Therapists Beginning With U in Minnesota

Hey lovely humans, I'm Kat (they/them). I'm a Twin Cities based Queer and gender expansive provider. I am a white-bohemian, able bodied provider. I am a sex, kink, bdsm and body positive provider. I own that my lens as a white, able bodied individual impacts how I take up space in the world and the therapy setting. I obtained my Master's of Science in Clinical Social Work from the joint program of University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University in 2018.

I believe that you deserve to be your best you and sometimes we need support to get there. I will take a collaborative approach with you to let you lead and give you the support you need and have a strengths-based lens as I believe we hold the positive capabilities to make the changes we want. I will highlight those for you to see when your not able to. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults heal past trauma, process grief and loss, learn to better manage anxiety and depression, and increase self-esteem and find realistic strategies to support following through with this outside of therapy to sustain results.

As a dedicated therapist, I provide a supportive, inclusive environment for all individuals, with a special focus on those facing tech addiction. In our digital age, technology can enhance life but also cause stress and disconnection. I use a holistic approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients regain control and balance. My goal is to support healthier tech habits and overall well-being. Together, we'll work towards your personal goals and a more fulfilling life. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Warm regards, Jake Bergstedt, Therapist, Uff Da Mental Health.

Starting therapy is a vulnerable thing to do, and it's important to feel comfortable and supported throughout this process. We will work at pace that feels comfortable for you.

I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, panic attacks/disorders, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism; I also specialize in immigrant and refugee mental health.

Do you feel like you are in a pattern that appears to be repeating? Are you continuing to tell stories, and some can be painful to hold I work with people who experience stress and anxiety, grief and depression. We will do this by naming patterns and I will teach you how to regulate your emotions, learn how to communicate with others by standing up for yourself, and tolerate your emotions through difficult life events and stressful situations without making them worse.

I am a queer identified LICSW with more than 13 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I have extensive experience with clients with a variety of mental health diagnoses including anxiety, ADHD, depression, and PTSD. I specialize in working with adults (21+) who are highly sensitive, those who are wanting to live more wholly and authentically as themselves, those that are looking to break intergenerational and transgeneration patterns and trauma, and parents of young children who are wanting to explore different ways of parenting. Many of the clients that I work with also identify as queer.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Is it difficult to get motivated or know what your purpose or plan is in life? Are you struggling in school, your career or relationships? Maybe you're wondering if you'll make it through one more semester, ever find a career you enjoy, or have healthy relationships. Sometimes life can feel like too much and it's easy to get overwhelmed and lost in the sea of decisions and expectations, especially in a world like we’re facing today. It's also possible for things to be different.

Please note: limited daytime availability. If you're here, I applaud you. I understand the decision to see a therapist has many different starting points and it's not always an easy path getting here. Perhaps this is your first time seeking therapy and perhaps you've sought therapy before. No matter where you may be on your journey, I would be honored to support you. Life can be hard and experiences can feed us many lies that cause us to believe we are broken, crazy, or damaged. It is important to me that all of my clients realize the truth that they are worthy, loveable, capable, and resilient.

I enjoy helping people and meeting people where they are at in the mental health journey. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression career & money, past trauma and Autism spectrum disorder.

Now Accepting New Clients! Hope, insight, validation, and change are things I strive to provide the individuals that I work with. With over 15 years of experience as a therapist working with adults (18+) who experience PTSD, eating disorder, personality disorders and mood disorders, I believe it is crucial to create a safe, non-judgmental space to practice therapy. I approach therapy from a client centered approach to build a solid, therapeutic relationship and practice from a trauma-informed perspective.

My passion lies in guiding couples and individuals on a journey of growth and positive transformation.

My commitment to you is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can openly express yourself and collaboratively explore solutions. Together, we will work on improving your mental well-being, building stronger, healthier relationships, and helping you realize your full potential. My ultimate purpose is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling and content life.

Therapy is unique and diverse, as is each individual. Depending on the issue and type of therapy, help can come in the form of support, guidance, information, self-knowledge and/or a space to learn and practice new skills. The center of my practice is focused on building empowerment, balance, self-esteem, and self-awareness. I offer a warm and empathic environment for those facing difficult life transitions, relational challenges, past and present traumas, underlying issues of illness and stress, and any other issues preventing individuals from realizing the freedom and happiness of their true nature.

Many people are finding life more difficult these days. There is often so much to deal with in our personal lives, add the impact of world events and it can all just be too much. Having someone to listen and support you can make a big difference in coping with your struggles and not feeling alone. I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t like being listened to and understood. My focus in therapy is to help you get relief from your pain and explore ways to cope with life’s ongoing challenges.
