Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota

I work with motivated, insightful, Millennial and Gen Z women who want to understand themselves and their pasts. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings so that they can become more self-aware and cope with mental illness, instability, upheaval, or change. As a Millennial or Gen Z woman, you may be grappling with questions about your identity and the meaning of life. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety or navigating through life changes such as graduating from college or moving to a new city. You may have also received a recent ADHD diagnosis, and it turns out that all those years of suffering from irritability, poor concentration, and indecision weren't just depression. Whether anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, depression, or all of the above are getting in the way of you feeling healthy, empowered, and resilient, therapy can help you live a more balanced life.

Se habla Español! If you're a burnt out parent, an over thinker, consistently getting in your own way, unable to create new habits, a worrywart, someone who experiences big feelings, or someone with an unmanageable inner critic... You can keep coping the way you are OR we can upgrade the system! Our lively, challenging, encouraging providers at ElevateEQ Health can't change who your boss or manager is and they can't tell your in-laws to stop being critical or judgmental. However, they CAN help you identify the goals, words, boundaries, and actions you can use to communicate with others and improve your life experience.

I help women live empowered lives. Conquer anxiety and stress, and ease your chattering mind. Let's reprogram the unconscious patterns that keep you second-guessing yourself. College is hard enough, it's time to choose you and get some help. Book an appointment today. P.S. We can meet in-person or online.

I also work online with Zoom. Students who struggle with fitting into a new place ( university, dorm or work or friend group) find validation and support.

Exploring sexual identity, and attitudes is assisted by supportive acceptance and use of cutting edge therapeutic methods that are life changing. I am described as kind, gentle and emotionally generous by clients. I offer natural, flexible counseling methods and non-judgemental support.People tell me that they feel like they are coming in to talk with a great listener friend, who is caring , helpful and resourceful . I have been honored by participating in many people's experience of healing and am inspired about the future I see people creating for themselves. I have confidence from repeated experience that meaningful changes happen during counseling. The amazing secret is that when you chose to accept yourself as you are and treat yourself respectfully, that is when change is most likely to happen. Although I am experienced with holistic and natural alternatives to medication, I also work with traditional methods. Our relationships and frame of mind have a strong effect on our health and body.I routinely hear that longstanding physical problems are healed during counseling. Life is hard. We are all strong in our own way and have had times in our lives when life was easier and coping with difficulties came more smoothly. We will seek to clarify what is important, and what fits best for you. Finding blame isn't helpful so we look for solutions instead. Counseling includes support, guidance, exploring options, and creating a way to incorporate previous strengths with new realities. I have had my own life crises so I work from a warm understanding of difficulties in life. Your needs and wants will be a major part of this process.

Hi, I'm Todd — a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with clients navigating the unique pressures of academic and professional life. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in scientific and academic settings myself, which gives me an insider's understanding of the perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and identity questions that often come with life in these environments. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients, high-achieving and gifted individuals, and folks who don't fit the "traditional student" mold — people returning to school later in life, career-changers, or anyone who's ever felt out of step with the timeline they thought they were supposed to follow. Whether you're questioning your identity, wrestling with the gap between your achievements and how you feel inside, or trying to figure out who you are outside of being "the smart one," I want to help you find more ease and authenticity in your own story. My approach is person-centered and strength-based — I believe you're already carrying the answers, and my job is to help you find them without judgment, jargon, or pressure to perform. I'd be glad to talk with you.

I specialize in trauma recovery and EMDR for high‑achieving individuals who look successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in painful patterns on the inside. My work focuses on helping people understand and heal the deeper experiences driving overthinking, people‑pleasing, emotional shutdown, and unhealthy coping strategies. In our work together, we slow things down so you can understand what’s happening beneath the surface. I integrate EMDR, parts work, somatic awareness, and practical coping strategies to help you process what’s been overwhelming and build new ways of responding. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and direct. I’m engaged in the process with you — not a “sit and nod” therapist — and I bring humor into the room when it helps lighten the load. Clients tell me they feel safe, understood, and challenged in a way that helps them grow. They appreciate having a space where they don’t have to hold everything together and where they can be honest without feeling judged.

You're the one everyone counts on. You show up, you achieve, you hold it together — and somewhere underneath, you're exhausted and not sure why nothing feels like enough. Maybe you grew up translating for your parents, managing everyone's emotions, or learning early that needing things was inconvenient. Maybe you've never called any of that trauma, because it just felt like life. I work with high-achieving adults, adult children of immigrants, and couples who are tired of functioning well and feeling terrible. Together we get underneath the coping — the overworking, the people-pleasing, the hyper-independence — and into what your nervous system has been carrying all along. My approach is warm and direct. I'll reflect back what I notice, ask the harder question, and hold space for the parts of your story that don't have easy language yet. I use Brainspotting and EMDR alongside talk therapy, because some things live in the body and can't be reasoned through. I'm Surabhi Jagdish, LMFT-S, with over 12 years of experience. I see clients virtually across Minnesota, Texas, and Colorado.

I know how hard it can be to admit that something isn’t working anymore, and I don’t take lightly the courage it takes to look inward. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable people who appear to be holding it all together, while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they are becoming in this season of life. I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, grief/loss, caregiving roles, chronic illness or health-related stress, and those that are in the quiet in-between moments where things just feel heavy or unclear. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to have the “right” words, a clear goal, or a polished story. You don’t have to perform or justify your feelings to be understood. My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. I ask thoughtful questions, offer genuine validation, and help you make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. Sometimes that looks like building practical skills you can use right away; other times it means slowing down and creating space for insight, grief, or clarity to appear. Bodywork and somatic healing are welcome here. Humor is welcome here too, because healing can be meaningful AND human. I often think of my role as walking alongside you: part steady guide, part enthusiastic supporter as you find your way forward. We will focus on what matters most to you, honoring your values, strengths, and lived experience rather than trying to “fix” or pathologize you. I strive to create a space that feels grounding, safe, and real. One where you can show up as you are and feel supported. If you’re feeling hesitant but curious, unsure but hopeful, you’re already doing something brave. You don’t have to do the rest alone.

Life can be stressful and having a safe, non-judgmental place to explore worries, fears, and relationships is so important. Finding a therapist that is a good fit is important as well. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients since I began my career as a therapist over 23 years ago. In my private practice I currently see individuals age 18+ and I have a few unique specialties: overwhelmed women, perfectionism, burnout, workplace mental health and super commuters or road warriors and/or their spouses. I am a LGBTQIA+ ally and am currently conducting sessions, therapy and coaching, in-person and via telehealth. Individuals may choose to focus on how perfectionism or overwhelm are impacting their lives, self-esteem, relationships, career dissatisfaction, or motherhood. Decreasing fear of failure is a useful goal in these scenarios as is exploring how any of these issues might relate to feelings of anxiety and depression. For the road warrior or their partner, I can help navigate the unique challenges, stressors, and benefits of this type of relationship. I also offer coaching sessions for clients on a variety of topics including but not limited to: deciding whether to embark on a super commute or accept a job that involves frequent travel; career change/job search; strategies for maintaining a strong relationship despite being apart; strategies for marketing a book; and how to use writing to increase your visibility in the world. In addition, I speak on a regular basis on a variety of topics including burnout, workplace mental health, leadership & empathy, perfectionism, and road warrior wellness.
