Therapists Beginning With K in Minnesota

Do you need help finding direction or clarity? Are you struggling with a personal problem or relationship? Do you need a safe, non-biased place to share your concerns? If so, I would like to help. I am committed to working together with my clients to establish goals and a positive direction for therapy. Genuineness, respect and empathy are the essential components of my therapeutic style. I strive to provide a place where clients feel accepted and valued regardless of their life situations. My passion is to help others who are struggling in their lives or their relationships and want to change the direction of their lives.

I help adults (18+) cope with and overcome the effects of trauma. This can show up as depression, anxiety, dissociation, flashbacks, low self-esteem, identity confusion, sleep disturbances, relational difficulties, and much more.

My clients come from all ages, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds! This absolutely includes LGBTQIA+ identifying clients! I wish to help all of my clients understand who they are, how their history defines who they are today, and how to make sense of that within the change process. All of my clients will garner a sense of their trauma, how it affected them in the past, how it still affects them today, and how to regain control of their sense of purpose and place within the context of their lived realities.

I'm so glad you are considering counseling! Personal growth work is some of the most rewarding work you'll ever do. I typically work with women wanting to feel better about themselves and their relationships, to improve the day to day chaos, anxiety and stress, to let go of negative patterns and to heal past traumas. I also work with young adults to improve academic/work stress, anxiety, relationships and coping with transitions. We all benefit from learning to take care of ourselves in a deeper, more impactful way. I'd be happy to help you work towards the happier, more balanced life that you long for!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who utilizes empathy, kindness, active listening, respect and systemic approach with clients to build a trusting relationship. Within this relationship is where clients are able to find their center, rise to the challenges they are facing, work on and achieve their goals, and find a sense of balance. I believe we all need connection, compassion, and encouragement to grow. I offer both in person and virtual sessions. Let me know how I can be of support for you.

Life is a journey down a long winding path, through forests and meadows, filled with obstacles that can easily trip us up. Each path is unique and I enjoy walking with clients on their journey. I believe in a client-centered, strength based approach to therapy. We work together to establish goals and develop treatment plans based on your priorities and needs.

I have been in practice providing individual and couple therapy for over 44 years. My areas of expertise include marriage and relationship counseling, divorce and blended families, and work with individuals who have issues related to depression and anxiety, family of origin, chemical dependency and co-dependency. My clientele includes both heterosexual and gay and lesbian individuals and couples. In addition, I work with clients for whom religion or spirituality are important dimensions of their lives, both as a source of strength and as a source of challenge or conflict.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) serving the Twin Cities area, passionate about helping and supporting people. I believe that as humans we are always evolving from the experiences that life offers, which has steered me to believe in the interconnectedness of all life, and therefore my practice operates from a framework honoring the unity of the mind, body and spirit. I believe that each person is unique and that there is no one approach to the problems they present.

I am a passionate therapist who believes in the power of change. As a mother of two, a wife, a child development specialist and a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I, personally and professionally understand the highs and lows in parenting and relationships. Together, we will put the joy back into parenting, your partnership and in life! With over a decade of experience working with families, individuals and couples, I am able to help empower you, engage your children and build your relationships.

All counseling I do is related to work and career issues. You may be thinking about a different career, trying to figure out a major in college, considering re-entering the job market after an absence, questioning what's next after graduating, or are unhappy with your current work situation. We explore characteristics such as values, interests, and motivators through counseling sessions, assessments and exercises. It's a very active process with the goal of discovering what best suits you, keeping in mind the realities of the job market and individual needs.

I work with individuals to address sexual health related issues that may be getting in the way of a healthy and satisfying sex life. I help couples and individuals to improve overall sexual health and connectedness, while also working to improve overall relationship satisfaction and communication. Issues may include: sexual pain, desire discrepancies, orgasm problems, discomfort with your body image, sexual boredom, etc. I recognize that change can be difficult and seek to provide the support you need to achieve your goals by listening to you, helping to identify the outcome you desire, and motivating you to reach your goals.

Are you feeling anxious or need help getting through a difficult time in your life? Are you hoping to improve your overall mood and outlook on life? Have you been dealing with grief or loss? I hope to help you in any of these areas. I will walk side by side with you through your struggles and offer empathy and compassion. I have my own experience with a chronic illness and would like to support you through your journey of dealing with the challenges of a chronic illness. My work mainly focuses on working with adults and couples. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my clients and hope to work with you in the future.

I am a human first and a therapist second, which means I will meet you where you are at and I will not judge you for the things you might be judging yourself for. I'm not afraid to use humor and have a passion for helping build stronger connections in your relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself. I offer an encouraging, warm, and collaborative approach to healing and welcome couples, families, adolescents, and adults.

If you are looking to make a change but are not sure how, therapy can help. Therapy can feel intimidating but it shouldn't be. The process of learning about yourself and evaluating how you think can prove to be a healing one. It also helps you to find ways to cope with the past and to heal from pain related to one's experiences. It's human to get stuck sometimes and it helps to talk things through, to help make sense of it all, and to move toward living a more satisfying life.

My approach to therapy is meeting you where you are at and letting you know you are not alone. I create a safe space to explore and process the issues you are facing and work to establish a stronger sense of well being. By challenging perspectives that do not serve you, we can empower change.

Some of the issues I work with often include anxiety, depression, anger, lack of motivation, career-related stress, parental issues, sex and gender-related issues, and addiction. I work to create an environment that feels supportive, respectful, and collaborative. Together we will explore your challenges and find ways to get unstuck. Sometimes our goal may be to decrease the severity of symptoms, and sometimes it may be to understand what is missing in your life.

Some people enter therapy with a specific problem they want to solve. Others are interested in achieving a broader goal such as psychological growth and understanding. I am happy to help you define and work towards a goal which best meets your needs. My specialties include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems (eg. assertiveness, , intimacy issues, anger management) and self-esteem issues. In my work I draw from my training in cognitive-behavior therapy, family systems approaches, Ericksonian hypnosis, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness meditation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
