Female Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. It is hard to be faced with so many unknowns regarding health, finances, politics, relationships, and the world at large. If you are a highly sensitive person, you may feel raw to everything around you including sounds, physical touch, or even other peoples' emotions. Or perhaps you would like a more fulfilling sex life and/or would like to feel more connected in your relationship(s).

Life can be wonderful, exciting and full of joy! However, sometimes the continued stress and challenges of today's world have made it difficult for individuals and couples to find time to be loving, compassionate, and kind to themselves and others. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted. They are looking for support as they re-engage in loving themselves and growing their capacity for self-compassion and care. Many individuals I see are hoping to relieve and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and apathy. I help guide clients as they reflect and identify areas for growth and change.

I work with clients exploring gender and sexual identity, questions and difficulties in monogamous, polyamorous, familial, or platonic relationships. I enjoy assisting clients with learning how to deepen their relationships with their emotions, values, and communities. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I'm here to help in your journey towards building more awareness, purpose, and connection so you can show up as the person you want to be in this world.

Each person's unique inner world intertwines mind, body, spirit, emotion, imagination, and energy. Our inner world communicates through all these outlets, and they can be used as a roadmap to healing and wellness. Any symptom you might be experiencing is the body's way of communicating an imbalance, and together we will try to determine what that is. My role as a therapist is to help you tap into your body's deep wisdom, intuition, and to sense, experience, and integrate parts of yourself that you have been afraid or ashamed to acknowledge so you can feel more whole.

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Emily, I am a therapist that specializes in trauma, addiction, and healing work. I aim to be a place of safety, guidance, and support for anyone who is seeking to experience more joy and connection in life. As an interracial adoptee and body of culture myself, I recognize the extreme harm that systemic racism has on communities and bodies of color/culture. I believe in communal healing.

Being a person can be hard! I'm passionate about helping clients through depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and relationship and substance use issues. If you are struggling with any of the difficult feelings of being human, I want to help! When you learn to trust your own intuition, identify your needs, and define your boundaries, you are better able to advocate for yourself and the life you want. I focus on helping each individual to make deep connections, uncover your own inner strength and wisdom, and cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life. At times you may just need a little extra support where you're at, and I'll meet you there!

My greatest assets as a therapist: I quickly conceptualize problems due to years of experience, and am astute at assessment and solutions. I have great relationships with my clients, am non-judgmental, and easy to talk with. I'm empathetic, and give practical, well-reasoned advice with a great sense-of-humor. Few issues are new to me because of my varied experience. People I do best with: Mature people looking for help with all types of issues. Couples who want to improve relationships, change maladaptive behavior, and communicate better.

Do you feel isolated, anxious, or depressed? Do you have relationship challenges? If so, I can help quickly with proven treatments that get to the root cause and then resolve it. Painful memories and events from the past don't have to overwhelm you or limit your future. I work with individuals to heal from these difficult experiences. I can help you develop healthy boundaries and build trust in order to improve your relationships and really connect with others.

My goal as a therapist is to offer my clients a relationship that is safe, empowering, and collaborative. Together, we will explore and understand your unique struggles and obstacles to greater self-awareness and personal growth. Through the therapy process, I help my clients more effectively cope with the demands of their lives. At the same time, I help them develop a greater understanding of the underlying causes and patterns that contribute to the stress in their lives.

I provide individual and couples psychotherapy to a variety of clients. I am particularly interested in working with people going through life transitions including divorce, break-ups, job loss, career exploration and grief. Through deep listening and curiosity, I create a safe space to openly examine and gain insight into their challenges, helping them to relieve stress and achieve a sense of wellbeing. Using strategies from narrative, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness therapies, my sessions are an opportunity to nurture my clients' positive personal growth and change.

I have experience working with individuals and couples identifying as LGBTQ+ as well as heterosexual, cisgender in the areas of ADHD, anxiety, identity, trauma, parenting, phase of life changes, ENM, communication, and conflict management; among others. As an ADHD brain myself, I have a special interest in working with individuals or couples to address the personal and/or relational challenges of ADHD; we will deconstruct shame and self-worth stemming from ADHD, address communication difficulties, and increase overall understanding of how ADHD impacts all aspects of our lives.

Hello! My name is Marissa, and I am here to help you navigate the big questions, life transitions, and relational changes you experience. I work with people over the age of 13 who are striving to improve relationships, wrestling with questions about meaning or purpose, and seeking a deeper sense of authenticity, connection, and alignment in their lives. I work with people in romantic relationships and families of all configurations. This includes couples and polycules, relationships anywhere on the spectrum of monogamy/non-monogamy, blended families, and other relationships with nontraditional structures.

I value and understand the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, and work collaboratively with clients to tailor their therapy to meet their unique needs. I work with children (ages 3+), adults, and families and have experience with a variety of therapeutic techniques including play therapy, art therapy, solution focused, psychodynamic, EMDR and CBT.

I am committed to helping people overcome barriers in their lives and be the person they want to be. I can help you become someone who is fully engaged in all of the beauty that life can bring.

I am an experienced psychologist, couple and family therapist and nurse. Having had a career as a nurse clinician and educator before I became a mental health professional I can address a broad range of issues. I enjoy helping people find ways to improve the quality of their lives and their relationships. I believe that, in general, people do the best they can under the circumstances. I also believe that people are most likely made desired change in a positive environment where they feel accepted and respected. My goal is to create that kind of an environment. Welcome.

Clients see me for a magnitude of concerns, such as anxiety disorders, depression, anger management, issues of identity, and self-esteem. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and early-career professionals because these two age groups experience many life transitions that therapy can help them navigate. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for you to process, explore, and gain insight into many of your experiences. Whether or not this is your first experience in therapy, I will take the time to get to know you, and our work together will start from where you currently are.

If you've been affected by addiction in relationship or emotionally distant parents and find yourself struggling... I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to learn new and healthy ways to help yourself and consequently, those you love. If you are ready to start the journey of understanding, acceptance, and work toward change where it's needed... I will partner with you and begin right where you are at with no judgment. I especially enjoy working with spouses of addicted partners and Adult Children that grew up in an Alcoholic or Dysfunctional home. However, I also generally work with any life transitions or "feeling stuck".

Many of us feel like there are pieces missing from our lives. You might have experienced a loss, be going through a major transition, or simply be seeking meaning in a life that is just not quite what you expected it to be. Wanting support through these types of experiences makes sense, and you don’t have to do this alone. It would be an honor to collaborate with you. You are the expert on your life, and my role in the therapeutic relationship will be to help you awaken yourself to the wisdom you already possess.

Stressors in our lives often become overwhelming and confusing. They challenge our ability to cope. In collaboration with you, I provide practical guidance, support, and compassion to understand what might be helpful. I will gently and consistently challenge you to effectively change and move towards a meaningful and purposeful life.
