dating including sexuality/intimacy), career transitions, family of origins issues, identity concerns, personal growth, & trauma.

I specialize in LGBTQ+, Trauma, Divorce/Family Estrangement, Mood Disorders, and Couples Counseling.

Are you a therapist, helper, or healer who needs to receive a little (or a lot) of your own medicine?  We all deserve to feel rooted and connected.  We all deserve to feel empowered and authentic.  You deserve to thrive!  I see myself as a shamanic fairy godmother: we'll get you to your happily ever after, but the journey will be an adventure. Therapy is an invitation to transform ourselves, our relationships, and our lives.  Through conversation, genuine compassion, humor, and intuition, I offer clients safety to create subtle and powerful changes.

I hope you’ve had your coffee today because I’m a ball of sunshine, and very excited to meet you! Congratulations on taking the first step in healing! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who works primarily with adult populations. You’ll find that I’m high-spirited and approach care through an empathetic, compassionate, and neurodivergent-affirming lens. I enjoy working with the uniquities of the world – quirky oddballs who march to the beat of their own drum and connect well with others who do the same. Being an oddball my entire life, I understand what living in the shadows feels like!

We are a Private Group Practice that adolescents and adults provide therapy to individuals with the diagnosis of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, self-image/esteem, gambling, difficulty adjusting to life stress, and trauma. We hold a dual license and experience in both mental health and chemical dependency.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, grief, relationships, or a loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life? Does it feel like most of the time you are just going through the motions of life? Just trying to get through the day, answering emails, texts, or calls because you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, or sad? Do you question, wonder, or hope that things could be better? Together we work through and move past challenges/losses, make sense of emotions, and learn coping skills to help manage, improve, and overcome difficult relationships.

Living with, and adjusting to, a life with chronic pain, autoimmune disease, chronic health conditions and disability, can be complicated. Even the inevitable process of aging, comes with its adjustment challenges. We will work together to build new coping strategies. I am familiar with the myriad of feelings that can result from a diagnosis; feelings such as anger, isolation, powerlessness and betrayal. I will help you challenge thoughts that are not helpful and develop new ways to think about issues and find solutions.

Hi, I'm Emma (she/they)! I'm a strong believer that our bodies hold inherent wisdom and that they are trustworthy. I also believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities, and that therapy is a unique and powerful exploration of those stories. I dream of co-creating a therapeutic environment where you can take up space, breathe a sigh of relief, and be courageous in your exploration of yourself. I resonate with therapy frameworks found in Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems, with a foundation in embodiment, somatics, and the impacts of our developmental experiences.

I believe in a strengths-based approach and collaboration in the therapeutic process. It is important for me to learn about the person as a whole, and their place in their environment. I believe every individual is unique and may require a variety of modalities to determine what fits best. My overarching framework is to provide neurodiversity affirming care and find paths to work with your strengths instead of against them.

On the surface, things are going well, but you've felt anxious for a long time. Or it feels like you're in a constant battle with your family and you're desperate to figure out why and how to resolve it. Whether you're the individual wanting help, a child, parent, or couple, my office is a safe space when you decide you are ready for a change. We will work together to determine your goals and where you would like to start. Although I have a variety of experience with different ages, identities, and needs, my experience has been primarily with neurodivergent children and women as well as men struggling with substance abuse.
