I focus on helping you find a deeper and more positive sense of yourself. Together we explore your feelings, thought patterns, dreams, and attitudes to gain understanding about current problems and concerns. This work can positively transform the perspectives and behaviors that affect where you are feeling stuck, such as with relationship issues, or having symptoms of depression and anxiety, or problems with anger, substance abuse, career and work concerns, struggles with past abuse or trauma, facing acute or chronic health issues, or working through the process of aging.
Stuart A Potter
Dipl, Analyst
I do analytic work in accord with training of the C. G. Jung Institut, Zurich. There is special attention to dreams, creativity, and attention to the unconscious. Depth psychology takes time, and people work diligently. In the process the whole personality is engaged. Jungian psychology is forward looking and may elucidate the way through difficult transition. I work for a reduced fee, in lieu of insurance payment. This is an opportunity to do Jungian Analysis at an affordable cost. I appreciate work with individuals that have done therapy, gained psychological understanding, and would like to go futher into depth psychology.
LaShawn Goss-Love
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, RPT
Verified
For me, it’s all about relationships and community. Parents and their children - kids and their parents, and their siblings. People and coworkers, and neighbors, and folks from church, and everybody else they interact with on a frequent basis. These relationships help us get by when things are challenging - and when these relationships become challenging they can throw everything off balance.

Using a holistic approach to wellness, we will assess all areas of your life - mind, body, heart, spirit - and determine if these feel integrated and fulfilling and reflect your true nature. While exploring, honoring, and releasing patterns that no longer serve and treating any unresolved trauma, you will naturally reconnect with your true self and life will begin to unfold in the most beautiful ways.

Patricia Ann Lucas
Counselor, PhD, R-DMT, LPCC
Verified
It is my experience that the fullest, most satisfying healing involves our whole person, mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on patterns of movement in the body as well as thinking, we work together to achieve your goals for therapy. A body based and energetic focus is often a new and effective way for people to resolve issues that only talking about them did not reach. I look for resistance and protective actions that no longer serve a person. I emphasize developing aliveness in the body, feeling joyful, free, and peace.

Sandplay Therapists
Sandplay therapy in Minneapolis establishes a safe and protected space, where the complexities of the client's inner world can be explored. Often young children, clients place miniature figurines in a small sandbox to express confusing feelings and inner experiences. This creates a visual representation of the client's thoughts and feelings and can reveal unconscious concerns that are inaccessible. The therapist does not interpret, interfere with, or direct the client's sand play but maintains an attitude of receptivity and acceptance, so the client can bring unconscious material into consciousness without censure.
