Now Accepting New Clients! My area of expertise is centered around working with individuals with a history of mental health disorders such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. In addition, I have ample experience working with clients dealing with self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideations, chronic stress, family conflict, and low self-esteem. Clients who see me aim to develop coping and adaptive skills to manage life difficulties, resolve conflicts, heal traumatic experiences, and develop a healthier sense of self.

I specialize in women, mothers, people pleasers, perfectionists and neurodivergent humans. If this is you : you might feel stressed out, burnt out or anxious. You may feel depressed, lonely or isolated. You may be too hard on yourself for not being perfect. You may struggle with low self-esteem or not feeling good enough. You give everything to your family, your job, your partner and have nothing left for you. You are so busy doing all of the things you don't have time to truly take care of yourself. Your tank is empty. You may even wonder how you can keep doing this day after day. This is not how you want your life to be.

It's not always easy for individuals to admit they can't handle their challenges alone, nor is it an admission of weakness to look for help. The world around us may appear scary and unkind sometimes, but I have an unwavering belief that we are all agents of change. I believe we can bring positive change to the world by empowering those around us, one individual at a time. This is why I do what I do, and this is what I can do to help you. It may seem hard today, but together we can find a way to make the burdens of life manageable.

I specialize in working with adults and couples, offering bilingual and biliterate therapy in Spanish and English. My passion lies in empowering individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds to discover their resilience and forge paths to fulfillment. I focus on areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions. I am deeply honored to accompany you on your unique journey of growth and healing!

I support individual adults (18+) in addressing challenges, some of which include healing and wellness from depression, anxiety, trauma (generational/PTSD/racial), life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, and cultural and relationship challenges. In doing so, I utilize person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and systemic approaches in therapy with specific techniques from ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, and EMDR. Clients can expect unconditional care, a sense of authenticity, respect for their unique story, and yes, even a space for humor when participating in one of my sessions.

I work with individuals, couples and families, (adolescents, adults, medicare seniors and persons with disabilities) who feel disconnected from themselves, their emotions, their relationships, bodies, life purpose, or higher power. This may be because of an addiction, a personality disorder, relationship distress, a developmental or neurological disorder, depression, anxiety or a host of other issues. We work together to imagine and create integration.I am passionate about helping people create personal health and well-being for themselves and in their relationships, however they define this.

I'm open to work with individual adults, couples and family, with a special interest in working with elder adults. I'm passionate about providing support to life transitions, relationship issues, emotional distress and promoting well-being. I'm naturally curious and passionate in learning how experience shapes life, in the counseling room, I dedicate in creating a non-judgmental safe space for clients to express, explore and heal. I believe in the uniquity of every individual, looking forwards to developing “exclusive” plan for each client through in-depth exploration and genuine acceptance.

I have over 25 years of experience. Most of us are faced with situations and issues at some point in our life we never dreamed would happen to us. When navigating what life throws at us it's not only helpful, but important for our long term recovery, to have the right support along the way. As a therapist with over twenty-five years of experience I have helped and supported many individuals, couples and families work through issues ranging from anxiety and depression to infidelity, financial stress, illness and death, separation, interpersonal and family conflict, addictions, identity and sexuality issues, as well as abuse issues.

Life can be difficult to navigate at times but you do not have to do it alone. In our work together I wont try to fix you, tell you what to do or assume what’s best for you. However, I will remind you that you aren't broken, give you room to access your own wisdom, support you in figuring out what to do, and collaborate with you on how to make the hard stuff easier to sit with. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and that it's my job to walk along side you and empower you to work with your own self knowledge during this process of growth and healing. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for this transformative work.

We all have the capacity to grow and heal. I honor the courage it takes to reach out for support and make the choices and changes necessary to find peace and fulfillment in life. Whether stuck in unsatisfying patterns, navigating transitions or challenging relationships, living with impacts of mental heath, trauma or life and work stress, I work collaboratively to develop insights, practical coping tools and uncover your resilient qualities. Therapy is a relational process and we will work together to reach your goals, often by exploring ways your life experiences have impacted you and finding strategies for relief and empowerment.

One of my greatest passions is providing therapy services to individuals who are looking to re-discover themselves and start their healing process. I believe in viewing my clients in the holistic form and that finding balance is essential to leading a healthy and productive life. In therapy, our relationship will be a partnership. We will work together to find the root of the problem, discover your unmet needs, and develop tools to help you gain control and flourish in your life, once again.

Hello, my name is Mary Bauer. I am Psychotherapist and Licensed Substance Use Professional who has been in the business for about 20 years. I specialize in depression, stress/anxiety, anger, alcohol and/or drug problems, individual, family, child/teen problems, and couple problems, or just feeling lonely. I have immediate openings in telehealth therapy and will do face to face as needed in Fridley where office is located. I take insurance and private pay. I would love to help you with your struggles.

From an outsider’s perspective, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished & admired, dependable & driven. But on the inside, you never feel quite good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You've spent the last however-many-years trying to keep it together, but it's exhausting and you don't think you can do it for much longer. You’re tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. But not anymore. It's time for a change.

Are you tired of therapists who say that they do relationship therapy only to have you practice basic communication skills? Are you tired of the lack of progress and want to get unstuck once and for all? I specialize in making sure that time does continue to pass by while you are feeling weighed down in the status quo. I'm straightforward and honest. My clients describe me as annoyingly neutral when they try to get me to take sides against their partners. They also describe me as willing to ask the hard questions and willing to keep people accountable. I love helping people navigate every stage of coupling or uncoupling.

Being an adult can be hard even when you are doing your best. Do you ever feel that despite your best efforts you are a mess or like you are putting on a front? I believe therapy can help. Through therapy we build a relationship that sets the foundation for change and gives you the space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Talking about and processing our thoughts and feelings helps us to make sense of our minds which allows us to heal and cultivate needed change in our lives.

Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling to identify a positive sense of self? You are not alone. Trying to navigate the pressures of the world can be exhausting. I believe in building an authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship, where you’re the expert on your own journey. Working collaboratively with you, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to explore and work towards positive change through patience, authenticity, and humor. My goal is to create a welcoming space for you to explore and work through challenges you've encountered on your personal journey.
