Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am here to tell you that you are enough. I can help you through EMDR and family-of-origin work to help uncover and rebuild the life patterns that may not be serving you well. Sometimes these patterns show up as Anxiety. Sometimes these patterns show up as depression. Sometimes you know or suspect you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Does it feel like sometimes you just keep looking for words describing what's wrong with you?
Diagnoses are not you. You're not broken. I can help you build the life you want to lead.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
For more than 33 years, I’ve worked with adults whose lives have been shaped by experiences that were overwhelming, prolonged, or carried alone for a long time. Many are thoughtful, highly responsible people who have learned to keep going, even when something inside feels stuck, numb, or on edge.
This often includes early family dynamics that were never named as “trauma,” but still live in your body and relationships. When these kinds of experiences are ongoing or rooted in early life, they are often described as complex trauma, C‑PTSD, or developmental trauma.
Difficult or frightening experiences can also arise from single incidents or periods of crisis, such as medical trauma, accidents, or other shocks. These experiences may or may not meet criteria for PTSD, but they can still leave a lasting imprint.
These experiences can influence how you understand yourself, how you move through relationships, and how your nervous system responds to daily life. You may notice changes in mood, concentration, or energy. Some people feel constantly on alert, others shut down, and many move between the two. For some, there is a clear “before and after” in their life; for others, there is a quieter sense of having experienced more than most people realize.
In our work together, we focus on building safety and softening the impact of trauma, including PTSD and C‑PTSD, on your daily life. We pay close attention to how it impacts your body, nervous system, and relationships and to the patterns and roles that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting or costly. We move at a pace that respects your capacity and what feels possible right now, with an emphasis on choice and partnership throughout the process.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

Healing the Roots of Trauma
Whether you have experienced a single overwhelming event or years of chronic stress (complex trauma), we provide a safe, regulated environment where you can finally begin to process and release the weight of the past.
Our Specialized Trauma Tools
Traditional talk therapy can sometimes reach a plateau when it comes to trauma. That is why we utilize advanced, "bottom-up" neurological approaches that work directly with the brain’s survival centers:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A gold-standard treatment that helps the brain "reprocess" traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical pain.
Brainspotting: A powerful method that uses your field of vision to find where trauma is held in the subcortical brain, allowing for deep emotional release and healing.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Focuses on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, giving you the skills to manage "triggers" in your daily life.
Youth-Focused Trauma Care (Ages 10+): We use specialized interactive software to help children and teens express and process difficult experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
Our Collaborative Healing Process
We never rush the trauma process. You are the leader of your journey, and we are your expert guides.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Trauma and PTSD can impact how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how safe the world feels. You may experience hypervigilance, shutdown, reactivity, or patterns that feel hard to change. My approach is somatic and trauma-informed, meaning we work gently with your nervous system to build a sense of safety, regulation, and capacity before processing deeper experiences. Healing happens at a pace that your body can sustain.

Minneapolis has a progressive mental health culture with a high density of therapists, and the city saw sharply increased demand for trauma processing and grief work following the murder of George Floyd and the social upheaval of 2020. The city has a large Somali immigrant community as well as significant Native American, Hmong, and East African populations, with strong demand for therapists who specialize in refugee trauma, cultural adjustment, and identity. Minneapolis winters are long and severe, and therapists with experience in seasonal affective disorder and winter-related depression serve a real clinical need. Hennepin Healthcare and the University of Minnesota Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
