Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota

I consider all human complexity from a holistic point of view. A holistic perspective embraces the interconnections between the body, the mind, and the spirit. All our behaviors and symptoms have a purpose. My core theoretical orientation is trauma-informed Adlerian Psychotherapy. I practice CBT, DBT, MBSR, and EMDR, among a multitude of other Evidence-Based interventions. My specialization focus is trauma and I have multiple advanced hours of training making me equipped to help you dig in the roots of your most pesky daily weeds, when and if you are ready to roll your sleeves up. In my practice of Attachment-based EMDR, I have seen profound changes in clients' healing and personal growth. Flash technique is another form of EMDR intervention known for being much gentler and softer when processing extremely hard memories. My therapeutic style is best described as direct yet compassionate, with a holistic and systems-view perspective. I do use humor and I also believe in the cathartic nature of a good ugly cry. One of the reasons I decided to pursue my lifelong passion of helping people therapeutically (too mature for their age or adults still young at heart) on a professional level was to provide validation, unconditional support, guidance, and skills that my younger self needed and wanted. Are you a first-generation college student struggling to navigate the educational system without the emotional and fiscal support you deserve? Are you struggling to navigate the competing demands of educational, cultural, societal, and self-imposed expectations? Are you feeling overwhelmed? I AM here to help! If you are contemplating throwing the towel or about to, before you give in to the "overwhelm," I encourage you to give therapy a try. Truly, what do you have to lose? I am also a Mom who loves working with other mothers and women as they navigate the challenges of parenting, post-partum concerns, divorce, pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact of fertility issues. My personal experiences have informed my additional strength in working with First Generation Immigrants as they/we navigate the process of acculturation. I continue to be inspired by the healing power of human connection in the therapeutic process. I look forward to hearing from you and starting your journey of self-discovery and healing. I provide therapy in English and Bulgarian.

Accepting New Clients! If your mind never stops, you feel stuck or lost, you're hard on yourself, boundaries feel difficult, people-pleasing is getting in the way of your peace, ADHD or executive dysfunction is impacting motivation, timeliness, or emotional regulation, or life changes feel overwhelming, we may be a good fit. Therapy with me is a space where messy thoughts, swear words, and laughter are all welcome. I bring curiosity, openness, occasional dark humor, some nerdy interests (if that's your thing), accountability when needed, and zero judgment. I believe a safe, authentic therapeutic relationship is most important! Accepting New Clients!

Hey there! I'm Lorene, and I'm passionate about helping you navigate life's ups and downs, empowering you to achieve real, lasting growth. My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy and internal family systems theory, but I always make sure our sessions feel personal, creative, and tailored to you. Using art in therapy is one of my favorite ways to help you express yourself and discover new paths to healing. I've spent time both in behavioral health roles and in corporate management, so I get how challenging it can be balancing school, work, relationships, and self-care. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where you feel understood and valued, no matter your background. Mental health has always been close to my heart, especially since I didn't see enough counselors who looked like me growing up. That’s why I’m committed to staying updated with the latest developments in mental health and addiction counseling.

Life's unpredictability and challenges can lead to uncertainty, fear, and stress. Many clients who seek my psychotherapy services experience stress, anxiety, or depression, often stemming from life transitions, grief, or struggles with interpersonal relationships and self-identity. I have over 6 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health issues and have work with college students dealing with homesickness and veterans. I utilize evidence-based approaches and humor in sessions to foster positivity, confidence, and hope. In our sessions, clients find a welcoming, supportive, and comfortable environment where they feel understood and heard. I believe building rapport and trust with my clients is imperative to the therapeutic work, relationship, and achieving set goals in therapy. Reach out to me to see if we may be a good fit to work together.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness. I work best with clients who are young professionals (in their 20's-30's) or youth (10 and up). They're ready for real change. Clients who are a good fit for me might come to therapy because they have a hard time calming down, feel trapped by their traumas, struggle with perfectionism, or are just feeling like something is missing in their lives. My style of therapy is warm and nonjudgmental. We'll come together to look at how the present is intertwined with your past, and find ways that work for you to cope. When it comes to trauma, I don't believe you need to even fully remember it to heal from it. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's ok! Reach out for a free consultation.

Hello! My practice is focused on complex, chronic mental health challenges, especially borderline personality and chronic depression (dysthymia). The clients I work with often grapple with isolation, mood instability, a nagging sense of emptiness, and recurring relationship struggles. Substance use may be present, but is rarely the core issue. Many have tried therapy before, and have perhaps found some benefit, but remain skeptical about whether it can truly bring the change they seek. My goal is to help you identify deep patterns that have subtly narrowed your options in life, challenge and overcome these patterns, connect more easily with others, and generally feel more at home in the world. I have been fortunate enough to train in mentalization-based treatment and schema therapy, both of which have been recognized as evidence-based treatments for complex, chronic mental health problems. I work to provide a safe, supportive, and inquisitive environment in which you can share your experiences, feel heard, and try out new ways of understanding yourself and relating to others.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience working in the field. For the past 7 years I have been working at a college campus in Minnesota focusing on working with BIPOC students. I have worked in various community settings as well as private practice. I have worked with individuals struggling with adjustment and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. I am aware of how difficult it can be for college students to transition to adulthood as well as manage high stress of school, family and work.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of carrying emotional burdens on your own, you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. Life can bring seasons of struggle, but healing is possible. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, addiction, or simply seeking clarity and direction, I see you. You deserve a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, empathy, and trust. I believe in walking alongside you with compassion while also helping you stay accountable to your goals. Using evidence-based modalities, I support individuals navigating both Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and build the tools you need. With consistent support and honest feedback, clients often find new clarity, emotional resilience, and renewed purpose. I believe you can be healed and grow into your full potential. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to help.

At different times in one's life, painful feelings such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem may be present. Life stressors, complicated interpersonal relationships and more can overpower one's coping resources. At this time, seeking help in the form of therapy can be beneficial. Are you interested in moving beyond feelings of sadness and worry? Are you looking to create more meaningful relationships in your life? Are you seeking more meaning and purpose in your life? If so, counseling can be helpful in starting on this journey. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor and work to create a warm and supportive space in which my clients feel safe to explore difficult concerns. I bring engaged listening, thoughtful questions and an outside perspective to the therapeutic relationship. I work with my clients to identify hopes and goals for the process of therapy. Based on these identified goals, I choose tools and techniques that I believe would be beneficial. I bring a humanistic/client-centered orientation to therapy and incorporate mind-body, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work.

You're here because something about sex has been a concern for months, or maybe as long as you can remember. You wonder "will it always be this way? Is it even possible to feel good?"
