Trauma Focused Therapists in 55407

I believe we can all grow, change and heal. My specialty is helping people work through emotions, explore difficulties, address relationship stressors, heal trauma and create safety from overwhelming pain. I work with individuals, couples and families to cope with depression and anxiety, relationship issues, shame, losses, addictions or other behavioral issues, scarcity, family of origin issues and life transitions. Other areas of interest for me as a clinician include inner child work, codependency, somatic experiencing, and dialectical behavior therapy.

Welcome. My hope is that through your experience in therapy, whether this is your first time or you've been in therapy before, you find a fresh and open place for healing in your life. My approach begins by building an honest relationship with you that enables us to process your story. Whatever is uncovered along the way: grief, joy, disappointment, confusion, anger, freedom, trauma, loss, strength, creativity, humor... the mosaic will be uniquely yours.

Accepting new relational clients (couples, families, ENM) only at this time-. If the sound of your morning alarm has ever filled you with dread, you've come to the right place. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating as hell, I get it. However, I'm a person who knows what it's like to be on both sides of the therapeutic relationship.

I value and understand the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, and work collaboratively with clients to tailor their therapy to meet their unique needs. I have experience with a variety of therapeutic techniques including play therapy, art therapy, solution focused, psychodynamic, ACT, EMDR and CBT.

Being a person can be hard! If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship or substance use issues, or any of the difficult feelings that come with being human, I want to help! When you learn to trust your own intuition, identify your needs, and define your boundaries, you are better able to advocate for yourself and create the life you want. I focus on helping each individual to make deep connections, uncover your inner strength and wisdom, and cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life. At times, you may just need a little extra support wherever you're at, and I'll meet you there!

It's important to me to individualize care to best fit your needs and address the goals that are most important to you. Having trouble knowing what your goals are? There is no such thing as a problem without a goal, so if you are facing problems in your life it's likely because there are feelings, and experiences you want in your life. The more in touch we become with our wants, needs and values, the more satisfaction we can get from our lives.

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.

Welcome! I honor your willingness to seek out therapy. Often what brings us here is a yearning for something wanted but not known. I invite you to trust your curiosity and desire for wholeness. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment to help you look inward with curiosity and self-compassion.

Accepting New Clients. Integrative, holistic, intuitive, and customized therapy approach for those who seek a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships.

My overall therapeutic approach is to explore emotions and behaviors, understand experiences and hurts, and assist in identifying and utilizing natural strengths to increase ability to deal with the stressors unique to you. I also specialize in working with Highly Sensitive people, entrepreneurs, writers, creatives, and caregivers.

As a somatic, trauma-informed, and person-centered therapist, I take a holistic approach to therapy. My clients tend to have a history of complex trauma that impacts both their relationships with others and their relationship with themselves. I'll support you in uncovering underlying patterns and finding relief from experiences such as relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and feelings of low self-worth, as well as help you move through life with patterns that feel more aligned with your goals. From a somatic perspective, I safely incorporate body awareness on the path towards greater self-confidence and empowerment.

Do you or your family feel tired, stuck in chaos and ready to throw in the towel? Adoptive families may face unique challenges that require a supportive professional who has personal and professional knowledge of attachment adaptations, trauma responses, anxiety, grief, and the adoption circle. As a parent of three, all adopted transracially, I have faced both the joy and struggle of parenting. When working with you, I will bring my personal and professional experience using a sensitive, non-judgmental approach as I help you find renewed hope and joy for yourself and your family.

If you're struggling in your relationships with things like communication and you feel like you don’t know how to improve it, even with workbooks or past therapy, I can successfully help relationships and individuals learn not only how to have hard conversations, but also how to tolerate the distress of having to talk about things we think we “shouldn’t have to.” To accomplish this, we'll identify communication styles, barriers, and other relational dynamics keeping the relationship from thriving by using skills-focused and narrative approaches that reinforce the relationship.

Compassionate courage lives at the intersection of a supportive, safe environment and a willingness to kindly challenge yourself, and it is what I wish to provide for you. Actively questioning the ideas of “normalcy,” I work with you to unravel what assumptions you may have about yourself or the world around you. As we work together, I will help you contextualize our discoveries socially, developmentally, culturally, and biologically.

I am a queer, fat, cis-gender woman. I'm a divorced single mom, a therapist, a social worker, a community organizer, a birth and postpartum doula, an activist, a friend, and a member of many different kinds of families. All these identities, roles, life experiences have woven together to shape the unique perspective and philosophy that guides me. I am committed to the goal of liberation, individually and collectively. I am committed to finding ways to live life as our liberated authentic selves in a world that tries to shatter our identities, question our experiences, values and dreams.

I believe it takes courage to begin the process of change. With that spirit, I try to embody the African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” I believe we can all heal, change and grow, particularly when we have support and love in the process. I feel deeply honored to walk arm in arm in therapy with the clients I see. In both my therapeutic work and personally, I value humor, compassion, and sincerity. The therapist you choose is someone whom you’ve entrusted to build a safe and healing relationship.
