Therapists in Saint Paul, MN

Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

Congratulations on taking the first steps towards better mental health. I have over 14 years of experience helping individuals living with mental health disorders develop coping strategies, find balance, and experience peace. I look forward to supporting you in creating lasting and effective change. My practice emphasizes dignity and self determination for every individual seeking recovery, balance, and well being.

Conflicted about entering therapy? We’ve all been there, but something brought you here today. Anchors of Healing works on the founding principle that all persons have grounding anchors within them to provide strength and stability. Anchors of Healing seeks to help support to uncover those anchors within you. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in the field. If you are seeking support and growth with life’s day-to-day obstacles, we can explore them together.

Healing comes from seeking understanding of the whole self. I provide a calm and compassionate space to work through intense anxiety, depression, grief, difficult relationships, parenting concerns or that feeling that things just aren’t right. Together we can explore patterns you may feel caught in, look at things in new ways, and reclaim parts of yourself that have been closed off or are waiting for the opportunity to grow. I enjoy helpIng adults, couples, and teens heal emotional wounds, work through intense trauma or abuse, work through the trauma of the everyday, and deepen awareness of needs, wishes, and heart’s desire.

Client needs, preferences, and strengths form the basis of my work. The emphasis is on collaboration. I draw from several therapeutic traditions, including family systems, CBT, solution-focused, family systems, insight-based therapies, as well as EMDR and other strategies for working through trauma. By identifying strengths and hopes, we together to define goals and a plan to reach them. We work on effective communication, building connections and problem-solving to help lead you the life you want.

People come to therapy for many reasons. In the first few sessions, I want to get to know you--what you are struggling with, your hopes and fears for the future, what seems to be getting in the way, what strengths and assets you bring. Together, we arrive at a plan, identifying your goals, sources of distress, and how best to work toward symptom relief and greater satisfaction with life and relationships. My approach integrates several treatment modalities, including psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based therapies, life-span developmental approaches, attachment theory, family and couples therapy.

I focus on anxiety, depression, assertiveness, boundaries, NT/AS relationships or marital problems. Single incident trauma treated with EMDR. OCD treatment utilizing ERP and CBT. Se Habla Español.

I am also a US Army veteran and personally understand many of the issues surrounding military life and culture.

I'm Sarah, an LCSW who has been practicing in the mental health field for over 6 years. Many of my clients find themselves struggling to balance all of life's responsibilities like work, kids, finances, relationships and school. This often creates anxiety, depression, and sense of overwhelm, and often feeling stuck, not knowing what next step to take. They want to organize their thoughts and sense of overwhelm, find ways to manage anxiety and depression, and learn new strategies to allow them to participate productively in all their roles.

My clinical work focuses on building strong, meaningful, reparative connections with people, in which I truly honor your vulnerability and wisdom. In our work together, I will meet you exactly where you are in your journey, and bring high energy and passion as we work to help you navigate your current challenges. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, parents, and helping/service industry professionals, and have 10+ years experience in the mental health field.

Starting now, you can begin a brand new journey toward a more positive path for yourself – one that’s filled with growth, well being, acceptance, and empowerment.

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

Turning towards any source of conflict takes a great deal of strength and courage. The fact that you're here, reading my profile, is an indicator you're considering facing your source of conflict. You might be struggling with how to communicate. You and your partner may be having difficulties sharing with each other your needs for closeness, appreciation, and connection. You might even find yourselves having the same arguments nearly every day about things like life changes, household responsibilities, or parenting disagreements.

At Kendra Snyder Therapy & Associates, our therapists specialize in supporting those who have been touched by adoption, grief, loss, trauma, and hurt from religion, as well as people who desire increased connection, to explore personal identity, and to find an authentic belief system or spirituality.

Are you or a loved one thinking about making a change to your drinking or substance use? I can help. Some of my clients have been in and out of rehab many times and were looking for an alternative-someone with deep expertise who can provide a new way of looking at their problem and identify a pathway out of their suffering. Still other clients came to me because they did not feel that they needed something as intensive as rehab and wanted to work on their substance use while still taking care of their career, family, home and other obligations. I would be honored to be of assistance.

Despite the fact that therapy often requires facing some painful realities, for many of the people I work with therapy is a lot of fun. I bring my compassion, training, experience, and dedication to therapy, and in exchange I ask that you take chances: trying something different even if it makes you feel uncomfortable, being vulnerable even if it hasn't always worked for you in the past, and being honest even when it might be a difficult truth to face.
