Therapists in Freeborn County, MN

I’m Dr. Tera Jansen, an AASECT certified sex therapist and psychologist. I provide individual and couples therapy across a variety of sexual health and gender concerns, as well as general mental health and relational issues. With over a decade of experience, I have developed a deep belief in our capacity for change and growth. At its most basic, my guiding goal in therapy is to aid others in finding, engaging with, and expressing their most authentic selves. Operating from a point of authenticity and self-truth can often create a clearer guide in navigating fears and hurts, making decisions, and building meaningful relationships.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW 23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. Connection, intimacy, desire, love, and joy are the things in life that enrich our human experience. When we struggle with these, life can feel very lonely. I believe that you have endless potential, but sometimes life can get in the way. My hope is to get some of the muck out of the way so you can be your best self on any given day.

Illuminate your path, Awaken your life! Who you are at your core matters and deserves to be seen by the world. I am driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of others and to positively impact the world. I actively seek to live a life guided by a sense of purpose and meaning. My goal is to help you do the same with a highly personalized approach that addresses your needs and meets your criteria for personal success. This includes finding and solidifying the essential relationships in your life! I also utilize the Enneagram in my practice as a way to help you have more generosity for yourself and other in your life.

Maybe you have a sense of what life could be like if you were truly expressing yourself without fear or shame. Maybe you haven’t even let yourself dream about what that could look like—just yet. Maybe there are barriers in the way and you don’t know how to navigate through them. This is where I can be of help. I work with creative folks to more fully embrace their identities and better understand how their past impacts their present moment. I focus on social identity development, (ie gender, sexuality, etc) and sex therapy through a trauma-informed lens. Let’s work together so that you can cultivate a life that celebrates you!

Relationships can be the most important things in our lives and they can also be our greatest struggles. Sex is another important topic-our own sexual selves as well as our sexual relationships with others. But we don't always have a lot of places to talk about these important issues. This is why I specialize in relationship and sex therapy. I am a Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I also offer online classes for couples and individuals at classes.laurarademacher.com.

I believe that everyone is the expert on themselves, but at times this expertise can be difficult to harness due to the curveballs life often throws our way. My approach is empathetic, flexible, non-judgmental with a dash of humor, and some occasional colorful language. I can also be very direct when needed. Utilizing both trauma-informed and attachment-based perspectives, I will collaborate with you on discovering that expertise. I am passionate about diversity and inclusion which allows me to honor the unique needs of everyone who grants me the privilege of joining them on their journey.

Hi there! Relationships can be hard work and sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you wade through and process what is currently happening! I would be honored to assist in communication issues, navigating through challenges, and exploring sex/ intimacy concerns! I will help you have those tough conversations, and realize your goals! I'll meet you where you're at and focus on what you want and need during our time together! I welcome clients from all walks of life and can't wait to help you individually or as a couple!

I work with people who want to show up in the world and be embraced for ALL of who they are. Most of us have things that we keep hidden from others around us - locked away because we are worried that we are broken, weird, fearful of how we will be judged. The problem is, even when we are great at hiding - these things slowly but surely permeate our lives from the inside out. Everyone around you thinks you've got it all together, but on the inside - you know something is off, and you're ready to figure it out and do something different. You're ready to be honest and curious and open and make a change - to find YOUR courageous truth.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of positive change in therapy. My practice is rooted in collaborative co-creation, where I work with individuals and couples who are eager to embark on a journey of growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we’ll shed patterns and coping strategies that no longer serve you and uncover fresh ways to nurture deeper connections with yourself and your partner. Within our sessions, you'll find a warm, calm, and nonjudgmental space to support your exploration.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Facing sexual challenges that seem insurmountable? I work with individuals and couples facing sexual and relationship issues. Therapy provides people an opportunity to learn about their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and to develop healthier skills for coping with difficulties and painful experiences. I work mostly with emotional and physical disconnection, parenting style conflicts, life transitions, loss of sex drive, and differing libidos. I am a Certified Sex Therapist by AASECT.

My commitment in therapy is to help people live their fully authentic life - in whatever way that looks like to you. I have a particular passion for those who love outside the box - I specialize in working with polyamory and non-monogamy, kink, and queer and trans individuals. I like to get curious about the things that make you unique, and find ways to make those parts shine, while also holding space for the difficulty of living with marginalized identities. While I am not a trained trauma therapist, trauma, both single-instance and complex, informs all of my work.

Are you feeling uncertain and stuck? When terrible events or experiences happen in our lives, trauma is the emotional response that happens in our bodies. This could be a physical trauma such as a car accident, rape, physical abuse, or a natural disaster. There is also emotional trauma can be caused by emotional abuse, humiliation, and even grief. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This therapy is one of the most effective ways to treat trauma as it engages both sides of the brain and allows the trauma memory to be properly processed in the body.

Are you struggling with fatigue, disrupted eating patterns, or a diminished sex drive? Are your relationships feeling strained, or are you navigating a challenging life transition? Perhaps you're questioning the value of therapy. We will create a space together that slows everything down, leaning into the remarkable tools of curiosity and authenticity. We will parse it all out and build a map through the chaos and exhaustion. We'll create strategies to encourage joy and stability, ultimately seeking peaceful energy and a healthy hunger for life’s experiences.

Despite being a professional by day, you have no idea how your life at home started feeling so chaotic and out of control. You and your partner don’t communicate like you used to and you certainly don’t have fun together anymore. Life is consumed by kids, sports, work, and errands. You aren’t having as much sex as you used to either. It feels like you lost yourself along the way and you don’t feel heard or understood by your partner when you try to talk. Things always end up in a fight. You’re exhausted and irritable and you feel alone. Friends and family mean well but they don’t get it. Not really. You need help.

Are you experiencing relationship issues, sleep problems, men's issues, anxiety or sexual concerns? Are you seeking a direct, no-nonsense style of therapy? If so, our work will focus on understanding your individual needs and challenges, leaning into present day issues, and working through the barriers that have interfered with reaching your goals. My clients tell me that they want change, but they need support to make that change happen. I believe in the value of understanding the past, and also know that the most successful therapy focuses on change in the here and now. Email me, or schedule a 15-minute free initial consultation.

As your therapist, I am interested in accompanying you on the exploration of your inner world. I believe self-acceptance & self-compassion are key to our liberation, and there are few places you can go that I can't follow. Our work together will include 1. Getting to know the different parts of you, including those parts that most of us tend to reject and/or repress 2. Examining and deconstructing cultural messages you may have received growing up around sexuality, gender, vulnerability, & intimacy 3. Working to reveal the underbelly of shame by allowing it to transform into your greatest strength.
