Intentional Self Counseling Therapy Setting St. Paul Minneapolis Therapist Counselor

OUR SERVICES

In-Person & Online Counseling

Individuals • Families • Couples • Groups

We are compassionate, informed therapists.

We believe that everyone learns and grows best when they feel supported, comfortable, and safe. That's why therapy is all about finding the right "fit" and building trust between you and your therapist. It’s a personal, confidential, and private relationship with someone who’s trained to help. We’ll work with you to figure out areas you want to focus on, set goals together, and find the best way to move forward.

Our team has a lot of experience working with teens (15+), adults, couples, and families dealing with all kinds of challenges—whether it’s difficulties and transitions, anxiety, addiction, chemical use, trauma/PTSD, depression, loss and grief, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. We’re here to help you navigate whatever life throws your way.

We value teamwork. If there are other professionals involved in your care—like a psychiatrist, teacher, probation officer, or social worker—we’re happy to collaborate with them (with your okay, of course) to make sure you’re getting the best support possible.

We know that visiting our office is not always doable. That’s why all of our therapists offer secure video sessions, also known as telehealth or teletherapy. And don’t worry— it’s secure and confidential and we can bill your insurance for online sessions just like we would for in-person ones.

OUR APPROACH

Compassionate therapy for personal growth and healing.

At Intentional Self, we take a holistic, inclusive, and affirming approach to therapy, creating a compassionate and collaborative environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal, and grow. We understand that each person is unique, and our goal is to tailor our therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or personal development, our skilled and empathetic therapists are here to support you every step of the way.

Our process begins with a thorough initial consultation, during which we get to know you and your specific concerns. We prioritize understanding your unique background, including cultural, gender, and identity factors that shape your lived experience. This initial meeting allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan that is designed to meet your individual needs and empower you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care, ensuring that you receive the most effective and appropriate treatment for your concerns.

At Intentional Self, we believe that healing is not just about addressing symptoms but about fostering growth in all areas of your life. We take a holistic approach that considers your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Our therapists are trained to integrate mind-body approaches, such as mindfulness and somatic therapies, to help you reconnect with your body and develop greater self-awareness. We also provide tools for self-care, stress management, and personal reflection, empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey.

Inclusivity and affirming care are central to our practice. We are proud to offer a safe space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, people of color, and those from different cultural or religious backgrounds. We understand the importance of intersectionality and are dedicated to creating an environment where all aspects of your identity are respected and honored. Our therapists have specialized training in cultural competency and are committed to continually learning and growing to better serve all individuals.

Our therapeutic space is designed to be warm and welcoming, with a focus on creating a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself. We know that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable experience, and our team is dedicated to providing the support, care, and respect you deserve. Throughout the therapeutic process, we will work together to explore your thoughts and feelings, develop new coping strategies, and help you achieve meaningful personal growth.

Whether you are facing a specific challenge or seeking personal development, our goal at Intentional Self is to empower you to live a more fulfilled and authentic life. We are here to walk alongside you on this journey, providing the guidance and support needed to help you overcome obstacles, gain valuable insights, and create lasting change.

If you are ready to take the first step towards healing and growth, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced therapists. We look forward to working with you and supporting you in achieving your personal goals in a nurturing, inclusive, and affirming environment.
