Therapists in Duluth, MN

Congratulations for trusting yourself enough to explore ways to make your life easier! This is what my work is all about-helping you make your life easier. We all deserve to feel fulfilled and happy in our lives. If you're not able to do this on your own right now, please call to see if I'm the right fit for you.

I believe for better and for worse, we need humans. The for better, when we are living in healthy connected relationships, that generally feels good for us. The for worse, it’s really hard to human with other humans, and this is often a source of our distress. As a therapist, I help clients better understand their past and present relational patterns. I help clients find healing to empower them to show up as their authentic selves. Therapy can be so ambiguous at times. It is for this reason I provide individuals with the brain science of how we interact in the world while helping them set clear, realistic goals in their lives.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for helping and supporting others, which is why I love being a therapist. You as an individual come into my office with your own unique set of challenges, needs, and history. This allows me to really take my time getting to know who you are, what you're looking for, and what will be most helpful to you in our time together. I strive to create a safe space that utilizes a strengths based and non judgmental approach where you feel heard, understood, and more confident as you reach your identified goals at a pace that feels sustainable to you. My goal is to meet you where you're at.

I enjoy working with people and helping them better understand and cope with life challenges in the pursuit of healthy living. I am comfortable treating issues of family relations/conflict, mood disorders, grief and loss, as well as an array of adolescent issues. My strengths are looking at each individual and connecting their stories in the effort to find wholeness.

It’s no mistake that you have found yourself here… looking for help… support… guidance… something to get you out of stuckness… the “yuk”. You’re losing sleep at night, distracted during the day and just can’t seem to get it together. You’re consumed by sadness, fear, guilt and/or shame, feeling like an unmade bed … day after day after day. Maybe you’ve tried a thing or two… or maybe you think you have tried it all, and you’re still not where you want to be. What if I told you that there is a different path? A different approach to help you truly heal and live the life you want to live?

Since 1985, St Mary's Grief Support Services has provided a safe place for grieving youth and adults of all ages to heal. Because each individual's response to loss is unique, we offer an umbrella of resources to choose from. Seeking support can make the difference between grieving in isolation and thriving. Our mission is to facilitate healthy grieving and offer specialized therapy and support for those impacted by serious illness, caregiving, or the death of a family member, friend, or pet. Free grief literature is also available on our website.

I currently enjoy and have experience working with individuals of varying ages in providing services to address trauma with children, adolescents and adults as well as other stressors that may result in anxiety or other concerns. I am trained in evidenced based practices such as EMDR, CPT and TF-CBT and work with individuals to determine what is the best fit. My approach to therapy is to determine with clients and families what will be most helpful for the specific life circumstances and to meet them where they are in life.

My preference is to work with the adult population. I work well with trauma recovery for both victims and offenders. I am well versed in working with addictions issues. I believe that each individual has the resources they need to cope with the issues of their life and be the person they would like to be, stored within them. At times it is difficult to assess these resources when needed or desired. Come learn how to access your inner resources.

Are you experiencing overwhelming grief after the death of a loved one- feeling lost and confused, overloaded with a gamut of emotions ranging from sadness to anger, bewildered and have difficulty thinking, wondering how to get through each day without your loved one, energy level so low you have difficulty getting out of bed, working is a challenge or maybe is preferred for an escape. You are torn whether to process the loss or to hide it- either one creates anxiety and pain. The trauma of loss can affect each of us so differently!

I specialize in working with individuals who have experience complex trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and non-pathologizing. Clients often find me because of my experience as a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist or Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Client’s often report an increase sense of self-compassion, calmness, clarity & confidence in themselves.

I work with clients 12 and up who have depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, mood disorders, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. I also work with couples and help with communication skills and increasing intimacy.

Greetings! My name is Myret and I'm a pre-licensed counselor in Minnesota. Everyone has issues and sometimes we need help to alleviate our distress. I approach each person uniquely and believe the individual is the expert on their own experience and have most of the insights needed to help reach their goals but may not have the tools necessary to do so. I aim to provide a safe and open space for one to explore those elements of self required to see the changes they desire and to facilitate growth. My goal is to help you achieve the level of functioning that you wish for.

On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my dog, watching sports, being outdoors, reading, and being with friends and family.

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." James T. Mccay. Research has repeatedly shown that the single largest factor impacting treatment outcomes is not a provider's treatment methodology or theoretical orientation, but rather the quality of a client's relationship with their individual provider. Consequently I work with each client to design a carefully researched yet highly customized program that fits their unique needs. I am able to form a realistic plan for improving their life situation that brings about improvement in their symptoms quickly.

My ideal client comes to psychotherapy wanting to make change in their life. I believe in psychotherapy, that change is possible, and that small changes can lead to big differences in our lives. I look for clients willing to make these small changes, follow through on psychotherapy goals, and see what the outcomes are. I have worked extensively with college students, people with addiction struggles, professionals with ongoing mental health needs, couples and families, and artists and musicians.
