Hennepin Health Therapists in 55426

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working with children, individuals, couples, and families on developing healthier ways of perceiving, communicating, and interacting with ourselves and with one another. Life can just happen so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate the people and things around us. I want to help slow down these moments and to build upon what matters which are our own self-worth and the relationships in our life.

Working from a foundation of trust, support, and guidance, I want to empower you to see and experience your strengths and success in therapy.

Are you struggling? Are aspects of their life overwhelming and you don't know how to deal with it? Are you feeling stuck and don't know what the next step is? I aim to help you find your strengths and problem solve to succeed in your life goals. I can show you skills to improve your relationships, while also exploring how you can apply them in daily life. I genuinely care for my clients and like to add an aspect of fun to every relationship I have. I work as a team with my therapy dog, Annie, and she is just as excited to see each person make improvements in their lives.

I provide therapy through a strengths-based, trauma-focused lens, and view each person as a resilient individual system capable of developing agency of their lived story and gaining mastery of their whole self. My clients include individuals and families living with challenges complicated by mental illness, emotional and behavioral disorders, trauma and family violence. My therapy services and community provider trainings are designed to provide an holistic and trauma-informed, culturally-attuned approach to understanding and healing from the abuse and trauma affecting individuals, relationships, families and systems.

I work with couples or adult individuals seeking help and encouragement as they navigate their relationships. We can often find ourselves struggling to feel understood by each other. Issues around communicating needs, conflict in their partnership, parenting, intercultural relationships, dynamics within family of origin or in-laws, work/life balance and couples that identify as LGBTQIA+ are all areas I'm familiar working with. I invite clients to create and practice new tools to better understand one another and emerge out bickering and into a collaboration.

Life can be hard. You may worry too much. Maybe you have difficulty finding the energy to do what you need to do. Or saying things that you regret later. Maybe you have trouble concentrating and focusing. And sometimes the hopes and dreams you have for the future don't always turn out the way you expected. When these things happen, you may forget how to draw on your strengths and capabilities to make things different for yourself. I can help you rediscover strengths as well as develop new, effective strategies for bringing back your joy for living and having deeper, more meaningful relationships.

I work with clients' strengths, providing treatment for relationship issues, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, grief and loss, life transitions, conflict resolution, self-compassion, mindfulness, communication skills, nonviolent communication (NVC), trauma, self-regulation, stress management, codependency, and climate anxiety, grief, and resiliency. I work with people indoors, outdoors, and through telehealth.

Founded in 1993 by Dr. Jeanette Vought, NewPath Mental Health Services (NPMHS) provides professional mental health services, incorporating Christian faith for those desiring it, to individuals who have experienced abuse or trauma. While we specialize in providing care to those who have experienced trauma, our therapists also have expertise treating depression, anxiety, sexual addictions, and addressing family and relational concerns. We are passionate about our mission to provide quality mental health care to everyone.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe that seeking out support when needed can be both extremely difficult and incredibly rewarding. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is an important part of that journey.

Currently providing video and phone sessions to all MN residents** I believe life happens to all of us and we all need help at times. I strive to understand what your goals are, how it shapes who you are today and the person you want to be become. With so many factors impacting us today, I want our work together to be a safe, supportive, relaxed and straightforward place to discover new parts of yourself and reach your goals.

Life has difficult challenges that we all face. Whether you are currently experiencing relational difficulties, a painful life transition, parenting issues, grief and loss, or just feel stuck, I would like to help you move towards the life you envision for yourself. Let's work together and examine what is holding you back from living your life to the fullest and work towards making the changes necessary to live your life authentically and fully.

Each year new research emerges highlighting the importance of intimate relationships on personal health and wellness. People who have satisfying connections with family, friends, and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer. For these reasons, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve the quality of the relationships they have with themselves and those around them. I provide practical information about intimate, long-term connection (based on current research), and offer specific strategies in response to clients' challenges and problems. My approach is collaborative, experiential, and strengths-based.

Mental health care is a part of chronic healthcare and asking for help can be the hardest place to start. Mental health is a struggle that we all deal with in our own way, sometimes we need guidance and encouragement. I believe a therapist's role is to support individuals in their efforts to cope and adapt on their own. Through the journey of therapy, I want to be someone who can point out patterns that may be hindering you from reaching your fullest potential.

Have you spent countless hours searching for a therapist, counselor or coach? Are you looking for someone who has both personal and professional experiences addressing mental health disorders, prolonged and generational trauma, knowledge of the systemic injustices within our education and criminal justice systems? I’ve found honoring one’s whole intersectional identity can help navigate the oppressive implications of societal norms on vibrant, but systematically minoritized groups. While it can be a rare occurrence to find someone with these perspectives, your search can finally come to an end.

Sometimes it seems that life has given us more than we can handle, and in times like these we may need others to help along the way. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between myself and the individuals, couples, and families I work with. I bring a non-anxious presence to the therapeutic process, and I work to create a casual and approachable space for you, your child, or your family. I work with those who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, peer difficulties, spiritual issues, family conflict, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

My experience includes work with families, children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of cultural and familial backgrounds. Blended families, families in conflict, couples in any stage from pre-marital to divorcing, and individuals longing to be heard are just a few of the populations with which I enjoy working. I join my clients through the challenges and transitions life presents, in a collaborative manner and without judgement. It is through humor, compassion, and setting attainable goals with my clients that I work.

I believe good therapy involves having a positive healing experience that includes your whole self and can be translated to your everyday life. I utilize creative approaches along with concrete tools to assist your body, mind and spirit with building a greater sense of safety and calm, leading to growth and connection with self and others. I especially welcome families or individuals navigating growth and change; parents of children with chronic health needs; couples seeking greater connection in their relationship; or individual adults seeking body-centered care for trauma, anxiety, or depression.

Our team offers therapy to individuals, groups, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds in various life stages and situations: transitioning relationships, family expansion, interpersonal conflicts, empty-nesting, loneliness, substance issues, coming out, blending families, anxiety, depression, balance seeking, trauma coping, sleep struggles, sexual matters, mindfulness, and life transitions. Whether you are experiencing any of these concerns or others, we are here to help you and support your inner strength and we celebrate with you your ability to navigate through these.
