Substance Use Therapists in 55105

Thanks for visiting my profile. Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself and those around you? Feeling depressed, anxious, or lost? I would love to hold space with you while you explore the inner workings of all things related to you. I believe that as human beings, everything we do is relational, therefore, I believe therapy offers the opportunity to heal with another person being present. I have been working as a clinical social worker for the past 12 years. I currently offer telehealth services in Minnesota and Wisconsin to individuals 18 and older.

Immediate client openings available! I approach treatment and therapy through a trauma-informed, client-centered, and harm-reduction lens. I would like to assist you in processing your emotions in a healthy manner and to assist you in learning the necessary skills to acquire new tools to make the changes you want in your life. I am passionate in helping individuals that struggle with PTSD, substance use, depression, anxiety, fear, shame/guilt, grief/loss, life transitions, identity issues, and relationship concerns.

Unsure of what's next for your relationship? Feeling like you need support due to lack of intimacy and connection? Struggling to communicate? Couples therapy is here to help during difficult relationship turning points. Whether you're unsure if you can truly heal from betrayal, have dealt with months or years of sexual disconnection or are struggling to be on the same page with your partner, consider booking a marital therapy session today. You will both acquire the tools and skills needed to not just survive this hard time but to learn how to thrive in a healthier and happier relationship.

As a therapist, I believe that authenticity and the therapeutic relationship are invaluable. I believe that therapy will not work if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I tend to be a laid back, compassionate clinician who values humor in session, but I am also not afraid to challenge you and be direct. I believe each individual is unique, therefore I do not believe there is one set way to do therapy. I value meeting individuals where they are at and learning about their strengths to help them in session. I work with adults ages 18+.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds and have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups in treatment centers and outpatient clinics. I collaborate with my clients, providing person-centered, evidence-based treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. Often, life experiences lead us to believe that we are incapable, flawed, or unworthy. While you cannot change what has happened in the past, you can create new meaning from your experiences. You can direct your path forward, utilizing your strengths, embracing who you want to be, and living a fulfilling life that reflects your values.

Seeking therapy takes immense courage, and the therapy session should be a place to explore, question, struggle, and heal without judgment. In my practice, I utilize a systemic, feminist approach that honors the innate dignity, worth, and capacity for change in all human beings. I believe that healing and change happen in our relationships to others and to a global sense of humanity. I strive to create a safe container in which to practice interpersonal healing, utilizing the therapeutic relationship and process as the primary tool for creating change.

It may be difficult to ask for help when feeling overwhelmed by challenges in your life. I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment to help you learn more about yourself and gain skills to navigate those life challenges. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative one and aim to create a space where you feel seen and heard. I have a gentle yet direct communication style and utilize a person-centered, strengths-based, and relational approach.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (21952) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (303042). I work from a trauma aware, person centered, sex positive and harm reduction based perspective. I am queer identified and use she, her and hers pronouns. If you've found my profile, welcome and I look forward to learning more about you. Most of my experience is in working with people with a history of traumatic experiences, people who want to discuss/potentially make changes to their substance use, LGBTQIA + people and people living with or impacted by HIV.

Hello, I am Madison Gruenewald and I am a licensed therapist in the state of Minnesota. I have 9 years experience working in outpatient mental health/substance use disorder treatment, helping clients work through relationship issues, mood management, value exploration, recovery from addiction and codependency, etc. My experience includes working with individuals, groups and families and have worked with both adolescents and adults. My passion is working collaboratively alongside my clients as they navigate through their healing and create a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Now accepting Blue Cross BlueShield. I believe that each person is their own healer and is capable of living life fully. My approach to therapy includes exploring our past experience, present circumstances, and future goals. I strive to create a non-judgmental, compassionate, and collaborative space for my clients. I have been a licensed masters level therapist for 6 years. My experience includes anxiety, depression, trauma, EMDR, substance use disorder, eating disorder, self esteem, body image, perinatal mental health, and parenting. Before becoming an LPCC I worked with severe and persistent mental health in residential settings.

Sometimes in life we can feel like we have no control over what is happening, the paths our relationships are taking, or what the future might have in store for us. We can get to a place where we are stuck in a continuous cycle of negative thinking, gloomy feelings, and ineffective behaviors. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, relationship changes/separation, substance use issues, stress management, academic challenges, sports/performance concerns, chronic illness, sexuality/gender identity issues, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum, and life balance.

Your experience is valid whether it be sadness, anxiety/worry, lack of self-trust, substance use/misuse, low motivation, a sense of disconnect from yourself or others, or difficulty adjusting. You may feel like you are moving through life without purpose or meaning, like your brain is on autopilot reacting to the world instead of responding mindfully. As a therapist, I help people tap into their inner healing systems in order to understand and welcome all parts of themselves. My goal is to help you feel empowered in approaching life and your relationships with greater clarity, ease, calm, creativity, and confidence.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor that has experience counseling adults in a variety of settings. I take a person-centered relational approach enhancing client strengths and empowering them through collaboration. I enjoy working with clients that have trauma and/or co-occurring disorders. I understand that some people may be aware that they need help processing their trauma and/or understanding why they are using substances. There are other people that are not as far along in the stages of changes. I believe therapy is a joint effort in processing through life's challenges.

Immediate availability. You've carried the weight of your struggles alone for far too long. The mere thought of reaching out for help, expressing your needs, and acknowledging your worth as a person feels like an insurmountable hurdle! Anxiety and depression seem to have a firm grip, distorting your perspective. Navigating through emotions has become a labyrinth, and anger simmers beneath the surface. The pressures of life have left you seeking effective stress management strategies. Self-esteem feels elusive, and issues related to masculinity and femininity weigh heavily on your shoulders. Perfectionism has crushed self-acceptance.

At times, dealing with emotional and relational challenges and other life stressors can feel frustrating and overwhelming. I will listen to you carefully and work with you to identify those issues clearly, then develop healthier approaches and coping skills to improve your sense of integration and wholeness. I will collaborate with you to create a life with a greater sense of authenticity and fulfillment. Trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, alcohol and chemical use, co-dependency, relationships, anger, and life transitions are all challenges with which I am able to help you.

The shame of not being in control of your life can feel so isolating and anxiety provoking. And the thought of talking about it with someone else can feel paralyzing at times. How did I get here? Why can't I fix this on my own? Why do I keep going back? What is wrong with me? Do I have a drinking problem? Why can't I sleep? Do I need to quit or can I just cut back? Why is my relationship so difficult? These nagging thoughts could go on and on.

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.

People come into therapy because they want something to change in their lives--how they feel, how they relate to others, how they handle stress. I enjoy working with people who want to commit to working in therapy; who have the courage to face the important issues; who want to work collaboratively with me to find the solutions to feeling better. I consider myself a guide and coach in this process as we get to know each other. It gives me great joy to watch my clients grow, change and start to enjoy life again.

Are you looking for a way to feel better and to start taking steps toward the life you want to live? Perhaps you've been putting everyone else's needs above your own, or maybe you've been holding up everyone else while you're struggling to just hold onto yourself. If you've lost yourself along the way, I know how hard that can be, and you no longer need to suffer in silence. Whether you’re feeling stuck in depression, anxiety, overwhelm, emptiness, or loneliness, together we can start moving you toward relief from the pain you're experiencing and toward a life you feel excited to live.
