Codependency Therapists in Little Canada, MN

Tired of feeling stuck? You've had it with depression and anxiety taking you away from being present. If thinking could rid you of it you would have been freed long ago because you are insightful. It is time to identify the root issues, confront the pain and fear from the past so you can move forward. It is time to live out your values with integrity and have meaningful connections with yourself, your loved ones and your community.

Experience Counts Life makes one consistent demand: that we adjust to change. After 45 years of experience in providing therapy, I have learned many wise approaches to change that seem to help my clients. Throughout these years of providing empathetic, energetic, thoughtful care to my clients, I have also personally seen a lot of change. At the time of my graduate degree in clinical social work from Tulane University in 1974 the therapy world was all about psychodynamic therapy. I always appreciate that classical training, but have also evolved to include a more cutting-edge, holistic, client centered approach.

Currently Accepting New Clients, ages 18+. Morgan is a clinician who is committed to building trusting, therapeutic relationships, where clients feel empowered to search deep within themselves to foster healing, confidence, and a strong sense of personal identity. Having experience working with complex cases, Morgan does not shy away from the unique challenges her clients present, offering curiosity and hope in the process of healing. Previously working in the community with the SPMI (Severe & Persistent Mental Illness) population, Morgan has a wealth of knowledge and compassion.

I am not currently taking new clients. In my practice I focus on the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for understanding how the brain and body interconnect, and respecting the client's own innate capacity to heal. I have experience working with ethnically and socioeconomically diverse individuals with a range of issues, including anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, grief, life transitions, and trauma.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Ordained Minister with over 20 years of combined experience as a Pastor and Therapist working with individuals, couples and families as they navigate life's challenges. I work with couples, adults, and teens dealing with complex grief, life transitions, caretaker fatigue, boundaries, trauma and abuse, and spiritual issues. I employ a holistic approach and systemic perspective to therapy, believing people are made up of many parts – body, mind and spirit, existing in complex relationship systems. I am a member of AAMFT and MAMFT.

What I offer is genuine concern, empathy, kindness, and the kind of listening that lets you know you've really been heard and understood. I can help you identify what is causing your pain and will offer practical suggestions and specific tools you can try right away to try to improve your situation. Together we can look at your difficulty, find a way through, and make meaning out of your experience, which will lead you to a more grounded sense of self, healthier relationships, and a more satisfying life.

I am passionate about meeting people right where they are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Many clients who felt anxious about beginning therapy have expressed how quickly they felt comfortable with me. I consider it a great privilege to work with individuals and families during formative years of growth and transition. My goal is to provide a safe environment that is both supportive and challenging.

Are you feeling a lot of resentment, disappointment, anger, overwhelm, guilt or frustration? If you would like to feel more happiness, compassion, gratitude, joy and see yourself and others more honestly then I would be honored to work with you. I work with teens, adults, parents and couples who are hoping to overcome emotional difficulties and negative self talk patterns. You will enhance your ability to connect with yourself and others. I see individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, bereavement, women's issues, self-esteem issues, couples issues, employment stress, family conflict, parenting, relationship issues, trauma.

Adulting is hard, life can be difficult, and the whole thing can be overwhelming. Let's talk about it, let's yell at it, or meditate on it. All of the systems that we are a part of can impact the way we think about ourselves and our ability to connect with others. This can severely impact our mental health and our ability to heal. I am here to help you manage issues related to sexuality, severe and persistent mental illness, sense of self, trauma, loss, and life transitions.

I focus on attunement, naming my practice Modern Attunement to align with my belief that intimacy and growth grow from a place from being attuned to our gut instinct, the people that we share our life with. Attunement comes from being in the present, accepting the tension of intimacy in being known and knowing.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, grief, relationships, or a loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life? Does it feel like most of the time you are just going through the motions of life? Just trying to get through the day, answering emails, texts, or calls because you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, or sad? Do you question, wonder, or hope that things could be better? Together we work through and move past challenges/losses, make sense of emotions, and learn coping skills to help manage, improve, and overcome difficult relationships.

Have you tried therapy before just haven't "clicked" with the provider or felt like you don't get anywhere new? Many of my clients describe past experiences the same way. Therapy can be different. I have a gentle yet straight-forward approach that allows us focus on what is not working for you in your life. Whether you are going through a big life transition, relationship difficulties, divorce, parenting issues, or just not happy with life; therapy can help. Together, we ill work to find new ways to cope and adjust to the challenges of life.

Currently Accepting Clients - - Do you want to get unstuck from trauma responses and unhelpful patterns? Would you like to feel a sense of ease in your relationships?
