LGBTQIA+ & Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
You are thoughtful, capable, caring, and accustomed to finding a way through.
But lately, everything may feel like too much.
You may be overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, grief, parenting, relationship strain, sensory overload, or a life transition you never expected. Your child may be struggling with feelings or behaviors neither of you fully understands. You and your partner may keep finding yourselves in the same painful conversations. Or perhaps you have spent years adapting to a world that has not always recognized the way your mind, body, identity, or nervous system works.
You do not need to have the perfect words for what is happening.
You only need a place to begin.
There is no single way therapy is supposed to look. The right approach depends on who you are, what you have experienced, what you need, and what helps you feel safe enough to engage in the process.
Our therapists consider the whole of your experience, including your relationships, identities, strengths, nervous system, challenges, and goals, when shaping care with you.
Depending on the therapist you work with and what feels most helpful, therapy may include:
You do not need to know which approach you need before reaching out. We can help connect you with a therapist whose experience, style, and specialties feel like a good fit.
Therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest.
Our therapists show up with warmth, curiosity, authenticity, and care. We want to understand who you are, what you have lived through, what matters to you, and what you need from therapy.
You will not be expected to fit into a predetermined process. We shape therapy with you, whether you are seeking individual, couples, family, or parenting support.
Talking can be powerful. It is also not the only way people heal.
Some feelings live in the body. Some experiences are hard to explain. Some patterns become easier to understand when you can see, create, move, play, or experience them differently.
Depending on your needs and the therapist you work with, therapy may include art therapy, play therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, body-based practices, and traditional talk therapy.
There is more than one way to find insight, regulate emotions, express what you are carrying, and move toward healing.
We do not see neurodivergence as something that needs to be corrected.
We work with children, teens, and adults who are ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, gifted, twice-exceptional, sensory-sensitive, highly sensitive, creative, intense, or still trying to understand how their brain works.
Therapy may focus on reducing shame, understanding your nervous system, identifying your needs, building practical supports, and finding ways to live with greater ease and authenticity.
The goal is not to make you more acceptable to other people. The goal is to help you better understand yourself and create a life that fits.
Your identity, relationships, family, culture, community, and lived experience matter.
We are LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to culturally responsive care. Our therapists practice cultural humility and approach difference with openness, respect, and a willingness to keep learning.
We also recognize that discrimination, oppression, marginalization, and systemic harm can have a profound impact on mental health. Therapy should not ignore those realities or ask you to separate them from the rest of your experience.
You deserve a space where you do not have to minimize, defend, or explain the most important parts of who you are.
You are more than a diagnosis, a symptom, or the hardest thing that has happened to you.
Your mind, body, relationships, identity, creativity, culture, values, spirituality, and environment all shape how you experience the world.
Our therapists bring a trauma-informed and integrative perspective to concerns such as parenting, relationships, grief, neurodivergence, spirituality, life transitions, identity, and creative expression.
We help you understand how the pieces connect so you can feel more grounded, connected, and at home in your life.
You do not need to fit neatly into a category to belong here.
Our therapists work with children, teens, adults, couples, parents, and families who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, misunderstood, or unsure of what comes next.
You may be navigating:
We affirm neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, spiritual, creative, and nontraditional identities, relationships, and families.
You deserve a space where you do not have to hide, minimize, or explain the parts of yourself that matter most.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. You are not just looking for someone with the right credentials. You are looking for someone who understands what you are carrying and feels like a person you can trust.
The Art of Healing is a small, collaborative practice with therapists who bring different specialties, personalities, and ways of working. That means you have options, without feeling like you are entering a large or impersonal system.
We believe you are the expert on your own life. Our role is to listen closely, help you make sense of what is happening, and support you in creating change that feels meaningful and sustainable.
Therapy can help with symptoms, but we do not stop there. We also look at the patterns, relationships, experiences, and unmet needs beneath them so you can feel more connected to yourself and the people who matter to you.
We offer in-person therapy in Edina, Minnesota, along with secure online therapy for clients in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and California.
Availability and state eligibility vary by therapist.
You should not have to choose a therapist based on a short list of credentials alone.
Our clinician profiles can help you learn more about each therapist’s personality, specialties, approach, availability, and accepted insurance plans.
You do not need to know exactly who you want to work with before reaching out. Tell us what you are looking for, and we will help you find a therapist who may be a good fit.
