Therapy Doesn't Have To Suck

About

About Us

We're not your grandmother's counselors, and we're not going to sell you on fluffy clouds and unicorn dreams. At Twin Cities Counseling, we roll up our sleeves to help our clients toward one goal: to become the best versions of themselves. Full stop. Because while our best selves still struggle, they struggle better. Let us help you, challenge you, and unconditionally support you as we untangle life's messes, find some clarity, and get you back to kicking butt in the real world. We offer practical,  CBT/DBT-informed, biology-based, and solution-focused care. So, if you're ready to start making real progress, welcome. Let's get stuff done.

​

And remember, while the stuff we talk about may be hard, we aim to keep the mood light. We know that nothing matters more than authentic connection, and we'll make sure you feel comfortable through it all.

Anxiety

Therapy sucks less than anxiety. We promise. At Twin Cities Counseling we're on a mission to help you reclaim control of your life. Our tailored approach blends evidence-based techniques with a healthy dose of real-world practicality, ensuring you get the tools you need to tackle anxiety head-on. Whether it's through cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, or good old-fashioned tough love, we'll support you every step of the way on your journey to a calmer, more confident you.

Depression

We know depression is more than being sad. We also know the idea of 'just cheering up' is bullshit. Simply thinking your way out of depression is a tough thing to do; we want to be in your corner as you take action steps toward replacing it with something less, you know, terrible.

Relationships

Healthy relationships are essential to our well-being. At Twin Cities Counseling, we offer support for a wide range of relationship issues. While our therapists work with couples, we specialize in working with the individuals in the relationship to help them improve communication, develop stronger connections, and resolve conflicts. Because better ingredients make for better recipes.

DBT and BPD

At Twin Cities Counseling, we specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, and offer years of experience treating personality disorders, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Our approach is non-judgmental, compassionate, and focused on helping clients make positive and sustainable changes in their lives. Change can be hard. And, doing things the same way led you to be reading this, so... Choose your hard?

Trauma

Nothing quite like when something outside of your control saunters in and disrupts pretty much your entire life, right? We work with all sorts of trauma - complex and acute - to mitigate the effects it has on our day-to-day, relationships, self-concept, and... you know... literally everything else.

Adolescent Therapy

Adolescence can be a challenging time for kids. Adolescence can be tough for parents. We've yet to see a hallmark card, though, that says, 'Congrats on the newborn! Hope you're ready to feel like you're driving a car with no brakes!" 

Our therapists are experienced in working with young people and are here to support them on their journey of building self-confidence, shaping behavior, alleviating anxiety, and lending a hand to the parents doing the best they can as well.
