Kathleen Sullivan

She/Her/Hers

Kathleen is a compassionate, creative, collaborative therapist who listens deeply, and inspires you to engage your healthiest thinking and take action towards the positive changes you desire. I connect with your personal and cultural strengths, and your creativity. We may use song-writing, art, puppetry, and Nguzu Saba and other cultural practices to promote self-expression and growth.

Navigating the world can be exhilarating and challenging. I am passionate about supporting you in thriving, not just surviving! I am here to listen, to care, to celebrate your joys and support your struggles. I am honored to support you and your identity, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, teens through elders, with and without disability. I will affirm your personal and cultural strengths, and cultural ways of healing and growing. I encourage and empower you as you embrace your strengths, engage meaningfully, and live your life authentically.

My work is strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I take a wholistic view; we are whole people, who are shaped by intersecting identities, realities, and influences. I draw on creative modalities like Sandtray/art/music/roleplay, as well as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I facilitate a group for those who are contemplating retirement, a life transition that goes smoother with emotional and social preparation. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Both are helpful to ameliorate the negative impacts of trauma, or to help you release unwanted patterns in daily life.

Over the last 20 plus years, I have worked in a variety of settings – medical, educational, disability advocacy, and mobile crisis. I will connect you to community resources that will best fit your needs and values. When not at work, I can be found enthusiastically bike-commuting through Minneapolis in all weather, as well as gardening, hiking, traveling, and Irish dancing.
