Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I have 20 years' combined experience working with culturally, ethnically and generationally diverse clients in therapy, chemical use, restorative justice, and counseling children and families in need. I'm dedicated to enthusiastic, respectful and dynamic interactions as a means of creating and nurturing community interest. As a psychotherapist and LADC, I've worked with adults, adolescents, and families from all walks of life. My goal is to foster well-being in individuals and families. I seek to eliminate the stigma of shame and guilt associated with mental health and substance use, which leads to understanding, respectful conversations that enable healing.

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.

I can help you sort out your questions and nourish your strengths.

You might seem fine on the outside, keeping busy and holding it together, but inside you feel anxious in relationships, stuck in old family patterns, or constantly playing roles you did not choose. Life changes, loss, or grief may have left you wondering who you are now. You want to understand why these patterns repeat, feel more grounded, and create relationships and a life that actually fit. If you are ready to explore this and show up differently, this is the place to do it.

My practice also has a human and artistic element - everyone is unique and our work together reflects this.

I offer therapy for a variety of mental health issues and have an extensive background in depth psychology and Jungian therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in deeply understanding themselves. In contrast to mainstream approaches to therapy, which focus on teaching skills or challenging a person's thinking, I emphasize working to understand the emotional-relational-spiritual roots of my client's psychology. It is at this deeper level that lasting change can occur.

The human experience can be a complex and confusing burden to exist within at times. We can lose confidence in trusting ourselves, in the choices we make, in understanding our thoughts and feelings, and while navigating all sorts of relationships. I know this all too well, and I am sure you can relate to some degree. I identify as a gay/queer cisgender male, as an addict/alcoholic in long-term recovery, and as a therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health profession. I would be honored to share space, listen, and provide guidance while you traverse your own life’s highs, lows, and everything in between.

I greatly enjoy working with adults (18+) who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community and/or folks navigating gender identity, perfectionism, life transitions, anxiety, and self-worth/self-compassion. I thrive when working with those who are motivated, curious, and who identify as deep thinkers and deep feelers. I also resonate deeply and work well with activists and community organizers.
The modalities I use the most include narrative therapy, self-compassion work, DBT, and ACT. I care deeply about social justice and bring an anti-oppressive, feminist, and queer lens to my work.

As a therapist, I am committed to being a source of unconditional positive regard, asking hard and important questions, offering observations to identify connections in experiences, exploring and challenging negative self-beliefs, offering tools and skills in the capacity desired, and celebrating the ups and the downs of the process. I believe human growth, change, and healing is most easily found when we allow ourselves the chance to be uncomfortable. I am a Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner and have found it to be an incredible tool for increasing healing with life’s big and small difficulties.

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong, or that feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection sometimes take over?

Accessibility, inclusion, and disability advocacy are central to my practice. For transparency, I’m accompanied by my mobility assistance service dog during in-person sessions as part of my own accessibility needs.

Satisfying relationships, personal fulfillment, and vocational flourishing are essential components to a joyful life.

As I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life, I take a flexible and curious approach to attend to my clients' specific needs in the therapy process. Ultimately, my goal as a therapist is to support you in caring for yourself more deeply and personally in all aspects of life.

Even the most well-adjusted of us encounter situations or experiences that require professional support. Sometimes the natural aging process or a personal crisis brings us to a place of seeking guidance. I consider it my unique privilege and honor to be part of my client's journey on their path to encountering their whole self. My therapeutic approach is founded in an existential understanding of the human condition.
