Behavioral Issues Therapists in Dakota County, MN

Welcome! I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from St. Catherine University and University of St. Thomas. I am an outpatient therapist and clinical supervisor. I thoroughly enjoy working with adolescents and adults in all life stages - primarily ages 13+. I have special interest in working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, domestic violence, first responders, and those involved in the criminal justice system. As a therapist, I believe it is important to find balance in therapy between acceptance and change, beginning where the client is at in order to meet their individual needs.

Working with children/youth who have social and emotional deficits is my passion. As a systems therapist I am committed to assisting each child/youth while also working with the family to handle difficulties that come with having a child with unique needs. My clients may have autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other mood/impulse control concerns which cause behavioral and relationship difficulties. Treatment plans are based on concepts of "Social Thinking" as well as behavioral and play-based interventions, CBT and Family Therapy approaches to maximize the learning and retention of skills across multiple settings.

I have been working as a therapist with children, teens, adults, couples and families since I received a Masters of Clinical Social Work from University of Saint Thomas/Saint Catherine University in 2017.

I enjoy coming alongside individuals, couples, and families, and helping those who would like to work through their challenges with stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD, academic difficulties, family problems, or other mental health concerns. I believe it is important to develop a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, to be compassionate, to listen carefully to them, to encourage them and empower them, to help them experience healing and hope in their lives.

Hello! My name is Sway and thanks for stopping by my profile!

I've been working with children since 1991, mostly at the elementary and preschool age level. In the 90's I developed a passion for play therapy and began my own training and experience. Twenty years later I have my ideal space at Cashman Center where I provide play therapy every day, addressing everything from anxiety to trauma to attachment, teaching new skills including assertiveness, self-advocacy, and emotional independence, and consulting with families. With over twenty years of experience doing assessments in the schools, I continue to do assessments for learning styles, behavior and mood dysregulation, autism, and ADHD.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and DBT-Prolonged Exposure for PTSD.

At times, I utilize additional modalities including CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), motivational interviewing and Art Therapy.

I provide integral treatment to support you. We collaborate on methods to work towards goals, wellness and thriving in a healthy lifestyle. In EMDR therapy you will be guided through an 8 phase treatment with BLS (i.e. eye movement or tappers). After determining which memory to target, you will hold different aspects of that event, internal associations arise and you can process the memory & disturbing feelings. The meaning of the painful event is transformed on an emotional level. In marriage therapy (EFCT), our goals are to understand love systemically, emotions & attachment needs, control negative patterns & shape positive bonds.
