Therapists in Freeborn County, MN

I’m Dr. Tera Jansen, an AASECT certified sex therapist and psychologist. I provide individual and couples therapy across a variety of sexual health and gender concerns, as well as general mental health and relational issues. With over a decade of experience, I have developed a deep belief in our capacity for change and growth. At its most basic, my guiding goal in therapy is to aid others in finding, engaging with, and expressing their most authentic selves. Operating from a point of authenticity and self-truth can often create a clearer guide in navigating fears and hurts, making decisions, and building meaningful relationships.

I'm a licensed MFT and AASECT certified Sex Therapist, located in Minnesota and Arizona. I'll help you find grounded, positive approaches to shift your situation. Whether you're dealing with relationship frustrations or personal issues, it's difficult to wonder if things can get better - and to think you should be able to figure it out on your own. If fights with your partner go nowhere, your sex life is disappointing (or non-existent), you suffer with anxiety or depression, or you or your partner struggle with out of control sexual behavior or drug/alcohol use, I can help. I am engaged and active in sessions.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW 23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. Connection, intimacy, desire, love, and joy are the things in life that enrich our human experience. When we struggle with these, life can feel very lonely. I believe that you have endless potential, but sometimes life can get in the way. My hope is to get some of the muck out of the way so you can be your best self on any given day.

At some point in our lives, many of us look around and realize we no longer like the life we've built - or maybe even who we've become while living it. We may even feel we should like it, but somehow it no longer fits. I build relationships with clients, creating a safe place to explore and express these feelings. Therapy creates change by examining the experiences and beliefs that contribute to feeling stuck and make it harder to hear our own, often elusive, inner knowing. I love working with clients to address the issues holding them back so they can create a life and self that excites them again.

I am entering the therapy profession with a PhD in musicology, having spent the past 20 years working as a music professor, private teacher and professional musician. I find that many of the same skills apply in teaching and in therapy. My therapy education focuses on systems theory, seeing clients not only as individuals but as part of interlocking networks of family, friends, colleagues, organizations, etc. I view much of my work as helping clients to evolve in these networks in ways that support them as individuals and work for their health and, potentially, the health of those around them.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people improve their mental health. I believe that each person deserves treatment tailored to their experience and needs. In session, I help people change patterns of unhealthy thoughts or behaviors and examine meaning of life experiences. As a counselor, I am open-minded, analytical, and casual while allowing space for challenging clients to improve their lives. I practice from an informed consent perspective aimed at reducing barriers to care and emphasizing bodily autonomy. This often involves writing letters of support for medical transition services.
