Therapists in Minnesota

My first career includes 17 years of retail management. I worked in multiple divisions, environments, and roles within the retail management industry. Most of my experience was in big-box retail environments or corporate offices, so I understand the expectations and stressors of P&L management, marketing, staff performance/recruitment/training & development, shrinkage, O.S.H.A. compliance, and merchandising. I transitioned from the retail management industry to the human services industry in March 2010 after earning my Master’s degree in Human Services, with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling. I recently obtained a doctoral degree in Human and Social Services. This information is pertinent for adults who need assistance to cope with work-life balance, corporate industry standards, stressful work environments, conflict management with co-workers, and work performance due to compassion fatigue or inappropriate time management.

I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and meaningful inner work. Together, I will focus on creating a grounded and supportive space where emotions are welcomed, nervous systems can settle, and safety is welcome. I will help you reconnect with your own sense of clarity and strength. Whether we’re using creative expression, mindfulness, or cognitive tools, therapy is laced with care and built around what feels safe and meaningful to you.

My name is Dr. Ruth Ellerbroek (She/her/hers). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I use evidence-based, relational approaches—including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Adlerian methods—to support individuals and couples seeking greater clarity, connection, and emotional balance. I love to help people shift unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships, and move toward lives grounded in purpose, self-compassion, and meaningful change.

Hi, I'm Kim. I am a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes that healing happens through genuine human connection. As an immigrant, bilingual professional, and someone who has navigated significant life transitions and challenges, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and carry life's burdens alone. My approach is collaborative, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves while also feeling supported and challenged to grow. I believe that every person has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for change, even when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. In our work together, I combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want to create. My goal is for clients to leave sessions feeling understood, empowered, and hopeful about their ability to navigate life's challenges.

I am licensed in Minnesota with more than 12 years of professional work experience. I have always believed in the potential of each person as an individual and my goal as a therapist is to help each person find new ways to approach the obstacles that keep them from achieving their full potential and being secure and content in who they are. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT, Buddhist Concepts like Present Moment Living and Mindfulness, and Behavioral Activation to assist people in areas that include Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Trauma, Family Dynamics, and Chronic Pain and Aging. Personally, I love dogs, nature, animals, and doing crafts like knitting and crocheting. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self—without feeling judged, analyzed, or like you need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and direct. I bring humor into the room when it fits, ask thoughtful questions, and won’t just sit back and nod. I want therapy to feel like a genuine conversation while also helping you understand yourself differently and make meaningful changes in your life. I work especially well with adults who are overwhelmed, anxious, navigating ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, major life transitions, grief, trauma, or simply feeling like they are carrying too much. Many of my clients are capable, responsible people who are used to taking care of everyone else but struggle to extend that same understanding to themselves. You may be functioning on the outside while privately feeling exhausted, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I have more than a decade of experience as a social worker and therapist, including many years working in emergency and mental health settings. Those experiences have shaped my ability to remain grounded when life gets complicated and taught me that people rarely fit neatly into a box. As a therapist, I balance compassion with honesty. We’ll explore where patterns came from, but we’ll also focus on what you can do with that understanding now. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood, challenged when helpful, and supported in building a life that feels more manageable, authentic, and your own.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and 3 years of experience providing therapy. I work with older teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to explore challenges, build on their strengths, and develop practical tools for everyday life.
