Trauma & sex therapy near minneapolis, mn
let’s be honest:
You’re tired of struggling through life and are ready for change.
Your relationship(s) have felt disjointed and disconnected for too long… Things from the past just won’t stay in the past… Not knowing how to move beyond these struggles, enhance your relationship(s), or redefine them to something more exciting, peaceful, and tranquil feels daunting and hopeless.
But we can help. You do not have to face these struggles alone.
We’re here to support you with…
Increasing intimacy
Improving communication
Putting yourself first
Setting healthy boundaries
Healing past wounds
We believe you don’t have to keep settling in your life.
At InnerStrength Therapy, we understand that many people struggle with feeling unfulfilled in their relationships and lives, often settling for less than they deserve because they are unsure how to talk about it or move forward. It's a common experience, especially when past traumas and unresolved sexuality concerns have impacted self-esteem and relationship patterns.
Our therapists work collaboratively with you to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your past traumas and understand how these experiences influence your life.
Through this process, you will address your sexuality concerns, gaining clarity and confidence in expressing your desires and boundaries. Using therapy modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, other client-centered and sex-positive techniques, and trauma-informed care through Brainspotting, we help clients challenge their negative beliefs about themselves, shifting from thoughts like "I don't deserve better" to "I am worthy of a loving and respectful relationship."
You don't have to settle. Therapy can empower you to discover your inner strengths and cultivate the fulfilling life you deserve.
