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.
