Trauma and PTSD therapists in Eagan, Minnesota MN
Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, can't relax, or struggle to trust people, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats trauma and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

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.

Amanda Stranko
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Many clients I have seen over the past 6 years have gone through some level of trauma in their lives. In our work together, we have identified the traumatic event, the areas that are impacted as a result, and work through ways to address that trauma.

Trauma and PTSD can cause pain that permeates into many aspects of our lives. I utilize CBT as well as EMDR to help clients navigate these difficulties while holding a wam, non-judgemental, and compassionate space.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Sara Smith
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Trauma comes in many forms, can be "Big T" or "little T" traumas, and come from events we experienced years ago or just yesterday. I use a variety of approaches, including EMDR and IFS, to help my client process and heal from difficult or traumatic situations.

I greatly value research and provide the most up-to-date treatments for trauma and PTSD. In particular, I provide Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (both that have the most research support for them). This means that you will feel better faster and be able to get back to your life.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
You haven't necessarily experienced any overt signs of trauma that you often see talked about on social media. But something still feels off because you experienced emotional disconnect and frequent ruptures in your childhood relationships because your parents we really hard on you or withheld love and affection if you didn't perform up to their standards. Nowadays, you're often left feeling like you have to be perfect so you aren't rejected or abandoned by people in your life. If someone doesn't text you back quick enough or your friend is less available now that they've started dating someone new you interpret that as you not being not good enough. If this is you, know that there isn't anything wrong with you. These are perfectly valid feelings to have as a human who longs for connection and belonging. This can be worked through with the help of someone who knows what it's like to be in your shoes and who has the knowledge and experience as well. If you want to learn how to be more compassionate with yourself, soothe your fear of rejection, and learn how to express your needs without fearing your relationships will come crashing down if you share how you feel, then reach out to me and we can talk through how to help you get there.
