Therapists in Downtown, Saint Paul, MN

I believe in fostering creative imagination and illuminating the stories found within. I aim to find belongingness and connection with clients where storytelling through art and expression becomes an active process of investigating our perceptions, identities, and communications more effectively through the forms and symbols we make. Supporting, challenging, and witnessing clients' journeys of re-creation is the starting place where I can begin to help clients find healing and freedom in their present circumstances.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I believe in the dignity of all people. Every client has a story that needs to be told in a safe and trustworthy environment. The typical client I see often experience issues with depression or anxiety. Every problem has a solution and it my job to help you find the answer, both immediate and long-term. My goal is to help you live a safer, happier and more healthy life. I promise our time together will be respectful and productive.

Your reasoning for seeking therapy is specific and unique. My name is Susan and I help my Clients to create a safe place to explore, grow, and better understand their feelings and motivations. Together, we will find new ways to listen deeply and understand the roots of the patterns keeping you stuck, frustrated, or lost. I believe that therapy is a learned skill that we will refine together to come up with a course of therapy that suits your personal values, preferences, and needs.

I have experience with trauma, sever mental illness and life transitions. I work at my client's pace and follow the road they take in therapy. My approach is to give gentle guidance, educate, and creatively blend a holistic trauma-informed stance, which is the best success for healing. The creative process, through visual art and storytelling, opens up the unconscious mind, cleansing emotional pain while giving a common universal language. I explore with the client many curiosities of the human condition. Helping to connect the behaviors that motivate us to balance our individual strengths and inherit capacity for good social interest.

When challenges interrupt life, making it difficult to manage, having a therapist/guide to help you regain your potential gets you where you want to be sooner with greater success. We live in a culture that often encourages us to “just tough it out”. We can begin to believe that asking for help means admitting failure, and we fall further into despair. The truth is the therapy process creates space and time for you to explore what is at the root of those challenges. We will work together to build a genuine therapy relationship that supports your journey toward improved functioning and life satisfaction.

Hi, I'm Adam. Therapist shopping can be difficult! Some general info about me: I have a psychodynamic orientation (which means I believe that the relationship between the therapist and you is an important part of the process). My work is informed by buddhist ideas (i.e., most suffering comes from attachment to something). I like to use humor and poetry in therapy. In the end, I believe we need to feel some sense of connection with the person we are working with, so I encourage you to "shop" until you find the person who feels right to you.

Would you like to better understand yourself and feel more confident, resilient, and at ease in your day to day life? Do you have a teenager or college student who is awesome in so many ways, yet also struggling at the same time? I'm Dr. Emily Anastasio, and my private practice is intentionally small and dedicated to helping each individual I work with not just cope with life, but thrive. I offer highly personalized attention and the highest degree of confidentiality. I also offer a Therapy First approach for those with gender dysphoria, which is now rare in the field of mental health.

My practice has multiple providers taking new patients. We provide a space where you can express yourself without fear of judgment. The goal is to understand your experience and work to see things in a new light in order to bring a renewed sense of hope. Establishing a strong toolbox of coping skills along with raised awareness of what brought you into therapy can bring a stronger sense of empowerment for positive change. I believe everyone has the ability to navigate what life throws at us and make meaning from those challenges. "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.

Life is hard. That’s pretty clear. But it’s made all the more difficult for those who are autistic, carry trauma, or are within the LGBTQIA+ community. The difficulty is unique.

Together we will work through the stories you’ve been taught, the expectations you’ve had to meet, and the experiences that brought you further and further from yourself.
