Jewish Therapists in Olmsted County, MN

Hi! My name is Rosie. My pronouns are she/they. In my therapy practice, I work with children and teens between the ages of 4 to 18, and families. My focus is working with individuals who have experienced struggles related to anxiety and mood disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, learning disabilities, attachment disruption, changes in the family system, adjustment to stressors, and the impacts of chronic stress and trauma, as well as identify development.

I have been in practice providing individual and couple therapy for over 44 years. My areas of expertise include marriage and relationship counseling, divorce and blended families, and work with individuals who have issues related to depression and anxiety, family of origin, chemical dependency and co-dependency. My clientele includes both heterosexual and gay and lesbian individuals and couples. In addition, I work with clients for whom religion or spirituality are important dimensions of their lives, both as a source of strength and as a source of challenge or conflict.

Authentic Roots Therapy is a mental health collaborative where licensed professionals provide individual, couple, & family mental health therapy in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We specialize in working with children, couples, families, LGBTQIA+ individuals, individuals who are questioning, curious, transitioning, or identifying as transgender/non-binary, mothers in postpartum, faith communities, individuals experiencing traumatic symptomatology, and highly sensitive men.

Everyone struggles with patterns, things we become "stuck" on. I work to help my clients identify what these are and what contributes to them. During this process, we work through the memories, thoughts, and behaviors that maintain these patterns. Many of our challenges start from us trying to help ourselves, whether it be coping with something or problem-solving. So, addressing these reasons is essential to treatment, and I take a strength and values-based approach. With additional training in art therapy, we also may use expressive art techniques.

Are you a teen or young adult looking for someone to connect to who will listen, empathize, and provide non-judgmental feedback? Are you someone who struggles with emotional expression, anger, and thinks therapy is "not for you"? Are you adjusting to college life and need a bit of support through the transition? Or are you a parent of a teen or young adult concerned about any or all of the above? I can help.

Does anxiety make you feel stuck? Do you feel like you are facing life’s challenges and struggles alone? I am here to assure there is hope and that therapy can open the space for you to unload all the burdens and allow you to process your experiences in a safe and caring environment. As a therapist working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, ADHD, stress, trauma, and women’s issues, I am here to provide authentic and honest support while helping you navigate your struggles. Remember, you are capable of incredible things, and I am here to guide you towards the life you deserve.

My current work focuses on sex therapy. My areas of speciality within sex therapy include desire and arousal issues, desire discrepancies between partners, vulvodynia/vaginismus and other sexual or pelvic pain, and the intersection of sex and disability. Additionally, I work with adults and older teens–especially queer, trans and LGTBQIA+ people—around issues of mood, attachment, addiction, and identity. I also write letters of support for gender affirmation surgeries.

I believe it is important to empower others to consciously narrate their lives. I value helping people through empowerment, nurturance, and education. I am innovative provider and enjoy creativity in the therapy room. I utilize a strengths based approach in therapy, and see the therapy as a collaborative process. I am passionate for helping individuals find confidence and courage, and I admire their resilience.

I believe people are basically competent, come to therapy because their usual coping skills are not working with problems. I am actively involved: therapy is a working partnership in which we review all your clues and then find solutions that fit for your specific needs. I believe in the healing qualities of relationships. I have trained in Pia Mellody's PIT Model to work with people in recovery from childhood trauma, addictions and relationship problems who are struggling with anxiety, depression and other emotional stresses. I am currently only accepting private pay for new clients.

I provide therapeutic solutions to adults and teenagers that are struggling with relationships, low self-worth, high levels of anxiety and depression. I specialize in working with clients who have a history of trauma related to family dysfunction, difficult relationships, or loss of loved ones. My clients are looking to restore confidence, clarity, and serenity to their lives.

Making change and asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do. I’m Jenna (She/Her), and my work focuses on building connection and holding a safe space for clients to feel the full range of their experiences. Finding comfort in the uncomfortable, we can change old patterns that don’t serve us anymore, communicate our needs, and cultivate social justice and joy. I am here to celebrate and support your unique passions, and to learn from you what matters most in your life. I work with clients to build resilience and self-esteem, reduce stress, heal from trauma, and achieve greater self-awareness.

Our journey begins with a mutual exploration, where I strive to understand you on a profound level through thoughtful inquiries, while also respecting your boundaries. These questions are designed to unearth your essence, identify your strengths, and pinpoint obstacles to your success. If you find value in it, I may provide assignments to further your growth. Progress is not only rooted in our sessions' revelations but also in embracing your authentic self. Together, we embark on a transformative path towards personal and professional flourishing.

Therapy can be a transformative process that helps you reclaim your vitality and connection with yourself and others. Through my 18 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck in life now, and address those issues in a way that creates lasting change. I utilize treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and other dynamic strategies to help you live life with more vibrancy and joy.

Connection. It's what heals us. Connection to self, loved ones, community, nature, art, purpose- it's the main ingredient for a life worth living. But this world is messy, and our lives can look like anything BUT connection for weeks, months, years... how long has it been? There are so many ways to end up here: stressful or traumatic experiences, an "othered" identity (think LGBT, race, spirituality, etc.), parenting children with high needs, or stigmas around a mental health condition. That feeling of disconnection can touch every thought, feeling, and dream that you have. But here's the good news: This is where our story begins.

Navigating interpersonal relationships to enhance wellbeing and a sense of tranquility need not be a solitary endeavor. The world can feel chaotic; our lives need not mirror this tumult. Feelings of irritation, sadness, fear, and emptiness are normal in times of change and uncertainty. When these feelings become overpowering or they are negatively impacting your life: change is critical. I believe exploring your ideal personal philosophy is critical to (re) establish life balance.

Finding the right therapist is an important and courageous step in the process of creating a more fulfilling life. I believe that everyone has their own answers. I will work collaboratively with you and offer you support, feedback and perspective to help you move forward. We will build on your strengths to work toward the personal growth that you are committed to achieving. I work from a developmental perspective, where we will look at what you are experiencing in the context of your life's experiences. I will provide a non-judgmental, safe space for you.

I'm currently full- but my Mindful Way colleagues may still have openings. Making the step to come to therapy is a hard one. I feel honored to provide a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to share your story and truly be heard. I believe you are the expert on your relationships, health, emotions, and body. I work with Adults and children (ages 2-7). I welcome folks of all backgrounds (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation) and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, culturally responsive environment that supports your healing journey.

You’re wondering how or if you’re ever going to make it as an adult. You feel like you’re failing because you are so scared, sad, unmotivated, unfocused, and isolated. A part of you wants to figure things out and a part of you wants to escape everything. You might be asking yourself, will I ever: find lasting love or friendship, achieve enough in school, land a job that makes me happy, start a family, be a good enough parent, and figure out how to balance it all? I help Millennials and Gen Zs to overcome self-doubt, uncertainty, and helplessness to build the life they want.
