Therapists for Teens in Robbinsdale, MN
You are worthy. I believe you are created on purpose and with a purpose. All too often, the environment and people around us highlight all that is wrong with us and/or our situation. Sometimes, that can lead to feeling as if we are not enough or broken. These feelings and experiences can contribute to mental health struggles. I get it because I have been there…life is straight up hard sometimes. However, there is hope! There is a world that exists in which we as individuals can recognize and accept our flaws, while acknowledging we are still awesome in spite of these flaws.

Life is messy. Relationships can be challenging, family can be overwhelming, demands of daily obligations can drain, or sometimes the path forward may feel uncertain. Therapy can be a way to clarify your situation and restore a sense of control. As your therapist, my role is to make you feel safe, heard, and challenged as needed. Every person is capable, they may just need to learn more effective skills to reach their goals and break free from past cycles. “You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself” – Glinda

Learning about ourselves is a lifelong process. We tend to think that we are steadfast beings, stuck in our ways. I believe that we are all capable of connecting deeper with ourselves and the world around us through curiosity, creativity, and relationship-building. Therapy hopefully becomes a place where you learn to care for and integrate each part of yourself as you navigate the complex dialectics of life: fear and courage, acceptance and change, beauty and pain. Contradictions are uncomfortable, but must co-exist. “I still don’t understand the play…” “It doesn’t matter, just keep telling the story” - Wes Anderson, Asteroid City

Life is hard, and we don't have to go it alone. I have many tools to help you reach your goals.

I love working with clients who are open and willing to give things a try, even if they are scary.

If you feel stuck, caught between who you’ve been and who you long to become, I want you to know you’re not alone. Maybe you’re tired of carrying the weight of anxiety, strained relationships, self-doubt, or feeling spiritually disconnected. You might be holding things together on the outside, but inside, you’re weary and craving peace. You don’t just want to cope, you want something deeper. You want healing that goes beyond behavior change, a transformation that reaches the heart. If that’s where you find yourself, I’d be honored to walk with you as you rediscover clarity, peace, and purpose.

My focus in practice is to provide therapy services to individuals and couples who experience life in ways that may differ from societal expectations. I offer affirming, friendly, non-judgemental therapy to neurodivergent folks and those who belong to the LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous communities. I recognize that these populations are frequently underserved in our society and want to provide a safe, welcoming space for clients to share and process their experiences on their terms. You matter and you deserve to be seen exactly as you are.

So often in life we think the key to finding happiness exists in something outside of ourselves. We change jobs, partners, friends and cities only to find ourselves exactly as we were, living with the same problems and patterns, and ultimately in the same self-imposed prisons. As children, we intuitively develop adaptive solutions to maladaptive situations that enable us to protect our hearts and minds. Unbeknownst to our consciousness, these self-deceptions no longer protect us, but in fact compromise our capacity for growth.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
