Therapists in Minnesota

I hold a deep appreciation for the significance of people's stories. Guided by my Perisan cultural values, I help individuals rediscover themselves, process trauma, and navigate ongoing stress. Grounded in holistic, mind-body techniques, my approach empowers clients' voices and strengths across all aspects of life. I view mental health symptoms as natural responses to a pathologizing world, offering a fresh perspective to release deep-rooted shame and facilitate healing and growth. Through authenticity, humor, and curiosity, I aim to create a place that fosters sustainable healing and transformation.

Stefanie Hofman MA, LMFT is a seasoned professional therapist specializing in matters that sometimes make others uncomfortable. Whether it's trauma, sexuality, relationships, or personal angst, Stefanie uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, depending on client interest and need. She will meet the client where they are at and provides a safe space to explore themes that cause distress or dysfunction. Therapy can be difficult and at first, can feel embarrassing. Stefanie's specialty is assisting people with facing the challenges that prevent them from living life to the fullest in a warm and accepting environment.

I like to do relational work with partners and individuals--trying to navigate how to be in relationship with others can be really stressful and feel impossible. Common issues I work with are boundaries, communication, infidelity, maternal mental health, new parenting dynamics, self-esteem, family-of-origin issues, deconstructing and reconstructing faith, tools for a better relationship, and small "t" and big "T" traumas.

If you are searching for meaning in your life, appreciate a good metaphor, and are looking for a different approach to therapy that doesn't focus on a diagnosis, I might be a good fit for you. Looking for an approach that connects you to your ancestors and the cycles of the earth? Like to paint, draw, or otherwise engage your creative side? Enjoy being outdoors? Feel better after laughing, singing, or moving your body? Been told you are too much, don't conform, are non-compliant, or you're a weirdo? Whatever is going on for you, I'm here to help you embrace who you are, in all your beauty and difficulty.

Things weren’t always this way. There was a time when you could experience good things without waiting for the other shoe to drop. You used to be able to easily complete tasks that these days require all your effort just to start. But somewhere along the way, things changed. Now, everything is a struggle. You spend hours endlessly overanalyzing past conversations and situations, parsing them for mistakes you may have made. You hate the idea of letting anyone down, so you’re determined to be perfect. And when you inevitably fall short of this unattainable ideal, you criticize yourself for being a failure. Things can’t go on this way.

Another day of managing stress, trying to figure out what rules matter and what compromises have the least consequences. Get some rest, miss the deadline. Miss the workout, feel the irritability climb. Seems that playing by the rules has led you astray. The pieces seldom fit together anymore and all you really want is to feel good! Is it too much to ask to have a good relationship? One that loves and accepts you, without minimizing your needs or your hurt. Feeling so alone, when surrounded by people (people who don't hesitate to let you know what they need), is hard to explain. Yet you know it to be true for you.

My practice is currently accepting new patients. We're are urged to practice self-love and compassion, have good boundaries, and healthy relationships, but if you’re stuck in anxiety, self-criticism, or depression, it is hard to do.

Issues that I address include emotional/physical abuse, poor self-esteem and negative self-talk, grief, stress from relationships, jobs or society, depression and anxiety, and boundary setting.

Creating art promotes emotional awareness, reflection and processing of the human experience, and the beauty of using art therapeutically is that previous art experience is not required. I'm glad to work with clients who have never made art, or make it every day.
