Therapists in Saint Paul, MN

Our agency has Immediate Openings and we'd love to help you. I oversee a team of experienced therapists who are eager to support those who are struggling. I enjoy helping others find their inner strength to make lasting changes that bring them closer to the life they yearn for. I strive to make therapy a safe place to work through fears, self-doubt, hopelessness and anger, so that you can develop the skills and confidence needed to live authentically and engage in healthy relationships.

You are considering divorce and fear how it will affect your children. Or you're divorced and met someone and want to blend your families, but are worried about the difficulties that blending brings. These family transitions are full of significant challenges such as grief over the breakup of the family, confusion over stepparent roles and responsibilities, hostile co-parenting relationships, jealousy of ex-spouses or stepchildren, and more. You want happy and healthy relationships with partners, exes, children, and stepchildren. You hope for a sense of "we-ness" as a new family unit and crave peace and balance in the future.

I am a down-to-earth, solution-focused and collaborative counselor serving clients in the St. Paul area. If you are a person that seeks enriched understanding, enjoys reflection and desires an enhanced set of skills to manage distress, then we're probably a good fit. My only agenda is to support you in your goals and to make sure that your time in session feels helpful to you. I am a HAES-aware provider, an LGBTQIA affirming space, and an advocate of anti-racism. I strive to make my office space as safe as possible for all bodies and identities.

I enjoy working with kids 3 and older and adults struggling with a variety of issues. Common issues kids have who come to therapy are: developmental issues, barriers to emotional expression, behavioral or communication issues at school, transitions, parenting relationships, peer relationships and family changes. Adults come in to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress and trauma. My goal as a mental health therapist is to prioritize collaboration by providing guidance and support in a safe environment. I have been trained to do assessments for children 0-5 years old (DC 0-5 assessment).

As my profile states, I am unable to start with new clients at this time- Sometimes people miss that when they message me and I want to be clear! The people I enjoy working with most are the ones who aren't sure therapy is for them, or haven't had great experiences in the past. I get what it's like for therapy not to go well. Maybe they're nervous I'll side with their spouse. Maybe they're worried it'll be too much too fast. The best part of my job is discovering the unique stories of each person who comes into my office, then developing a relationship to support their progress towards a more comfortable, resilient way of living.

I believe in an empathic approach to therapy. It is important to me to meet clients where they are at, using a strengths-based and nonjudgmental approach. I draw from a variety of therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, illness management and recovery and dialectical behavioral therapy. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. I believe in providing a safe and welcoming environment that allows individuals to effectively manage their lives and reach their highest potential.

My clients can change anxiety, ADHD, autism, or pain with live heart and brain feedback called biofeedback or neurofeedback in online visits. Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults. It is proven to work as well as medication for anxiety, ADHD, and pain. I have years of experience as a therapist, and have taught clinicians at The University of MN Medical Center and elsewhere. Insurance covers this service. To schedule a 20 minute call, click here: https://neurotherapy.intakeq.com/booking

I work with adults of all races, cultures, and walks of life, and I am welcoming of those who identify as LGBTQ. As your therapist, it is my privilege to accompany you through some of life’s most difficult and beautiful seasons. I cultivate a compassionate, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where you will feel deeply heard and understood. Within this context, profound changes are possible.

Ideal clients are couples with relationship concerns, families with adolescence and parenting issues, individuals with life stress, and trauma survivors. These clients may struggle with communication, parenting, stress management, and emotional discomfort from past trauma. Their needs may include communication support in navigating the complex emotional aspects of divorce, conflict, parenting, stress management, and emotional healing. Ultimately, they want to feel heard, understood, and supported in their journey towards a more fulfilling and peaceful life. They seek support in navigating their challenges and achieving their goals.

I believe we all have the inner power and intuitive knowledge to change, but our intuition can get blocked when strong emotions or past events overwhelm us. Working to establish a partnership of genuineness, trust, and respect for this self-knowledge, I teach tools to calm anxieties, break through fears, renew hope, and increase self-understanding. Mindfulness, relaxation, and visual art techniques, as well as play therapy with children, are often part of this process.

I derive joy and meaning from helping people access their brilliant capacities for healing. My specialties are couples therapy, anxiety/OCD, chronic illness, recovery from relationship abuse, and adjustment through other changes. Each of these concerns involve journeys of re-becoming, and I help clients along these journeys with compassion, honesty, and intelligence. Even in the midst of distress and doubt, the possibilities for the journey hold so much hope.

Are you frustrated and irritable at work? Do you sometimes have trouble containing your anger? Are you worried about whether you're good enough? If so, I'd like to talk with you. Together, we'll change your way of thinking so that you can learn to reduce anxiety and depression, recognize and manage your anger, reduce job-related stress and develop confidence and trust in yourself. In a personal and compassionate setting, you will learn to live from your true strengths, recognize and manage your symptoms, and gain self-acceptance as you clarify, respect and find your own voice.

I especially enjoy working with motivated clients wanting to develop a greater understanding of where they have come from and heal from their past traumas. Those struggling with a dysregulated nervous system, anxious, or simply stuck are a delight for me to walk along side. I have a strong passion for working with individuals/couples who have endured difficult experiences in their younger years and need some help with healing. Highly relational and compassionate, I prioritize relationship and trauma interventions in the midst of healing wounds.

I received my masters in social work from the University of St. Thomas and have spent my career working with youth and adolescent clients. Using an individualized approach, I work with clients with a variety of developmental disabilities and severe and persistent mental illnesses. This includes Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood disorders, and impulse control disorders.

Immediate Openings for general mental health therapy and/or substance use counseling. My area of expertise is in recovery from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. I believe the reasons for substance use reside in our biological makeup, in our mind processes and in our relationships with others. You are the expert on yourself and I feel that on a journey together, using my clinical expertise, we can better align your behaviors with your values.

Letting a therapist in on the difficulty in your life can be so vulnerable and scary. I strive to create a safe place for couples and individuals to explore themselves and their relationships, and to find a new way of being that feels deeply authentic and connected. My therapeutic approach is to be collaborative, sensitive, sometimes silly, and always genuine.

I feel privileged to help guide clients on a journey toward living more fulfilling lives. Whether client's struggle with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism or an eating disorder, my therapeutic style is to take a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach in our work together. I strive to meet clients wherever they are, and help them move towards where they want to be based on their own goals and values. I believe connection, collaboration and humor are essential qualities to fostering a trusting and warm therapeutic environment where I will encourage vulnerability and risk taking to help client's move towards what is important to them.
