Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Feeling down lately, unable to cope, overwhelmed and nothing seems to lift your spirits? Does stress, anxiety or excessive worry affect your daily routine and your relationships? It might be time to seek help from a licensed professional. Together we concentrate on how you are currently feeling emotionally and physically, how your thoughts and feelings are affecting your relationships and your daily life. We will focus on how we can work together to lift your spirits and help you cope with the challenges that come your way.

I strive to create a collaborative therapy in which patients feel safe to explore and reflect. I help patients identify ways in which they relate to others that at one time may have been self-protective but now are causing conflicts or feelings of aloneness. As an AEDP therapist I have skill in focusing on the body and emotions, and helping you access new and healing experiences within yourself. You will leave therapy with renewed inner resources, confidence, and a zest for life.

Life brings challenges for us all! I offer a person-centered therapeutic experience that is deliberate, supportive, and empowers you to change and grow in intentional and meaningful ways. Change happens when we become aware of and act upon patterns in our lives that limit us. I will support you in pursuing satisfying relationships, work, and overcoming obstacles and difficulties. We will work through grief, loss, inner conflicts, life challenges and difficulty in relationships. Changing our lives takes courage and unfolds in the context of a nourishing and accepting environment where one can explore new possibilities for their life.

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better and I appreciate you taking these first, courageous steps towards seeking support. I have a long held passion for community mental health and have worked in human services most of my life. More recently, I graduated with my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Minnesota and have now been working with Mindpath College Health for several years, an experience which has deepened my interest in the mental health of college students and the period of young adulthood.

I will combine my compassion, openness, and attentiveness with my 29+ years of experience and knowledge to help you become more of the person you want to be. Address low motivation, trauma, codependency, self-criticism, anxiety, imposter syndrome. Improve mindfulness and life-work balance. I offer a space where oppression and injustice are understood as having a direct correlation to our health and well-being. A relaxed confidential space where you are welcome to be your whole self.

I’m Eric Murtha, an integrative psychotherapist, licensed to practice in Minnesota. During my years in practice, I have developed an understanding and appreciation of the uniqueness of each individual and family that I have helped. I believe that we all develop patterns regarding how we think, deal with emotions, and relate to the people in our lives. Often these patterns have served us in the past. However, during times of stress, loss, or traumatic experience, these patterns may be unhelpful, and we can feel stuck. This is when therapy can make a big difference in feeling better and help us live more effectively.

You're feeling stuck in a pattern that isn't working anymore, struggling at work or in your relationships, having difficulty reaching a meaningful goal, or are working to find direction or purpose in your life. After a series of challenges, you may notice that your old coping strategies are not working in the ways you expect, and you are interested in a new perspective and tools. My clients seek and discover new understanding of themselves, their emotional reactions, and their values through the process of therapy. Many of my clients also seek out support to alleviate trauma symptoms using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Life is difficult. Feeling better is possible. We all have the right and the ability to feel some peace and acceptance about our lives; the things we can control and the things we can not. We may often believe the negative thoughts we have (that we often make up) and act accordingly. You can change your life, your outlook and the way you think and feel about yourself and your relationships. I believe changes and growth occur when an individual is able to challenge their thoughts, examine their perspectives and learn how to be true to themselves.

There is tremendous freedom in letting go and liberating yourself from things that create blockages and discontent in your life. Now is the time to look within yourself for increased happiness and joy! My goal when I work with clients is to promote love, connection and harmony both on an individual level and in your relationships with others. I help women recover and heal from narcissistic relationships that they have left. I also support all my clients in joyfully healing from anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship issues utilizing holistic healing modalities to address every angle of your spirit.

Life, am I right? We can't do it alone. I work with people just like you; People seeking support to find their voice, set better boundaries, have compassion for themselves, heal trauma, or challenge self defeating patterns. I have extensive experience (12+ years) working with a variety of concerns ranging from life phases, self esteem, anxiety, depression to PTSD, Interpersonal Violence and sexual violence. My goal in therapy is to create a safe, collaborative space, where we can work together to address ALL parts of self - allowing you to feel more whole and in control of your own life/emotions and relationships.

Whether you are entering therapy with a clear vision of what you are looking for or are more uncertain of your goals, I will work with you to come up with strategies for growth and the development of optimal emotional health and functioning. I believe that healing occurs through the process of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. By creating a safe and confidential environment I will help you to better understand patterns (which are often outside of your awareness) that lead to emotional distress. Recognition of these patterns empowers you to make choices that can lead to life long change.

My intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment within the therapeutic relationship. My philosophy is strengths-based and holistic: I believe people have the capacity for resilience, creativity and resourcefulness. My role is to help my clients get to that place of knowing this for themselves so they can move forward in their lives and thrive. I am trained in mindfulness -based-stress reduction, and I am a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has worked with a wide range of people on stress release, weight, exercise and nutrition. I am also a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker.

Sometimes in life we can feel like we have no control over what is happening, the paths our relationships are taking, or what the future might have in store for us. We can get to a place where we are stuck in a continuous cycle of negative thinking, gloomy feelings, and ineffective behaviors. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, relationship changes/separation, substance use issues, stress management, academic challenges, sports/performance concerns, chronic illness, sexuality/gender identity issues, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum, and life balance.

Self-exploration with a compassionate, curiously-engaged presence is a powerful experience which results in deep, lasting change. Often times, our experience of the world and ourselves can feel vaguely yet urgently unsatisfying. Sometimes we unconsciously live in a reality which no longer feels like it "fits", but we know therapy is about opening up to see yourself and the world in a new, more boundless way. Confusion is a great step towards new growth, and we can work together to help you experience life more fully. (For efficient scheduling purposes, please email rather than call)

Many people struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety or insomnia. Others have difficulty in relationships, are dissatisfied with work or face serious health challenges. And many others struggle to adapt to life changes, or simply feel discouraged or unhappy. I work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them and use evidence-based approaches to improve those problems. I believe that developing a strong relationship with my clients provides the essential base from which sustainable change can be achieved. I am PsyPact certified and can practice telepsychology in those states.

I enjoy helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, or stress related to their careers, relationships, or other areas of development. I have specialized training in a variety of evidence-based practices including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness . My goal is to help you make changes that increase the quality of your life within an affirming and validating environment with respect to sexuality, gender identity, religion, race, and all aspects of culture.

Therapy is a relational dynamic process. I create a nurturing, compassionate safe space to honor your process of change.

Working with me, you will gain insight into your emotional world, understand how you work, learn what gives you comfort and contentment during difficult times, develop new coping skills to help during times of anxiety/depression, and make changes in your life so you can live more fully. fedorowicz-therapy.com
