Counseling for adults Minneapolis

Our Approach

We emphasize a relational and trauma-informed approach to therapy that’s focused on your emotions, and how they surface in context. This framework has many benefits as it puts your unique personality, perspective, and real-world behaviors first. With that deeper understanding, we can discover the right therapeutic methods together, to achieve palpable results based on your strengths.

Finding Your Path

At LynLake, you’ll find an experienced, inclusive, compassionate team of providers ready to help all people on their path to healing and wellness. We take a holistic approach based on people as individuals with complex histories and circumstances, so that we can address the real issues you’re facing. No matter where you are on your journey, we’re here to guide you to finding your path toward a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

Focused On Your Whole Self

  • Focused on You - Relational

    Your journey is unlike anyone else’s, and it belongs to you. We work in collaboration with you to discover an individualized healing plan that can best serve your path to realizing your authentic self. Our relational approach is designed to account for and celebrate the many social and personal factors that make you who you are.

  • Focused on Emotions - Psychotherapy

    Part of our relational approach is a process of uncovering and acknowledging your emotions and tracing the experiences that give rise to them. Mapping the behaviors and thought patterns that stand in the way of healing empowers you to take your story into your own hands and live your truth on your own terms.

  • Focused on Results – Integrative Services

    Finding the healing plan that best suits you can involve a range of other creative, strengths-based therapies. A narrative approach can reintegrate your history by incorporating personal triumphs and virtues. An existential approach can dissipate anxiety and negative thinking by establishing new ways to create your own meaning. An Internal Family Systems approach can help you identify and express parts of self to integrate a cohesive identity. And for couples, non-violent communication and Imago therapy can help repair relationships. These and other methods can provide practical resources for change.
