Therapists in Olmsted County, MN

I focus on working with children as young as 3 years old through Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Additionally, I have been trained in Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an approach utilized in children age 3-18 years old that have experienced a traumatic event or complex trauma. I also work with all age groups regarding depression and other mood issues. I have experience in utilizing exposure therapy with children and adolescents to combat anxiety.

It’s been a long time coming, but you’ve finally had enough. You know you’re making the right decision by ending this marriage, so why are things so difficult? Now, you wake up each morning with a pit in your stomach and crawl into bed, exhausted at the end of each day. You’re overwhelmed by the financial, emotional, and pragmatic logistics of dismantling years of shared goals and dreams. You're scared of how you'll manage and worried about the effect on the kids. It’s so excruciatingly painful and lonely to think about that sometimes it seems better to stay stuck and unhappy. But deep down, you know you can't keep going this way.

Through the counseling process, I emphasize cultivating a trusting and safe environment and therapeutic relationship to help process and manage intense emotions and life transitions. I utilize integrative, culturally sensitive, body-centered, and trauma-informed approaches. I have experience with adolescents, adults, LGBTQIA+.

People typically come to therapy when life feels tough. Whether it be trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, or the like, my goal is to help you move through the toughness, heal, and feel back on track with your life. We will work together to identify ways to cope with life's challenges. My job is to meet you where you are at, and help you harness your inner strengths with me teaching you a few things along the way.

I received my masters in clinical mental health counseling in 2021, but have been providing counseling services since 2014. I am fully licensed as an LADC and LPCC to provide both mental health and substance use therapies. I enjoy working with a variety of clients and focus on showing up authentically in the work we do together. My goal is to provide an open and comfortable space for you to explore your experiences, and help you identify ways to move through and forward in life. I value identity and hope to help each of my clients feel solid in who they are and how they are living that out.

I help individuals embrace life again through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My goal is to empower individuals to make small change which can lead to big results. Imagine feeling that weight fall off your shoulders. It can happen!

Hello and welcome! Are you experiencing challenges with sex or sexuality? Perhaps a loss of sexual desire is getting in the way of your relationship with your partner. Are you frustrated that your body isn't responding the way it used to? Maybe you are a poly person seeking support around relationships and sex. Other challenges may include painful sex, erectile issues, guilt, shame, and avoidance, or life transitions such as after baby, in the menopausal years, or in the aftermath of a health condition such as cancer. Therapy is LGBTQ+, polyamory, and kink affirming.

I believe we all have changes that can be made to live better. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back now is the time to take the steps to make those changes. Many aspects of life can be challenging, especially over these last years. Therapy can be important in understanding what areas need adjustment, ways to make lasting change, and to have someone along who wants to support you through it all.

When you feel stuck, it helps to share your story.

Hello! I'm Kara Pederson, LICSW, a licensed therapist providing online psychotherapy to adolescents & adults. I specialize in working with clients struggling with ADHD, trauma related disorders, & anxiety/depression. I am currently completing the requirements to obtain my ADHD-CCSP (ADHD Specialist Certification) & hope to use this additional knowledge to provide a unique approach to helping clients using a combination of therapeutic approaches & daily life management skills.

I strive to meet my clients where they are in life and assist them in accomplishing their own goals.

My focus in my practice is to serve those individuals, couples, and families who live outside the confines of dominant society's expectations. I offer affirmative therapy for LGBTQIA+/kink/CNM/polyam/etc persons, using a largely solution-focused approach from an intersectional feminist lens. I know that these populations are underserved in current society, and my goal is for you to have the inclusive support you deserve to improve your life the way you want. I am also interested in sex-positive therapy and sex therapy, while still recognizing the validity of asexuality in its own spectrum.

Feeling too needy in your relationship? Are you always feeling a little out of control in your relationship? Feeling scared, anxious, or confused by your partner’s behavior? I know exactly what you're feeling: the tightness in your chest, constantly feeling like you’re losing the one you love and care about, feeling pushed away, feeling like a crazy person, and feeling like you need security and reassurance NOW. These feelings can be consuming and terrifying, and I do not want you to suffer from them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce feelings of neediness, anxiety, and depression tremendously.

My approach to the therapeutic space is through a validating, supportive, holistic framework to explore the challenges, concerns, and questions that arise in your journey. There are many broken and harmful systems in place that impact your well-being. Difficulties with your mental wellness are not inherently parts of you that are broken or wrong. Let’s explore where we can make changes in your life to enhance your mental well-being and bring more harmony and meaning to you.

We sometimes get to a point in life where we need to reset or just need to make some changes. Life can be chaotic and we need some help making sense of it all. I provide a safe and calm atmosphere to be heard, be real, and be understood. I am passionate about helping people navigate the many expected and unexpected events in their lives and helping you grow as a person. I view every client as unique therefore therapy is individualized to your individual needs in order to achieve emotional health and well-being.

I've worked with individuals & families via CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)/trauma focused therapy, family systems therapy, & play therapy for a variety of issues such as MH & addiction since 1998. I adjust/integrate therapeutic modalities holistically based on needs. I am respectful, laid back and humorous during tough work. I'm supportive & I encourage/challenge you to grow. It is difficult to change while health & wellness may require changes. I may use “tough love” while I am understanding and collaborative. Recovery/health requires action, growth, maturity, & accountability.
