Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

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.

I believe that improving your relationship with yourself improves everything. Self-work can be some of the most difficult work to engage in, but together we can make it some of the most rewarding work that you’ve ever done. Interpersonal relationships, mental health concerns, work life, all of these and more can make us feel confused about who we are, where we fit in and how to move forward. My focus is in helping individuals and couples navigate difficult feelings, identify and change dysfunctional thoughts and patterns, and overcome challenging situations in order to enjoy a life that they deserve.

Clients come to Mosaic Psychological Assessment, to find answers to a broad range of questions, such as what diagnosis makes sense for them (e.g., ADHD, Depression, etc.) to questions about what is making them feel stuck in their forward progress in life, in therapy, in relationships, at work, or in school. What does the mosaic of your life look like? What are each of the small tiles that add up to the picture of who you are now? What would you like to change?

Albert Einstein remarked, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving”. At various times in our life we find ourselves challenged to do just that as we struggle to make it through the day. Using a strengths-based perspective, I will collaborate with you to understand and confront your unique challenges and empower you to find the inner strength and resources to facilitate positive healing change so you can keep moving forward. I firmly believe that while change is inevitable, being paralyzed by change is not and you have the power to construct your own unique pathway to optimal health and wellness.

Hello, my name is Mary Bauer. I am Psychotherapist and Licensed Substance Use Professional who has been in the business for about 20 years. I specialize in depression, stress/anxiety, anger, alcohol and/or drug problems, individual, family, child/teen problems, and couple problems, or just feeling lonely. I have immediate openings in telehealth therapy and will do face to face as needed in Fridley where office is located. I take insurance and private pay. I would love to help you with your struggles.

Please note: I currently have a 6-8 month wait for new clients. The world may be telling you that you are not enough, that you need to change in order to fit in. Sometimes that pressure to fit neatly into a particular box is more than you feel you can overcome on your own. That is where therapy can help. My practice is greatly informed by Anna Quindlen's quote: "The thing that is really hard and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself". You do not need to change to meet the world's expectations, you are already perfect as you are and I want to help you believe that.

Feeling overwhelmed with day to day responsibilities, or certain relationships in your life? Feeling unsure about what's next or what you should be doing? Are you experiencing difficulties with your partner? Do you feel if you talk to friends or family you will be judged or dismissed all together? Have you had a traumatic experience/s and tucked it away in the back of your mind? Navigating life's hardships can be a lonely and somewhat scary task; however you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to help you move past the fear and doubt, and take hold of the clarity and peace that so rightfully belongs to you.

Waitlist is closed. I currently offer Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy, a modality using cannabis and low-dose ketamine (Please check out psychedelicsomatic.org BEFORE contacting me). I am not currently offering more traditional non-medicine assisted therapies to new clients.

We all encounter times in life where we are unexpectedly thrown off balance. Maybe you have recently suffered a jarring or traumatic event, or are going through a transition that feels more difficult than you had imagined. Or maybe past traumas or hurts have come roaring to the surface, impacting the way you relate to your spouse, your children, friends or family. Therapy offers a connected space in which you can develop awareness and insight into the relationship between past and present, gain resources for regulating stress and other overwhelming feelings, and weave new patterns of relating to yourself and the people you love.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they journey through life's circumstances. Whether the journey involves a relationship with a family member, a partner, or even the relationship you have with yourself; I am passionate about helping you find fulfillment in life through the quality of your relationships. I believe that healthy relationships offer people more freedom.

A strong therapeutic relationship can support your goals to improve relationships, learn to be regulated and live a more fulfilled life. I do this by encouraging open communication and healthy boundaries, providing psychoeducational support, processing emotional issues and trauma and teaching the art and science of mindfulness. I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults who may be experiencing behavioral and emotional issues, depression, anxiety, trauma and relational issues. I will bring intensity and humor to the dynamic therapeutic relationship. Relationships are important, perhaps more now than ever!

Whether you are struggling with self-esteem, weight loss/gain, low mood, anxiety, food, relationships, or questioning your place in life, I can help. It is easy to find yourself keeping up on appearances; not only trying to look your best physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Learning how to balance what you need/want and what the world is asking of you is possible and will create space for you to grow into a more authentic you.
