Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota

Hello and welcome to the beginning of your healing journey! My name is Neko and I joined this field because I believe that life is a journey where invitations to heal, grow and prosper are constantly received. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Seminary. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota. I am trained to view life difficulties through a systemic-trauma lens and I use that lens to work alongside those struggling with difficulties in life. I primarily use modalities that revolve around ones natural psychological parts and somatic sensations and experiences. I have a deep passion for everyone to know that they have value; no matter where they are or where they have been - they hold intrinsic value. I want each person to know they are capable of healing and transformation no matter what choices they have made or despite what life has thrown at them. I have been working alongside individuals for over a decade through my time as a staff at Bethel University, Camp Forest Springs, Hammer Residences, Wellstone Elementary and a Intensive Treatment to Foster Care program through Family Innovations. When I am not sitting with clients, you will find me reading a good book, up north, outdoors, relaxing with my wife, daughter and dog exploring Disney World.

Life comes with its own unique challenges and triumphs. Often during the challenging parts, we can find ourselves feeling stuck. Sometimes the reasons are obvious. Other times, not so much. As a therapist, I take pride in providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these more vulnerable parts of life. In my work with teens and adults, I take a client-centered approach while drawing from psychodynamic principles. I aim to build an authentic relationship with you as we explore different aspects of your life. This allows us to identify patterns and themes while setting goals that are meaningful to you. When working together, your autonomy is of the utmost importance to me. I value your collaboration in order to work at your own pace. Throughout my training and professional experience, I worked in various settings including schools, hospitals, the child welfare system, and private practice. These experiences have prepared me to work confidently with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity-related issues, life transitions, and relational wounds.

Everyone’s mental health journey looks and feels different. Like you, I’ve had my own journey. This means you can trust me when I say that I know it is hard. I know that it can be scary and I know that you need to feel safe in this process. I am here to walk next to you, to cheer you on and sometimes to help pick you up when you fall. I am honored that my job allows me to help others on their journey and it is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples. I work with my clients to treat depression, anxiety and trauma. I also work with clients to process issues related to divorce, parenting, relationship concerns, life changes and the challenges that come with having a family member in the military or law enforcement. My experience treating PTSD includes working in a partial hospitalization program and being certified in Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I believe that it is important that my clients feel I am a good fit for them both in my treatment approach and in personality, that is why I offer a free 20 minute consultation before starting therapy.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Has anxiety or depression made it difficult to get through the day? Are you just not feeling like yourself or doing the things you used to enjoy? My name is Bridget Mozina, MA, LMFT, and I believe sometimes life throws us challenges, and therapy can be helpful in navigating through those. I enjoy supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, and self-harm. Along with a warm and accepting environment, I also bring humor and authenticity. I help people discover their strengths, gain insight, and develop the tools for lasting change.

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.

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.

I believe building rapport and trust with my clients is imperative to the therapeutic work, relationship, and achieving set goals in therapy.
