Hennepin Health Therapists in 55429

Immediate openings! Hi there! I'm Steph, thanks for taking the time to view my profile! You’re likely here because you’re considering starting, or continuing, therapy—kudos to you! I know from being a client myself that making this choice isn’t always an easy one. Here’s a little bit about my experience, background, and approach to therapy to help you figure out if working together is something you're interested in. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults.

I work with individuals ages 18 and up. I have interest and experience in working with anxiety, attention/concentration issues, body image issues, depression, self-worth/self-esteem and stress. I strive to meet each individual where they are at and develop treatment goals based on what the client believes will make positive changes for their lives. I believe that with the right amount of encouragement and support, everyone is capable of making positive changes.

Are you lacking courage in tackling the day to day tasks of life? Are you finding it difficult to manage stress? Are life issues taking you away from finding joy in your journey? I specialize in managing stress, anxiety, parenting and blended family issues, depression, substance abuse, trauma, empty nest, infertility issues, grief and loss, anger management, and abuse. In the past I have worked at as a Mental Health Therapist in a faith-based addiction treatment facility, as a family and parenting coach, as well as in private practice.

Life feels stuck in the same place. Inside it feels like rush hour traffic, so many thoughts, so many noises, it can be so hard to keep track. Your thoughts are not the kindest and feel scattered all over the place. Your emotions make it feel impossible to figure out the missing pieces. You’re trying to start new habits and make life changes, but you keep finding yourself back where you started. These messages from society and life creep in and it feels like there is something wrong with yourself and your brain. Here is the thing, there’s nothing wrong with you. Sometimes, we adapt in ways that work.Other times, our tools backfire.

Hello, I'm Heather. I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds whom have different needs. I often work with individuals, couples and families with complex concerns ranging from learning about yourself to addressing the challenges that hinder you from being able to live the life you desire. Trauma and attachment are common concerns that I see that impact many areas of life. Sometimes the hurts are recent; sometimes they happened long ago; sometimes they are still happening. I utilize a variety of theories and models specifically tailored the person/couple/family.

My perspective in my work is to figure out how to meet people at where they are at. I am compassionate and will try to find humor in any situation. I have experience working with children and adolescents with ASD, anxiety, depression, and self harm. I was a behavioral therapist at Minnesota Autism Center and then worked at Prairie Care inpatient hospital as a psychiatric technician and group facilitator. I love to see the effort that people put in their own treatment like trying out new activities. I will be your cheerleader.

If you're navigating work-life balance, stressors, and likely facing the ongoing challenges compounded by the pandemic, I am here to come alongside you as you seek healing, health and wellness. I have a special interest in serving adult-aged clients in the BIPOC community. Whether you are in college, graduate school, or a working professional, I'm taking new clients in Uptown (& telehealth) at this time. Maybe you are finding yourself at a crossroads, facing a major (or minor) life change. Therapy with me will be holistic, person-centered, integrating your story as you slow down, seek clarity and pursue a conscious, welcomed change.

Transforming trauma into triumph: healing starts here. Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery & growth. I strive to break barriers, end toxic cycles & reduce the stigma. I am passionate about embracing diversity & inclusivity in therapy to provide a safe space for BIPOC voices to be heard. As a child of immigrants with a bicultural background (Lao & Korean), I can bring a unique perspective. I can empathize with cultural differences in mental health treatment & generational trauma. I believe in the crucial link between mental health & overall well-being. I hope to work alongside clients, guiding them to a self-healing journey.

I provide diagnosis assessment, therapy and intervention services if needed to adults and families.
