Adults Therapists in Wayzata, MN

I believe that the key to a successful therapeutic experience is the strength and quality of the relationship between the client and the therapist. Building trust and rapport is where we start. My experience as a psychotherapist has affirmed my belief that each of us has a great capacity to change and grow. I specialize in working with clients to process emotional pain that has resulted from different stressors that occur through the life cycle. Developing one's emotional awareness can result in more intimate, loving relationships.

I am licensed in both Mental Health and Addiction Counseling specializing in helping individuals and families who struggle with mental health and/or addiction issues. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress from relationships, parenting, work, significant loss, or struggling with addiction or recovery, I can help. My style is to provide you with a supportive, confidential, non-judgmental space regardless of the issues, and help you discover your strengths to find meaningful solutions. I currently meet with clients both in person and via Telehealth.

It is my goal to always maintain a non-judgemental, compassionate and safe place for clients to experience therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to help those who want to work toward a life and relationships that are worthwhile. My purpose as your therapist is to guide you towards realizing the goals you set forth for therapy. I will use my years of experience and continuous training to make sure we are using the most effective therapy specifically for your needs. We will work at a pace that is right for you.

Life is not always easy. Add in a global pandemic, community uprise, and our ongoing political environment, and some days it feels impossible. I get it, and want to be a source of reprieve. My goal is to help you create a better relationship with yourself whereby creating better relationships in the rest of your life. I believe that all of us need a person to talk to that has no bias or judgement in regards to what we are facing. I want to 'dig deep' so to speak and get to the root of what is stopping you from living your best life.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are interested in improving the quality of their daily life. Often this works includes attention to anxiety and/or depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions. My work is thoughtfully designed for each client and situation. Some clients choose to work on one specific challenge at a time, on an as-needed basis. Others take a broader approach and explore themes that have challenged them over a long period of time.

My area of expertise is in recovery from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. I believe that substance use is a biopsychosocial phenomenon. Substance use roots are in our biology, in our mind processes and in our relationships with others. My clients are the experts on themselves and I feel that on a journey together, using my clinical expertise, we can better align your behaviors with your values.

The world is a more complicated place to live. I think those seeking therapy are trying to make sense of a world in which the rules have changed. I am a seasoned therapist who has experienced life, is human and can teach without preaching. I believe clients want to feel better, want to make sense of their past, not be buried or defined by it.Clients deserve a therapist who can create a safe, non judgmental environment to explore. They deserve a therapist who can foster trust in themselves, who will push but with compassion and safety.

Having over 25 years of clinical experience, I provide professional and compassionate psychotherapy services to individuals and couples struggling with a wide range of challenges. Whole Wellness Psychology also offers medical trauma recovery and medical advocacy services for medical staff, parents, and survivors of medical trauma. I utilize a holistic view of clients, meaning I focus on whole mind and body wellness. Creating a partnership with my clients is primary before any meaningful work begins. I also offer DBT services, EMDR, a targeted trauma treatment, and am equally affirming to heterosexual and same sex couples.

Since 1990, I have worked with individuals, couples and groups using a number of modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, gestalt, guided imagery and family systems. My training has included EFT and EMDR. My approach to therapy is interactive using assignments to be completed between sessions. My work as a therapist is to teach, guide, reframe and open the client to options that he or she may not have been aware of. I am currently accepting new clients. You may contact me by phone: 612-803-2533 or email: pjmact2178@gmail.com.

My approach to therapy utilizes a holistic approach with an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective, incorporating mind, body, and soul care. I have extensive experience in working with individuals and families who are affected by trauma. My goal in therapy is to create a relationship where I can help you learn more about your Self and the parts of you that exist in your life. Our work together will center on identifying challenges and facilitating healing and wholeness that is Self-led and unique to you.

I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and OCD, including Pure O. I am passionate about the specific type of CBT that I practice because it offers relief to patients who have been in other types of therapy for years without significant progress. My approach to treatment, known as Rumination-Focused ERP (Exposure with Response Prevention), is a time-limited, highly systematic, yet gentler approach to exposure.

I am passionate about making sure people know they don’t have to deal with all of life’s twists and turns on their own. Whether you’re experiencing a particularly stressful season or you’re looking to heal from something you’ve been carrying for a long time, I believe we can work through it together. I provide a non-judgmental, relaxed environment in which you can unpack what’s on your mind, explore unhelpful thought/behavior patterns, and grow in your confidence to challenge them.

I believe that most destructive beliefs and behaviors are rooted in the less than nurturing events we experience over the course of our life. Welcome to the human condition! Many of us can benefit from learning how to manage our human experience in healthier, constructive ways that promote growth and personal evolution. I believe in utilizing the brain's neuroplasticity and activating our innate capacity to heal to increase and strengthen positive, growth inspiring beliefs and behaviors.

I feel passionate about helping people with trauma, anxiety, and depression to feel happiness and joy again. Do you have nightmares and flashbacks? Do you struggle with worry, stress, and panic? Do you experience sadness and isolation? Or are you grieving a loved one? If so, let me help you. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work as a team to create a positive change. Mental health professionals, healthcare professionals, first responders, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and other first responders are welcome.

This is not how it’s supposed to be. Tuning out the pain works some days. Others, it is relentless, overwhelming. It can hurt to blink. Thank goodness there’s work. the kids. the dog. They give a reason to get out of bed – avoid the guilt. No one understands. Going along with my boss or partner seems so simple at the time - until it turns sour. Irritability comes out of nowhere. Snap! Then crash! At least social distancing makes isolating more acceptable. It’s all so exhausting. Like having the gas pedal and the brake to the floor, at the same time. ‘Coping’ and ‘managing’ are a joke. Is relief too much to ask?!
