Services
Individual Therapy
Tailored mental health treatment addressing relational challenges, trauma recovery, and personal growth. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like Relational Life Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve self-awareness. Sessions focus on building emotional resilience and addressing specific concerns like anxiety, attachment issues, and self-esteem challenges.
Couples Therapy
Specialized relationship therapy for couples addressing communication breakdowns, trust issues, and intimacy challenges. Using attachment-based approaches, we help partners develop healthier interaction patterns, rebuild trust, and create stronger emotional connections through practical skill-building and honest feedback sessions tailored to each couple's unique dynamics.
Women's Groups
Structured group therapy sessions for women focusing on personal growth, boundary setting, and building meaningful connections. Our groups provide safe spaces for women to explore relational patterns, overcome people-pleasing tendencies, and develop self-acceptance through guided discussions and peer support activities designed to foster personal development and community building.
ART Therapy
Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma recovery and mental health improvement. This evidence-based treatment uses eye movement techniques to reprocess distressing memories, effectively reducing symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety while promoting emotional healing and cognitive restructuring through specialized therapeutic protocols.
Walk-and-Talk Therapy
Nature-based therapy sessions combining traditional counseling with physical activity. Conducted outdoors in Minneapolis parks, these sessions leverage the therapeutic benefits of nature and movement to enhance mood, reduce stress, and create more relaxed therapeutic environments for clients who prefer active, outdoor treatment settings.
