Your Authentic Self is Welcome Here.
Individual and couples therapy in-person in Minneapolis, and virtually throughout Minnesota, Texas, and all participating PSYPACT States*.
On the outside, your life looks pretty dang perfect. Others say you have it all together. But if everything “on paper” is great, why do you feel scrambled on the inside?
Maybe you’re trying desperately to find some control in your life, and on the way, noticing some pretty intense thought loops that go around and around in your mind without end (hi obsessive thoughts that live rent-free in your mind!).
Maybe you’re someone that has experienced a trauma (ranging from the small day-to-day traumas that impact us on a more frequent basis, all the way to those larger traumatic events) and isn’t sure how to move forward in life.
Maybe you’re in a romantic relationship that feels stalled due to communication issues, sexual differences, traumas, or unmet needs.
Maybe you’re just trying to reconnect with yourself: as a sexual being in a world that wants to deprive you of pleasure, a human who is more than just the multiple roles you carry, or a person who no longer wants to be the one who gives (and gives. and gives.) to others without receiving in return.
If you are any (or all!) of these people, I am here to help you stop putting your mental health on the back burner, and start the therapy journey.
Hi, I’m Dr. Kate Winderman, licensed psychologist based in Minneapolis.
Starting the therapy journey can be intimidating and confusing, but I’m a big believer that if you can name it, you can tame it. I am here to help you disentangle those overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

Therapy for Anxiety, OCD, and Phobias
Those endless thought spirals are so deeply consuming. You feel tension in your body, have difficulty being present in the beautiful life you’ve built, and no matter how much you try, you can’t. stop. worrying. Therapy can help you slow down, understand your deeper emotions, and reconnect with your life.
-
Couples and Relationship Therapy
You’ve tried everything, yet your relationship feels like it’s at a standstill. Your fights feel like lather, rinse, repeat, and you are getting nowhere. You feel disconnected emotionally and sexually, and this relationship is not meeting your needs like it used to. Couples therapy can help you finally have a space to dive deep and make change.
-
Sex Therapy for Women
You can see a future where you are a fully embodied person with a fulfilling sex life, but something is holding you back. Layers of sexual shame, anti-queer messaging, religious or sexual trauma, or lost desire are keeping you from living the life you want to live as a sexual being. Sex therapy is a talk therapy approach that can help you uncover, and ultimately heal, these deep wounds.

Individual Therapy
You carry so many roles and responsibilities, and your mind sometimes feels like a ball of tangled yarn. Individual therapy can be the one place where you can express all that you are feeling, and begin to disentangle this yarn thread by thread in a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
You might be feeling like your problems aren’t a “big deal,” or that you don’t deserve to take up space in therapy.
You’re not alone in having those thoughts. Many of my clients are high-functioning humans who feel like they should have it all together, but on the inside, are struggling to get through each and every day. Your pain is real and valid, and you don’t have to do anything to “earn” your right to engage in self-care.
Therapy is a space where you can reconnect to, or discover for the first time, your most authentic self. Away from the noise, the damaging cultural messages, and the endless obligations.
