Individual Therapy in St. Paul, MN

Therapy for you.
Help for your relationship.

When an issue arises in a relationship, working on the problems as a couple seems like the obvious answer.
Yet, true relationship work can only happen when each person can:

  • Understand their own emotional triggers

  • Clearly communicate their wants and needs

  • Stay grounded and present during conflict

  • Vulnerably share about their fears and needs

Without these skills, couples find themselves repeating the same unhelpful patterns they have at home but now in couples therapy.

Learn the skills you need to show up
confident, clear and capable with your partner.

THE PROCESS

What You Will Learn

  • Eye

    Uncover Your Blind Spots

    Insight into your own triggers, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of becoming an emotionally intelligent human and partner.

  • Understand Your Partner

    Sometimes partners can feel like a mystery. Clearly grasp what your partner is asking for and learn to become that consistently. 

  • Curb Unhealthy Coping

    Without the right relationship skills, a person can feel inadequate. Wanting to escape the harsh self-talk leads to numbing with substances, porn, and screens.

  • Heal From The Past

    Maybe you've been cheated on. Or maybe your Dad was a real piece of work. Past experiences in all types of relationships show up in unintended ways. Deal with hurt from the past so that it does not wreck what you have today.

  • Bed icon

    Get Freaky

    Less conflict = more sex, right? Not always. Creating a healthy sex life can be tricky. Get the sexy and unsexy parts of the relationship out in the open. Uncomfortable? Maybe, but the results make the journey completely worthwhile.

  • Speech bubble

    Ask For What You Need

    A relationship is about two peoples’ needs. Identify and clearly communicate what you want. Yes, sex is part of the equation but you have other needs too. Discover what they are.

TRAUMA GETTING IN THE WAY?

Let EMDR help.

EMDR is a type of therapy designed to release the past and improve how you feel about yourself.
Traumatic experiences change how we act.
They cause irritability, angry outbursts, withdrawing and negative coping (e.g. drinking more or excessive phone use). Clients who experience EMDR often have more patience, can share how they feel, and find it easier to trust their partners. For some, the feeling of having a “short fuse” is gone.
Want to know more about EMDR and how it works? Schedule a consultation or check out the blog.

Let go of unnecessary guilt, shame, and self doubt.

An EQUAL PARTNER is:

  • Emotionally available

  • Able to initiate tough conversations

  • Self-aware

  • Proactive at home

  • An effective communicator

  • Able to stay calm during conflict

  • Feels secure enough to talk about sex and desire

  • Able to manage stress in healthy ways
