Self Esteem Therapists in Minnesota

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a strengths-based, relational approach to therapy. My practice is rooted in the belief that people are doing the best they can with what they’ve got—and that with the right support, tools, and connection, meaningful change is always possible. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges including feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many of my clients are coping with anxiety, depression, attention-related struggles, or relationship stress, and are looking for ways to feel more in control, confident, and connected. I also have extensive experience supporting parents, members of the LGBTQ+ community, healthcare professionals, first responders, and individuals impacted by adoption, foster care, or complex family dynamics. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, relational and insight-oriented approaches, multicultural frameworks, and strengths-based support to tailor each session to your goals and values. I bring curiosity, humor, and compassion into the room—and I take your trust seriously. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about helping you better understand yourself, deepen your relationships, and build a life that feels more aligned. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. You just have to be ready to begin.

Hello — I’m Dr. LaDonna Butler, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF), and DBT-informed therapist. I help individuals and families — especially Black women and other marginalized communities — reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and live with more courage and self-trust.

In our work, I blend evidence-based approaches like DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) — building skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and healthy relationships — with narrative healing and The Daring Way™, Brené Brown’s framework for shame resilience and wholehearted living.

Hi! I'm Jen Tucker, a licensed mental health counselor who is passionate about serving others. I'm a military veteran and a military spouse. I'm also a wife, mom, and grandmother. I've been through a lot in my life. Most of you have too. After all, you find yourself here looking for something. It is my firm belief that each and every one of us has tremendous potential. We all have unique talents and skills, honed and sharpened through our life experiences. These experiences, while crucial to shaping us, can also leave us hurt, confused, numb, or insecure. It is paramount that we stop along our journey to take stock, address our needs, heal, and refocus. Sometimes, we realize we may benefit from having extra support or guidance through these moments. That is where therapy can help. Throughout my counseling career, I have had the privilege of being able to walk beside clients as they process the past, learn to be comfortable in the present, and get excited for the future. I am certified in trauma and treat clients with a wide range of concerns. Whether you feel ready to dive into therapy, or you are just contemplating the idea, I'd love to hear from you. I am currently accepting video clients for individual therapy. If you aren't ready to make contact, I have some resources available for self-reflection. Check out my blog at NotWavingButDrowning.org or my TikTok @MHMinute, where you'll find videos on a variety of mental health topics.

I am open, supportive, and honest. Sessions start with you and where you are at. We talk about your concerns and what you would like to achieve. We both then identify how to support you. I view each person as unique and have their own individual concerns/struggles.

I have been working in the field for 10 years and have been a LICSW since 2021. I believe it's important to engage actively in therapy and put in the necessary effort to make changes that will help you reach your goals. I often use humor and seem to have the ability to make people feel like they are talking to a friend...albeit a friend that is very honest, sometimes sarcastic, can challenge you, accept you, fight for you, and sometimes make you mad. Thankfully, it's all part of the process of making sustainable changes! I attended training to work specifically with law enforcement, veterans, and other first responders. I was an embedded social worker in a MN police department for 3 years. I utilize different therapeutic modalities depending on your individual needs. Some examples include: Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
