Couples & individuals
Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
Developed by Terry Real, RLT helps identify cycles of harmony, disharmony, and repair in relationships.
-
Understand root causes of relational disharmony
-
Build accountability and tools for genuine repair
-
Challenge limiting beliefs about relationships
Neural Integration
Adaptive Internal Relational Network (AIR-Network)
A neuro-developmental model recognizing how trauma rewires neural networks, affecting the ability to regulate emotions and form healthy relationships. By addressing these interconnected systems, clients develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others — fostering neuroplasticity and lasting integration.
Body-Based Healing
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
A gentle, body-oriented approach that helps complete the natural stress response cycle and release stored trauma.
-
Regulate the nervous system after trauma
-
Release chronic tension and anxiety
-
Develop sustainable self-care tools
Trauma Reprocessing
EMDR & Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Both use eye movements and visualization to reprocess traumatic memories. ART typically resolves issues in 1–2 sessions.
-
Effective for PTSD, anxiety, and depression
-
Reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories
-
ART offers faster resolution for some clients
Trauma & Codependency
Post Induction Therapy (PIT)
Pia Mellody's model addresses developmental immaturity rooted in childhood trauma — anything less than nurturing.
-
Break free from codependent patterns
-
Heal the connection between past and present behavior
-
Build healthier, more authentic relationships
Therapeutic Methods
Evidence-based treatments
tailored to you.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Stefanie draws from multiple cutting-edge modalities.
Through my work with Stefanie, I was able to heal some of my childhood trauma so that I could show up as a better parent and partner in my marriage.
Individual Client
She's the perfect balance of compassionate and honest. I always leave sessions feeling supported — but also challenged in a way that helps me grow.
Individual Client
Stefanie helped my husband and I heal from an affair. She shared insights we wouldn't have thought of and helped us find a path back to one another. We are more connected now than I ever thought possible.
Couples Client
From the outside, my life looked perfectly put together but internally I was overwhelmed. Stefanie helped me see that showing my real, human self to others doesn't have to be scary. That has been life-changing.
Individual Client
We were stuck in the same arguments over and over. Stefanie helped us break that cycle. The funny thing is, we both later admitted to thinking she was a bit more on our side.
Couples Client
Stefanie creates such a safe space. I never felt rushed or pressured. I feel lighter and more grounded than I have in years.

How long will therapy take?
This is determined together based on your goals — not by an insurance company. Some clients make significant progress in months; others benefit from longer-term work.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Stefanie sees clients both in-person at the Edina office and virtually via secure video. Both options provide the same quality of care.
Is what I share confidential?
Absolutely. The therapist-client relationship is protected by law. Exceptions involve mandated reporting situations involving risk of harm, explained fully at the start of treatment.
How can Therapy help me?
Therapy provides support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies. It helps you gain new perspectives, improve communication, and make meaningful changes — not just manage symptoms.
What is a free consultation?
A 20-minute Zoom or phone call to discuss what you're looking for, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit. No commitment required.
Do I really need therapy?
Everyone faces challenges. Therapy offers a professional perspective that accelerates growth and helps you understand patterns you may not even see yet.
