Sex Therapists in Saint Paul, MN
Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both for restoration and healing.

I have been working as a sexuality education teacher for over 6 years, teaching all ages from middle school students to older adults.
Hey there, my name is Alyssa and I use she/they pronouns. I am a queer, neurodivergent associate marriage and family therapist. My specialty is with families and teens/adolescents. I am currently taking family clients between teens/parents, single adults, and middle schoolers-young adults.

Beyond my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Sex Therapy (AACECT), Brainspotting, and I'm a Prepare Enrich Certified Facilitator.
No matter who you are or what you’re currently struggling with, one thing is for sure: Your life (and your happiness) is deeply influenced by your relationships with other people. By things that happened in the past, yes. And also the dynamics and patterns that are playing out today. Do you feel frustrated and powerless about how others are acting or the ways their behavior is impacting you? Or perhaps stuck in your own misery and muck. No matter what the situation, you have far more choices and control than you think.

I use a holistic approach to treatment emphasizing on rapport building. "There is a reason for all behavior and when it comes to people seeking true wellness, I don't want people to depend on medication." I enjoy helping people change and explore themselves. "The scarecrow, in the movie The Wiz, thought that he did not have a brain. He believed that he was just a sack of old newspapers; but, it took the experience of a "journey" to help him realize that he was not just a sack of newspapers but a wealth of information. "Lets find your wealth!"

Welcome! My name is Lisa Gray. I love my work and I'm biased towards the idea of therapy for everyone all the time, but let's begin by talking about how things end: We'll know our work is done when you feel confident that you can navigate your emotional seasons with the insight and strategies we develop together. You should feel increased peace and satisfaction in your relationship with yourself and the people around you, your energy for daily life, and your preparedness to weather future storms. With that in mind, dream big: What would your life be like without the weight of certain thoughts, emotions, or patterns of behavior?
