I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over ten years of experience working with couples, families, adults and adolescents. I approach therapy with curiosity and compassion. I believe we are all doing the best we can with what we know, yet there are times on our journey that we seek change, healing or growth. I offer a safe space to explore habits or patterns that are no longer serving you or your relationships. With straightforward, honest and compassionate therapy, I work with you towards healing and contentment.

Family conflict? Relationship struggles? Parenting concerns? Teen concerns? Transition and Identity questions? We are a group of therapists who value authenticity, kindness, and relationships. At Down to Earth Therapy we are committed to not only listening, but to actively partnering with you and helping you make the changes you, your partnership, or your family desire. We welcome clients of all class, sexuality, ethnicity, race, gender, and spiritual belief.

Feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, not good enough, stuck or lost? Maybe you just experienced loss, a life changing event, questioning your identity or there is something from your past you want to address. From the outside it may look like you have it all together but inside you feel empty and are barely making it through each day. You want to be the vibrant person who connects with others, is at peace with oneself and feels as though you have a purpose in life. I can help you find your path, process the past or overcome what you are currently facing.

I work from a systemic and holistic perspective with individuals and couples. I believe in utilizing each client's unique strengths to help them find hope in the midst of suffering. My practice is informed by a belief that we are all resilient and able to work through challenges from a place of strength, acceptance, and self-compassion. I have formal training in marriage and family therapy, and use that to help my clients experience more joy and satisfaction in their relationships with themselves and others.

*Not currently accepting new clients* I specialize in relationships! I have been a therapist for over thirteen years and continue to learn everyday. I believe therapy is more than simply listening. I will actively listen, reflect, and challenge you, your partnership, or your family to grow. I am also trained in ART which is a procedure that heals using bilateral eye movements to shift sensation and emotion, peeling it away from the images that cause the discomfort.

Hi! I'm Eleanor. I am passionate about serving children (ages 7+), teens, couples & families through coping with transitions and life difficulties. We are all currently in a big transition in various ways with Covid-19, and I am here to help you, your child and family navigate through it. It is normal to feel stressed or anxious, overwhelmed, irritable or sad right now. Having a supportive therapist can help make it all more manageable.

My experience working with a diverse population of families, couples and individuals of all ages has led me to adopt and practice with a relational, client-centered and strengths-based approach. This follows my observations that individuals have internalized resources, wisdom and capacity for resilience that are often unrecognized or repressed. Strengthening those parts of the self provide the most enduring and transformative healing experiences. I also believe a critical component of my work with clients is helping them understand the brain/body connection, and how to utilize this understanding to manage symptoms and responses.

Are you or your teen facing a challenge that feels too big to manage? Or maybe life has just gotten too stressful lately... No issue is too big or small for us to tackle: relational conflict, family transitions, anxiety, depression, sexuality, trauma, behavioral issues - whatever brings you here, I am eager to join you on this journey! Together, we'll work to cultivate hope and healing for life's tough challenges. I enjoy working with adolescents (ages 10+), teens and adults as they bravely work to overcome hardships of all kinds. I also offer family and couples therapy to address complex relational issues.

I view therapy as a process of understanding and healing. Often times we discover that there are parts of ourselves that we do not acknowledge, we cannot acknowledge, because the pain is too great. Finding a balance between acceptance and change, while sustaining compassion, can help us grow stronger.Therapy work needs to be done together, in a safe space, at a safe pace. I have seen the impact of trauma on daily life...and I have seen people heal by doing this work. I would be honored to be a part of your process.

My name is Michael and I'm a mental health therapist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I work with families and individual clients that are 18+, adult men and women, non-binary and ace identified, who are seeking brief supportive counseling, as well as more depth-oriented emotional work. I emphasize safety, attunement, curiosity, and humor when I collaborate with my clients. It's important that you take the time to "kick the tires" of therapists to find a good fit.

Are you discouraged or lonely? Do you find it difficult to be kind to yourself? Do your relationships feel unmanageable? Do you feel as if your creativity is stifled? You don't need to keep it all inside. I know how important it is to be heard without judgement. I am good at identifying hidden strengths... strengths you may discount due to self-criticism and emotional pain. We can work together to help you love yourself so that you may be able to fully experience the love of others and accomplish the things you hope to accomplish. I offer support and encouragement to help you gain a more positive perspective on your life.

I have an intense curiosity about human behavior and why people make the decisions they do. As a therapist I use that as a way to help people gain insight and understanding about their lives, ultimately finding greater happiness and fulfillment.  I'm committed to helping my clients live their best lives. My specialties are counseling with adult adoptees, and therapy for May/December Couples coping with age related issues, Interracial Couples, and Blended families. I also work with individuals to help them overcome Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Stress, Inward Compassion, along with Adult ADD/ADHD

For many of us, living fully in the present moment is hard to do when pain from the past forces itself into our daily lives. That pain can come from past abuse or neglect, rejection, disappointment, grief, a serious medical condition, feeling different or never fitting in, losses that may accompany aging or other life transitions, or the accumulated assaults of racism, sexism, homophobia or any other "ism". My goal as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Becoming Safely Embodied Practitioner is to work together with you to help you learn to live more fully in the present moment, free from the pain of the past.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (#21952) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (#303042). I work from a trauma-informed, harm reduction perspective. I am queer identified and use she, her and hers pronouns. I specialize in working with people with a history of trauma or adversity, people with substance use concerns, LGBTQIA + people and people living with or impacted by HIV. I use a variety of approaches in therapy, based on individual needs and preferences as one size does not fit all. Some of these approaches include: Relational therapy, ACT, CBT, AEDP, IFS, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy.

Being human can feel like such difficult work. How to live life fully awake and alive, openhearted and embodied? It can seem like an insurmountable task when we are confused or stuck, and desperate for some opening. I provide companionship and guidance to support you along your road, to find acceptance and an open heart amidst change. I help you to access different ways of internal knowing in order to come through experiences of grief, loss, shame, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis, physical health issues and trauma, to a greater sense of purpose and a life fully lived.

I have special interest in working with issues of terminal illness, grief loss and transition with children and families. I work with children with attachment, ADHD, trauma, and behavioral issues. I work with women issues surrounding self- esteem and personal growth. I have an extensive background in theater and the arts. I incorporate nature, animals, drama, art and play into my therapies with clients. My work also focuses on treating PTSD and anxiety. I incorporate trauma informed care into my work. I believe healing is possible and I am here to walk the path with my clients to a place of growth and positive change.

I see individuals and couples. One of my strengths as a therapist is working respectfully with men who would rather not be in therapy. I understand why many men are skeptical about therapy, or uncomfortable talking about feelings, and I do not get judgmental or impatient about this. Men who are concerned that in couple therapy they might be ganged up on and blamed will find that I don't this, to them or their partner. And of course, I also enjoy working with women, and with men who are comfortable with therapy!

I have had the honor of supporting others in healing and growth for over 10 years. As a relational therapist, I'm passionate about working with teens, individuals, couples, and families. I 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. I create an open and inviting space for others to engage in deep introspective reflection that helps foster creativity, authenticity, and expansion.
