Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Lasting change is possible through a therapeutic relationship that is safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and engenders openness and trust. Our work together also values your uniqueness and specific goals. The client-therapist relationship is a chance to try new ways of thinking and feeling, being heard, understood and knowing yourself in a profound, new way.

Let’s talk about healing…what are we struggling with that is our responsibility to heal and what might we be carrying that was passed onto us? Giving yourself the grace and compassion to heal is one way to change the dynamics of our interactions with others as well as our relationship with ourselves. Holding space for people to explore the impact of mental health on their own life is the central focus of my work. I am a relational therapist and feel that it is most important to establish a sense of trust and empathy with clients in order for therapeutic growth to occur.

Immediate openings available for new clients. Life can be challenging for all of us sometimes, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to offer a safe space for you and your story. The most important part of my work is developing a strong therapeutic relationship with you that is attuned to your unique healing process. Together, we can explore your experiences, feelings, and thoughts and work toward developing a greater awareness of underlying patterns, needs, strengths, and dreams.

*Please email about availability* Therapy is not surgery; you don't go to sleep and wake up with all of your problems solved. The sweat and strain and heavy lifting are mostly yours. But with this, however, you can feel more satisfied with therapy when actively involved in the sessions. It is my role to work with your motivation & continue to foster this growth towards positive change. I operate from a person-centered approach, which emphasizes being genuine, providing unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding in the efforts to foster our therapeutic connection to enhance this emotional & powerful relationship.

I'm not able to take new clients at this time! My passion is relationships. I love to explore how systemic and societal power structures influence how we connect with our partners, family members, and friends. I work with couples, families, and individuals in areas such as polyamory, boundaries, personal power, queerness, gender identity, sex and sexuality, trauma, stress, life transitions, chronic illness, and anything else that affects our ability to be authentically and safely ourselves.

I am an Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who works with adults and couples. I received my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and have a certification in marriage and family therapy. I also have a BSN in nursing which I feel has helped me see the impact of the mind and body connection.

I’m Eric Murtha, an integrative psychotherapist, licensed to practice in Minnesota. During my years in practice, I have developed an understanding and appreciation of the uniqueness of each individual and family that I have helped. I believe that we all develop patterns regarding how we think, deal with emotions, and relate to the people in our lives. Often these patterns have served us in the past. However, during times of stress, loss, or traumatic experience, these patterns may be unhelpful, and we can feel stuck. This is when therapy can make a big difference in feeling better and help us live more effectively.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and/or cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both in ways that bring positivity and restoration to ourselves and our relationships.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe that seeking out support when needed can be both extremely difficult and incredibly rewarding. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is an important part of that journey.

Have you tried talk therapy in the past or are you looking for a new innovative approach to traditional talk therapy? How do you feel toward your life? You may be good at keeping up appearances on the outside, but on the inside, you may be struggling with parts of yourself that are feeling overwhelmed, angry, impulsive, lost, sad, lonely, stressed, burnt out or stuck and reactive to people or situations. I help people learn how to calm their nervous system, heal their stories, and lead with awareness.

I have deep and 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 contentment, happiness and fulfillment.  I'm committed to helping my clients live their best lives. My specialties are counseling with Adult Adoptees, Adult ADHD/ADD, Couples /Interracial Couples. I also work with individuals to help them navigate their way through Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Stress Management.

The complexity of addiction and mental health can have a significant impact on one’s life and relationships.

My intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment within the therapeutic relationship.

I am also a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker.

All human beings are born with the capacity to be mentally healthy, at peace and happy. This capacity for wellness is never lost, it just gets forgotten or 'lost sight of.' I help people uncover the key factors interfering with their wellbeing. I have experience helping people alleviate symptoms of Depression, Grief and Loss, Anxiety, Addictions and many other concerns. Additionally, I help people create Harmonious Relationships, regain Self Esteem, reduce or eliminate Daily Stress and live with Ease and Purpose.
