Anxiety Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I primarily work with children experiencing behavioral struggles, difficulties in the parent-child relationship, anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or life stressors. In addition, I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life stressors, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and/or parenting stressors.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in evidence-based psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have an expertise in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, trauma, current life stressors and transitions, grief, loss, and relationship difficulties. I also have specialized training and experience in working with mental health issues across the female lifecycle, chronic illness, and pain. Before moving to Minnesota, I served as faculty at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Columbia University Medical Center in New York and Case Western School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio.

I believe that each individual frames their life from their experiences. Such experiences can cause distress, sometimes making life unbearable. I invite clients in the direction of the unconscious mental process to create healing and promote change. With wholeheartedness and non-judgemental support, I offer a deep journey in search of keys to unveil the answers that lie within. I help clients to find insight, and cope with the underlying causes of emotional and psychological symptoms. I suppose that it is through telling one's unique story, that one can re-write it.

This world, this life, is pretty absurd when we think about it. We're on a giant rock floating in the vast universe, not knowing why we're here and how to navigate it all. I want to be there for people trying to find a way to forge their path through life and find some joy, contentment, humor, and purpose along the way. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking out therapy to work on finding relief from relationship stress, depression, anxiety, and/or trauma, whether it's linked to past experiences or because of current stressors in their lives.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work from a trauma-informed, harm reduction, sex positive, attachment-based lens. I specialize in working with adults from diverse backgrounds, particularly the LGBTQ+ community. I see clients for individual therapy. I especially enjoy working with creative people and have a deep understanding of the creative process. I am trained in EMDR, AEDP and DBT.

If you want to know what your unconscious mind is telling you in your dreams, I can help. By understanding the deeper underpinnings of your own dynamics, you can sort out complexities. When you gain insight about what drives your anxiety and moods, your sense of possibilities can change profoundly.

I am passionate about helping individuals find meaning and purpose in their lives. I offer a holistic and collaborative approach to health and wellness, integrating various techniques to meet the unique needs of my clients. My integrative approach allows me to meet my clients’ needs in the present moment, address underlying issues from their past, help them to find meaning in the choices they have made throughout their lives, and create a life for themselves filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. I believe building trusting relationships with my clients is paramount to a healthy therapy experience.

Working with a spirit of solidarity and using an insight oriented approach I help adults of all backgrounds gain insight, build confidence, and make meaningful life changes. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, relationship conflict, and relapse prevention. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust and comfort and to establish a strong therapeutic alliance. I have a keen awareness of diversity and multicultural issues, and the ability to work comfortably and respectfully with clients regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.

Do you find it difficult to muster the energy to start your day? Are you feeling crushed beneath the weight of stress or anxiety? Have you experienced loss or trauma that continues to impact your life and relationships? Many individuals experience these obstacles, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed at times. But imagine a life where each day feels like an opportunity rather than a challenge. It may seem daunting, but countless people have found their joy again, and you can too. I am passionate about helping others find their path to a meaningful and balanced life.

I believe it's important to recognize all aspects of your being in the therapy process. This is why I integrate Western medicine (neuroscience, somatic methods and cognitive-behavioral therapy) with Eastern philosophy (Buddhist psychology and Ayurvedic medicine). My role is facilitator, guiding you in changing patterns, improving relationships, living authentically and being your best self.

I have been a psychologist for 35 yrs working with individuals, couples, and families. I work with each client to identify what is causing their current problems and how we can restore optimal growth and health. I use many of the most effective psychotherapy methods for relieving anxiety, depression, and trauma-a comprehensive Mind-Body approach.

My practice is geared towards adults and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, family or relationship problems. I also work with issues surrounding parenthood and reclaiming identity and creating balance. I specialize in both brief solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term insight oriented therapy for those working through a wide variety of problems related to moods, relationships, physical, emotional & life circumstances. I work with couples of all kinds, including Interfaith, Intercultural and Interracial Couples, facilitating productive communication around sensitive issues, as do my 2 interns, Mary & HeeSoo.

Molly is dedicated in her work with adults who struggle with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, negative body image, perfectionism, and life transitions. She uses a strengths-based lens to collaborate with clients in reaching their goals. Molly integrates aspects of CBT, DBT, HAES, mindfulness and exposure therapy in her practice to provide personalized support for her clients. She believes that creating a compassionate relationship with clients is essential in the process of healing. Molly received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Denver.

I offer an integrative approach to therapy that implements various treatment modalities, psychoeducation, and general nutrition and physical activity. I believe in working collaboratively so that together we can reach a deeper level of understanding, consider new perspectives, behaviors, and feelings towards challenging life situations.

Seeking psychotherapy is a brave decision. My comprehensive training in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, narrative exposure, and the Gottman models of treatment allows me to work comfortably with adult individuals and couples from all walks of life. I am especially interested in the problems of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, relationship concerns, family of origins issues, identity and personality development, as well as life transitions.

I provide therapy personalized to address your unique goals and needs. My therapeutic approach is integrative and relationship-focused, influenced by liberation psychology, feminist/multicultural, and humanistic/existential lenses. I trained as a generalist and also have extensive experience working with overlapping healthcare needs, trauma survivors, people coping with experiences of domestic violence and abuse, and students addressing topics such as academic success, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity development, and healthy relationships. I continue to refine a culturally humble approach to psychotherapy work.

My therapy style is relational and casual. I like to use humor and aim to be collaborative—if there’s something I can do or learn about to better help you, I want to hear it. Likewise, we all make mistakes, including therapists, so I strive to talk those through with you and help build a stronger therapeutic relationship. I hope to challenge the client/therapist power dynamic, meaning you are the expert on your life and our sessions should be guided by what you want and need. I love working with folks on exploring aspects of their identity and discussing ways oppressive systems show up in our lives.

I believe in the power of synergy! Collaborating together on your concerns, increases the potential for change. You are the expert of you and I am a facilitator of change. Together, we will work on an approach for moving through areas in your life where you feel stuck. Anxiety, depression, low self esteem or relationship challenges need a pro-active perspective. Identifying, eradicating and replacing your sources of pain with mindfulness and intentional balance will bring more joy into your life.

I enjoy working with individual adults, teens, and children (10+) with a variety of mental health concerns. I have significant experience working with people coping with grief and loss. Through supporting hundreds of individuals and families mourning a death, I recognize how unique grief is to each one of us. I work to normalize and validate the diversity of one's grief experiences to promote hope and healing.
