Relationship Issues Therapists in Merrlam Park, Saint Paul, MN

I have been in private practice since 1991 and have previously worked in medical, rehabilitation, college counseling, and community mental health settings. I know that asking for help is not easy. Trusting someone you don't know with very personal information requires a leap of faith. Understandably, you may want to know what to expect, should you decide to work with me. Initially, I will work to identify the particular issues that you want to address and then collaborate with you to develop goals and strategies. Throughout the process, I will listen carefully, drawing out particular material for discussion and presenting new information to help you see yourself and your choices with a new perspective. I will suggest possible courses of action, recognizing that only you can decide whether to follow any suggestions that come from the counseling process.

I have a warm and compassionate, client-centered approach. I believe that we all have the natural tendency to grow and heal, given the right conditions. My goal is to be a steadying, nonjudgmental presence alongside you in your healing journey. I will first focus on fostering emotional safety and trust. I will then support you to develop or deepen self acceptance, reach identified goals, and to live authentically. We will learn from interactions in our work together, as the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful base for change. Ultimately, you will find ways to better navigate your life.

Welcome! I’m Elliot, a licensed therapist and owner of Inner Space Therapy, LLC (www.innerspacetherapyllc.com). I work primarily with young adults and adults with concerns related to anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationships, sexuality/gender, disordered eating, substance use, spirituality, and existential concerns. I have a fondness for working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse folks, and enjoy exploring how our early relational experiences shape the way we show up with ourselves and others. I infuse my client interactions with compassion, empathy, and humor, while supporting clients as they work towards their goals.

I've been counseling men and couples for over 40 years. My specialties are men with compulsive/addictive sexual behaviors, unresolved childhood abuse/trauma/neglect, anxiety/depression, relationship problems and intimacy issues. I also do couple's therapy teaching and helping couples in good communication and conflict management and how to heal from infidelity. Cornerstone has 5 outpatient treatment groups for men with sexual addiction. We also have very skilled therapist who treat childhood trauma and neglect with very highly regarded therapeutic methods and approaches including EMDR, Sensorimotor and Pesso Psychomotor Therapy.

Have you tried therapy before just haven't "clicked" with the provider or felt like you don't get anywhere new? Many of my clients describe past experiences the same way. Therapy can be different. I have a gentle yet straight-forward approach that allows us focus on what is not working for you in your life. Whether you are going through a big life transition, relationship difficulties, divorce, parenting issues, or just not happy with life; therapy can help. Together, we ill work to find new ways to cope and adjust to the challenges of life.

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma, perinatal mental health, and attachment issues. I work with acute and complex traumas, with the understanding trauma is truly in the eye of the beholder. Trauma can be overwhelming. We can find ourselves stuck in the same patterns. Sometimes we may even feel trapped in our own bodies or frozen in fear. Bad memories can refuse to shrink or fade. You may find yourself coping in ways that just make things worse. I have worked with individuals who have childhood abuse/neglect, sexual assault, medical trauma, trauma from being a first responder, and traumatic loss.

I believe that healing is possible regardless of whatever obstacles you have previously faced and that everyone deserves to live the life they truly want. Clients say that working with me is like having a personal cheerleader in their pocket, someone who sees the best in them. My sessions are supportive, warm, friendly, validating, and empowering. I believe that good therapy will be impactful on your healing journey. Helping people heal is my passion and calling. I also strive to create a judgment-free space so you can fully and authentically express yourself in sessions. I also speak Spanish.

I knew at a young age that I wanted to work with people because I find joy in helping individuals get through difficult times. I have worked with individuals with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) for over 7 years and have found a passion for working with individuals specifically with addiction, trauma, relationship, sexuality, anxiety and depression concerns. Our goal together is to help you become more confident, independent and to find relief from your current challenges.

I work with people who want better relationships with others and better relationships with themselves. Couples, families, and individuals I see are bright, curious, motivated people who find their lives disrupted somehow - by the intrusion of traumatic experiences, life transitions, or persistent struggles with mental health that don't resolve on their own. I have a deep understanding of the unique therapy needs of therapists and doctors and their partners and families, and I enjoy working with folks anywhere on the gender and sexuality spectra. I also work with torture and war trauma survivors, refugees, and asylum seekers.

It is important to feel seen and cared about in therapy; as we learn to take in this care, great healing can take place. When you are struggling with difficult life issues, it can be difficult to go it alone. I am here to provide support as you move through it. I work with individuals and couples in areas including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions and stress management. As someone who has personally engaged in mindfulness practices such as meditation, qigong and yoga for 20+ years, I bring a strong presence and compassion to my work with clients.

I work with couples who have been feeling stuck in the same patterns, disconnected from each other, and have difficulty communicating. Together, we will work towards creating a more fulfilling and attuned relationship. I also work with individuals who are looking for relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, or are searching for ways to cope with challenging life transitions.

Are you anxious with shortness of breath, racing heart, and feeling like the walls are closing in? Anxiety is not your fault or caused by anything you have or haven’t done. Are you in the midst of relationship problems and do not know what direction to turn? Whether addressing small issues or potential relationship-breaking challenges, therapy can help. Does sadness have you distressed, depressed, and hopeless? There are proven steps and skills that have been shown to result in remarkable relief. I am passionate about providing quality service. It is my overall goal to empower growth and change.

Hi! My name is Huda and I am based in Minneapolis, MN. I offer both Telehealth and in-person services. I am passionate about working with teenagers and adults who are navigating growth and change in their lives. My goal is to provide a respectful, genuine, safe, and accepting space in order to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe the client is the expert in their life’s story. I am honored and excited  to partner together in order to create a space to slow down, explore, challenge, and move to a space of balance.

We are all on a unique life journey! I am passionate about helping others thrive, not just survive, on their journey. I am especially passionate about healthy relationships with a special interest in family of origin issues, pre-marriage counseling, divorce, remarriage, blended families, and codependency issues. I also specialize in grief counseling, life transitions, career development, and spiritual concerns. I work with individual adults and couples using a systemic, strengths-based, integrative approach.

I help couples, individuals and employees who want change to start today! Relationships go through ups and downs as does our work satisfaction, and our personal wellness can make a difference. If you want renewed hope and a better feeling in all your relationships and endeavors, I can help you regain everything you need to be happy again. You're not alone. You can recognize the source of your happiness, realign and get back on track. Rekindle your good feelings, enjoy life, and experience relationship success and personal satisfaction at home and work.

I seek to create a therapeutic space that is validating towards my clients’ identities and lived experiences. I believe both the client and counselor have expertise and insight to bring to the collaborative therapeutic relationship. Together, we can curiously explore feelings, thoughts, identity, life events, meaning, and stressors as I believe increased self-awareness is key in addressing deeply-rooted anxieties and tensions and distressing thoughts and emotions.

I come to the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and openness so clients feel at ease. I believe in the power of acknowledging the challenges everyone faces and seeing the inherent strengths each individual possesses. I strive to both validate what is being experienced as well as be creative in supporting clients to build skills to live more from their centered self. It is my goal to support people through whatever they may be facing, help them build tools to feel more balanced, and be more empowered in their lives.

I believe that a trusting and supportive relationship is the basis for meaningful and effective therapy. Earning your trust is deeply important to me. I will work with you to develop tools and strategies to face challenges and to develop your strengths, self-understanding, personal growth, and healing.
