Grief counselors and therapists in Minneapolis, MN

As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes.

My professional journey has been dedicated to helping people work through challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and self-esteem issues.

I understand that life transitions can be overwhelming, and I'm committed to providing compassionate, personalized support that empowers you to develop resilient coping strategies.

My approach is rooted in creating a warm, collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore your experiences and strengths.

I believe each person has unique inner resources for healing and growth. Together, we'll work to understand your specific needs, build emotional skills, and help you move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer a supportive space where you can feel heard, validated, and encouraged as you navigate your personal challenges.

My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you discover your own capacity for transformation and emotional well-being.

Grief doesn't follow anyone else's timeline, and neither does healing. I work with adults and seniors across a wide range of life experiences, with particular depth in grief, maternal mental health, anxiety, and the emotional weight of chronic or physical health challenges. As a certified Grief Support Specialist, I bring focused training to one of the most isolating things a person can go through, and I approach every person with genuine curiosity about their whole life, not just their symptoms.

My experience as a social worker, herbalist, and therapist has convinced me of the following about humans:

• we thrive on connection
• our bodies are trying to tell us what we need, we just need to learn how to listen
• connecting to nature is paramount to a high-quality, lasting healing journey
• we ALL can experience joy and live in our highest being

My background/focuses in integrative mental health (connecting the mind and body's wellness), trauma work, nature therapy, and spirituality guide our work together. I love working with folks who are ready to dive a little deeper, find purpose and meaning in life, and rewrite their story.

My day job is providing social work support in a hospital, and I have spent many years helping people navigate complex health and life challenges. Before the hospital, I worked in nursing homes, which gave me extensive experience supporting older adults and their families. I understand the realities of healthcare, substance use, and caregiving, and I strive to be a warm, nonjudgmental presence for everyone I meet. I hope you feel welcomed, heard, and treated with deep compassion.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I am here to support you with a current problem, or one you have been dealing with for years.

If you or your child has been through something painful, it can show up in ways that are hard to explain: anxiety that won't turn off, mood swings, shutting down, conflict at home, or feeling on edge even when life looks fine. I work with adolescents and adults who are tired of living in survival mode. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 3 years of clinical experience, certified in both EMDR and DBT, and I grew up in the same Minnesota community I now serve. For clients who want it, I can bring faith into our work; for those who don't, it stays out of the room.

I have been a counselor by calling most of my life but finished my official training and master’s program in 2015 from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. People often ask me why I do this work. The honest answer is, I truly believe counseling works! I have seen the darkness, and watched it turn to light. Providing a spark of hope for others is indeed a gift. There is hope for anyone and everyone, if you are willing to do the work. As believers, we also know that we are not alone in our healing. We have the great counselor in all our sessions to help lead the way. One that will never leave you or forsake you, in or out of session.

Congratulations on taking the next step to mental wellness. My name is Marita Glasgow, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

We are all given a deck of cards that are not of our choosing. When it comes to therapy, I believe we can all play our cards to the best of our ability, when taught the skills needed to succeed. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I have been providing therapy for over 5 years. My specialties in the last 2 years have focused on individuals of all ages with OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and BFRB's. I also have experience with time management, substance abuse, grief, career choices, and identity development.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Originally from Chicago, I earned my MA from University of Chicago in 1998, and since then I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including domestic violence shelters, a foster care/adoption agency, and a parenting organization as well as managing a private practice where I currently reside in North Carolina. I work with clients affected by anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma, parenting and relationship challenges.
