Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

My primary focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship so that you can feel valued and respected. I believe that people are experts in their own lives. We will use a non-pathologizing, collaborative, curiosity-based approach. I regard therapy as a sacred space. A session is your creative space to develop your preferred story.

I love to work with folks who are ready to connect with their innate power to heal and flourish in their lives. These folks may be feeling stuck in one way or another pushed to experience more, but not sure how to get there. They may be experiencing symptoms such as anxiety or depression because of this internal tug of war, or a sense of dissatisfaction in their jobs, relationships, or the accomplishment of their life goals. We all want to feel empowered to fulfill our dreams and potential in this life and I am here to help you connect to your innate ability to do so.

If starting therapy with a new therapist feels a little bit daunting, that’s alright! Life and all its stressors can be difficult to manage sometimes, and having positive support can make a huge difference for our mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe space where they can openly share their story, regardless of their various identities, background, or personal experiences. Healing is not linear; healing can be slow, stressful, and confusing. Sometimes we aren't quite sure where to start. My intention is to meet you with empathy and nonjudgmental care.

I specialize in LGBTQ+, Trauma, Divorce/Family Estrangement, Mood Disorders, and Couples Counseling.

I see life as a mosaic of experiences, and we all do the best we can with what we know at the time. But sometimes, anxiety, depression or the simple challenges of daily life can hold people back from living the fullest, best story of their life. My goal as a therapist is to explore and bring to light a person’s inner strengths, so they can overcome their personal obstacles and enjoy better, more productive lives and relationships. Everyone, regardless of life’s stumbles, deserves the best life they can imagine, and my goal is to walk with them and help them along this journey.

Numa Psychotherapy offers individual and relational psychotherapy to adolescents (12+) and adults. While each therapist at Numa has their own style, we generally focus on long-term, depth-oriented therapy. Our clinicians have significant experience working with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, neurodivergence, OCD, life transitions, and identity development/concerns (gender, sexuality, race, etc.). We prioritize the client's goals and objectives and are committed to helping each client live a life that's consistent with their values.

Trauma, anxiety, and ADHD that are unaddressed will have you feeling shame and guilt that never seems to go away. Feeling exhausted and disconnected from the people around you. Difficulty trusting others. Living in fear. Challenges with starting things and seeing them through to the end. Procrastinating and feeling "stuck". A critical voice in your head that never seems to chill out... To live this way can feel incredibly draining and debilitating. It doesn't have to be this way. There is hope and healing on the other side.

Accepting new relational clients (couples, families, ENM) only at this time-. If the sound of your morning alarm has ever filled you with dread, you've come to the right place. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating as hell, I get it. However, I'm a person who knows what it's like to be on both sides of the therapeutic relationship.

I have a strong interest in working with people who have a history of trauma and mood disorders. I use a variety of techniques especially tailored to the individual including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and exposure therapy, as well as mindfulness and cognitive techniques (CBT). I am also certified by the Linehan Board for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Whether you’re a nature lover or nature avoider, love to move your body or can’t stand to break a sweat, this therapy is for you. With today’s stressors, we all need nature more than ever. Take your therapy outdoors and gain the benefits of moving your eyes off the screen, engaging your senses, and really feeling your body in nature...all while addressing your personal goals.

The therapists at Emerge Therapy can help you understand and transform long-standing patterns that no longer serve you well. This includes being curious about early and current relationships, exploring unacceptable or difficult emotions, and increasing awareness of the relationship between mind and body. We have a holistic perspective on mental health and seek lasting change through in-depth and integrative work.

My client's are self-motivated, curious, and are open to learning about how their issues came about and what how healing might look differently for everyone. I assist my client's by setting attainable goals in regards to anxiety, depression, emotional understanding, behavioral changes, or becoming more okay with our automatic protective responses.

Hi, I'm Emma (she/they)! I'm a strong believer that our bodies hold inherent wisdom and that they are trustworthy. I also believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities, and that therapy is a unique and powerful exploration of those stories. I dream of co-creating a therapeutic environment where you can take up space, breathe a sigh of relief, and be courageous in your exploration of yourself. I resonate with therapy frameworks found in Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems, with a foundation in embodiment, somatics, and the impacts of our developmental experiences.

I’m so glad you’re here and thinking about coming to therapy! I see adolescents and adults, and I specialize in working with teens and young/emerging adults. I have a lot of experience working with folks who are experiencing anxiety, self-harm, problems with eating/body image, identity exploration, and family/relationship concerns. I identify as queer, and I work from a harm reduction, sex positive, trans-allied, feminist, fat acceptance/HAES lens.

As a mental health practitioner, I intentionally prioritize creating a safe environment to process your past and present challenges. I am passionate about empowering individuals, partners, and families to realize their true strength within themselves at their own pace. We all are a part of differing systems that affect our overall well-being. As your therapist, it is my role to support you in deciding how you want to show up and participate in those systems in a healthier way.

Currently accepting new clients. We are a team of dedicated therapists working to address mental health concerns through high-quality psychotherapy, in south Minneapolis and via telehealth.

While we work with a wide range of concerns, areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, identity exploration, grief/loss and self-esteem. We provide individual and couples therapy, and work with children (ages 7+), adolescents and adults.

I provide a non-judgmental space to honor our past, process our feelings, and look at relationship patterns to gain new understandings and sources of motivation. My practice is trauma informed and I value the importance of recognizing systemic realties that affect our mental health and lived experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a genuine, calm, and warm environment to contain our work.

Now accepting new clients! I believe the road to healing begins with a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, trust, and unconditional positive regard. Using person centered approaches, I guide clients towards exploring strengths and values to help frame their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that focuses on their proven resilience and empowers clients to live their most authentic lives. My greatest reward as a therapist is witnessing the courage and vulnerability clients demonstrate in taking steps to transform their lives by using healthy coping mechanisms, new forms of communication, and CBT skills.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (21952) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (303042). I work from a trauma aware, person centered, sex positive and harm reduction based perspective. I am queer identified and use she, her and hers pronouns. If you've found my profile, welcome and I look forward to learning more about you. Most of my experience is in working with people with a history of traumatic experiences, people who want to discuss/potentially make changes to their substance use, LGBTQIA + people and people living with or impacted by HIV.
