Autism Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I am well versed in several counseling techniques and have a compassionate approachable demeanor. My counseling experience is above par and I am also organized with an attention to detail. Clients warm up to me quickly and I enjoy helping them reach goals and learn new thinking patterns to view life in a more positive manner. My therapeutic style incorporates expert listening, positive feedback, direct guidance, and creating an environment where you will feel comfortable to discuss your personal thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a safe place to discuss things that cannot be shared with family, friends, or colleagues.

As a parent of a struggling teenage son, you want to do whatever you can to help get your teen on the right path. I help struggling teenage guys discover their identity, realize their strengths, and use those strengths to catapult into adulthood with a sense of competence and confidence. Adolescence is an exciting time where teens form their unique identity, build meaningful social connections, and learn to think in an innovative way. Ironically, what makes adolescence so exciting can also make it enormously stressful for both teens and their caretakers.

As a therapist I believe that humans thrive through connection and finding a sense of belonging. I work with LGBTQAI+ Folx experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions with an emphasis in gender affirming care. I value walking alongside and supporting you in finding your own individual path to living a fulfilling life. I am here to support you in your journey and navigating the world and being able to live the life you know you need and want to live. I also have extensive experience working with Neurodiverse Folx. I recently applied for my Registered Play Therapist Credential.

Welcome to MAP, a comprehensive mental health center dedicated to providing individual and family counseling, medication management, an ADHD skills program, premarital counseling packages, and psychological services in a warm, welcoming environment. Using a variety of evidenced-based modalities, our practitioners maintain integrity by prioritizing our clients.

People are unique human beings with a long list of remarkable qualities. Sometimes though, we feel that we have qualities that we need to work on to be our better selves. I work with individuals to find those qualities and strengthen the ones we want to stay around. You may be a good fit for me if you: have ADHD, have children, are a family with adult children in the home, are a lifelong learner, are tired of looking at the positive side all the time, and willing to work on your problems in and out of therapy!

If you are reading this, its an important step you just took towards your own healing journey. At Life and Light Healing and Wellness we lovingly attend to you, to all that makes you...you, to co-create a healing space. Whether it's the dark clouds of depression, the tentacles of anxiety, or the storm of PTSD, our clinicians are equipped with the tools and skills to support you through your journey to healing.

Not accepting clients at this time. I work with teens, adults, couples, and other relational dynamics in addressing difficulties related to mood regulation, trauma, self-image, and identity. I am excited to work with anyone and everyone, though I specialize in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks. My work centers social justice and acknowledges the impact of oppressive systems on individual and relational health.

Are you noticing patterns that cause you immense strain and stress in your everyday life? Is your child or teen struggling with relationships, school; or with what looks like anxiety or depression and you don't know how to help them? I’m a Clinical Social Worker committed to helping youth, families and individuals learn how to build and maintain healthier relationships within their social networks and within themselves. When working with clients, I work on resetting damaging mental frames and creating positive coping strategies to deal with life's many challenges.

I specialize in women, mothers, people pleasers, perfectionists and neurodivergent humans. If this is you : you might feel stressed out, burnt out or anxious. You may feel depressed, lonely or isolated. You may be too hard on yourself for not being perfect. You may struggle with low self-esteem or not feeling good enough. You give everything to your family, your job, your partner and have nothing left for you. You are so busy doing all of the things you don't have time to truly take care of yourself. Your tank is empty. You may even wonder how you can keep doing this day after day. This is not how you want your life to be.

I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a warm and judgment-free zone by utilizing a person-centered approach with a social justice lens, Health at Every Size principles, humor, and an array of mindfulness, self-care, and self-compassion tools. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a partnership that learns and grows together. I consider my therapeutic approach laidback, informal, compassionate and full of curiosity. As we work together I hope to help provide you with insight, gain life/coping skills, and encourage exploring what you need to live a fulfilled and authentic life.

My vision is to help you find overall peace & wellness within your life utilizing a holistic care model that is individually tailored to your overall health goals. My knowledge base is informed by several treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, & Mindfulness practices. This has provided me with a strong foundation for guiding others to achieve their goals in life & address any barriers that may be getting in the way of leveling up!

Honestly, he’s a really great guy. Chris is the type of therapist that can help you work through some real, heavy stuff, but he can also have you laughing right after (He does improv comedy. Like, what? Awesome!). And, as he would say, "But, I’m also hardcore nerdy and love building an authentic, lighthearted relationship with clients. I love to talk video games, the MN Twins, comedy, and anything alternative. So, I dig it all.”

As a queer, polyamorous parent, I get that life can be unexpected! My hope is that you feel heard, validated, and empowered to take on the challenges thrown your way. I value the rawness of human experience and will challenge you to grow - which can be uncomfy! I'm thrilled to support everyone's path, but I especially enjoy working with LGBT+ folx, people navigating non-traditional relationships, people at any stage of parenthood, teens, neurodivergent folx, and sexual assault survivors. I am sex-positive, body-neutral/HAES, kink-friendly, and sex-worker-allied.

Hi there! I'm a therapist. I’m also a hope generator, truth bomb dropper, and perspective provider who will help you take ownership of your life. We’ll start to sort and organize your life story, unearth harmful patterns, and generate solutions that will help you live with more intention and authenticity. Through that process, you’ll see yourself, your life, and your experiences through a different perspective that will help you break through barriers that have held you back. I'm enthusiastic about increasing access to narcissist abuse recovery, effective OCD treatment, anti-diet culture, religious trauma, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Have you had a recent "awakening" in your life? You’re not alone. You’re seeking to better understand yourself. Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to life is weighing on your heart. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc). Or you have a health situation that isn't resolving, despite trying every tool in your box. If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are mind, body, & spirit.
