Therapists in Payne Phallen, Saint Paul, MN

When Henry Thoreau gazed at the summer tree and said that “the tenderest fruit needs the tenderest handling,” as a therapist, I believe it's equally true to our mind and our experiences. The problem is the problem, and the person is not the problem. My role as the therapist is to create a safe and intentional space for you and to lean into the inner strength that may be shadowed by past wounds, present stress, or the hopelessness of the future. I work with individuals who are struggling with past traumas, cultural or racial identities, and adjustment issues.

I work with individuals of color looking for help with ethnic/racial identity, racial trauma, chemical health, and GLBTQ persons. Racism, oppression, gender, sexuality, class, and poverty can have a significant impact on our well-being and physical and mental health. Sometimes, these experiences or life situations can lead us to reach conclusions about ourselves that keep us from living our best life. I create space in which we nurture your inner wisdom to help you grow and heal. I can also help you with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, Substance Use Disorders, homelessness, trauma, loss, health, and sexuality.

Jenni McBride McNamara, LMFT: Have you ever thought, "My ex or spouse or partner or parent or friend is driving me crazy! I can't handle this anymore!"? If so, you've come to the right place. Dealing with high-conflict personalities can be exhausting, depressing, and worrisome, but seeing a therapist with experience can make a huge difference. A therapeutic relationship with someone who understands can be the catalyst for positive, sometimes unanticipated, change. You don't have to be stuck, endure, or suffer forever. You can find your inspired self and be free of the stress of a high conflict relationship.
