What therapy looks like here
What are counseling and therapy at Lumeva Wellness?
Counseling and therapy at Lumeva Wellness means one-on-one sessions with a therapist, shaped around you rather than a script.
Your therapist starts by learning how anxiety, low mood, grief or stress actually shows up for you: what sets it off, how it feels in your body and your relationships, and what you have already tried.
From there, sessions mix honest conversation with practical, evidence-based techniques. We revisit the plan along the way, so it grows with you instead of running on autopilot.
Is it a fit?
Who can use counseling and therapy at Lumeva Wellness?
Our individual therapy Minneapolis sessions are for adults 18 and older, whether you are trying therapy for the first time or returning to it.
It may be a good fit if you:
Want practical tools, not only a place to talk
Are going through a hard stretch, a loss or a big change
Notice worry, low mood or stress that is not easing on its own
It may not be the right fit if you:
Are under 18
Mainly want a medication review (psychiatric care) or daily-living support at home (ARMHS), although therapy can pair well with both
Wondering if it is time? Dreading things you used to enjoy, or sleep and appetite changes that last for weeks, are common signs. Our guide on how to know if you need therapy can help.
Who this helps
Which concerns can counseling and therapy help with?
Therapy can help adults with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship stress, work burnout, trauma and low self-esteem.
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Relationship stress
Work burnout
Trauma processing
Low self-esteem
If you are searching for anxiety therapy Minneapolis has to offer, or depression counseling Minneapolis residents can access, the first step is the same: a conversation about what you are experiencing. You do not need a diagnosis to begin.
What to expect
What can therapy help me do?
Therapy can help you understand your patterns, build practical coping tools and work toward your own goals.
Understand your patterns
Notice what triggers difficult thoughts, feelings and reactions.
Build coping tools
Practice skills between sessions and use them in daily life.
Manage strong emotions
Learn ways to steady yourself when feelings run high.
Work through hard experiences
At a pace that feels safe to you.
The National Institute of Mental Health describes psychotherapy as treatment that helps people recognize and change troubling emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Results look different for everyone, and we do not promise a specific outcome.
Our approach
Which therapy approaches do we use?
We use CBT, DBT skills and trauma-informed care in our counseling and therapy Minneapolis sessions, and your therapist chooses, or blends, the ones that fit you.
CBT therapy Minneapolis: how does it work?
CBT helps you spot the thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression, and replace them with more accurate, workable ones.
Helps with: anxiety, worry and low mood
In sessions: you look at specific situations and how your thinking shapes your reactions
Between sessions: you try new responses and bring back what you notice
DBT therapy Minneapolis: what skills does it build?
DBT skills teach you to manage intense emotions, tolerate distress and communicate more clearly in relationships.
Helps with: strong emotions and relationship conflict
In sessions: you learn named skills step by step
Between sessions: you practice the skills in real moments
Trauma-informed therapy Minneapolis: what does that mean?
Trauma-informed therapy is a safety-first approach that lets you work through difficult experiences at a pace you control.
Helps with: the lasting effects of difficult experiences
In sessions: your therapist checks in on pace and comfort throughout
Between sessions: you use the coping skills you have built
Not sure which one fits? Your therapist will help you choose.
Getting started

After your first session
How does therapy progress after the first session?
Therapy moves forward in steps you set together: you build skills, practice them between visits and review your goals regularly.
1
Build skills
Sessions introduce concrete tools, such as reframing techniques, coping skills and communication strategies, that you practice between visits.
2
Review progress
You and your therapist revisit your goals together and adjust the focus or pace when needed.
3
Stay in control
You can ask to change direction at any time.
How long will I need therapy?
It varies from person to person, and there is no fixed timeline. Some people see meaningful change after a few months of focused work, while others prefer ongoing support for longer. You are never locked in.
What if my therapist is not the right fit?
Tell us, and we will talk through your options with you. It happens, and it is not a failure on your part.
From home or in person
Telehealth therapy Minnesota: can I attend sessions from home?
Yes. Our counseling and therapy Minneapolis sessions are available by telehealth as well as in person at our office. You can ask to mix both, for example telehealth during a busy stretch and in person when you would rather be in the room.
For a telehealth session, choose a private, quiet space with a steady internet connection.
Coverage and cost
How do I pay for therapy at Lumeva Wellness?
You can pay through your insurance plan or with self-pay, and we check your benefits before your first session at no cost to you.
The cost of counseling and therapy Minneapolis adults receive depends on your plan. Our insurance and self-pay options page lists plans and details.

Taking the first step toward counseling and therapy Minneapolis adults feel ready for can feel big. It is perfectly fine to ask us a question first.
