Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


Hello, my name is Stephanie Koslowski, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota. I bring a lifetime of experience and wisdom to my work and have been counseling people for many years. I have extensive experience serving diverse populations and working with clients from a wide range of cultural, religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, including Native American, African American, Asian, and Latino communities.

Throughout my career, I have worked with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship concerns, substance use, and other difficult life experiences. My clinical training included a strong focus on trauma treatment and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and my background includes work in domestic violence services, community mental health, and other social service settings. These experiences have shaped my belief that every person deserves to feel respected, understood, and supported in therapy.

Making the decision to seek help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking this first step! My practice is person-centered and grounded in values of empathy, compassion, and resilience. I strive for my clients to feel heard and validated.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rochester

Searching for therapists in Rochester starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A Rochester therapist may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to discuss. Reading bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Rochester, local office options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can add more choice while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Minnesota. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and approaches care.

Therapy in Rochester, MN can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review their profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
