My name is Jesse Rappaport. I have an easy going style, and know that getting to know a new therapist can take some time, I try to make that easier by creating a relaxed atmosphere. One approach I use is EMDR; for treating traumatic experiences. Using EMDR for over twenty years in private practice, I am still awed by the deep transformation, and profound relief that this approach can bring. It is a privilege to witness clients unburdened of trauma becoming able to access their own internal resources, strength and healing. It is as if one's future self somehow becomes available in the present. I most often work with adults 18 +.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and under supervision to be a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My passion lies in working with adults and couples by utilizing EMDR, harm reduction, trauma-responsive care, and culturally affirming therapy to help people embrace recovery from a holistic approach. My specializations are in complex trauma, dissociation, LGBTQ individuals, neurodivergent minds, alcohol + substance use, housing instability, chronic illness, non-monogamy, self-harm, and eating disorders. I am also available to write letters for gender-affirming care.

Joy. It’s what we’re all searching for. Sometimes we need some help along the way to find it. Whether you are searching for joy for yourself, your child, or your family, we are here for you. Through a relational and compassionate approach we will help you uncover the strength and capacity that already exist within you and help you develop new skills allowing you to persevere, blossom, and thrive. We are dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults find their courage and their calm, helping parents find the most effective parenting strategies, and helping families interact with more empathy and compassion.

Therapy is a space that should welcome the full depth of our human experience, rather than just focusing on a collection of symptoms. I offer a space for you to explore and better understand the whole spectrum of your experience: ranging from your greatest strengths and joys to your greatest challenges and pains. From a place of safety and warmth, we can begin to meet whatever it is that needs to be said, felt, expressed, or understood within you.

I am here to support a wide variety of clients who struggle with anxious thoughts and a depressed mood. I especially enjoy working with those who struggle to manage ADHD symptoms. Additionally, I find joy in supporting those who may be questioning or ready to explore their sexuality or gender identity. As a therapist, I am here to help you achieve your individualized goals, in addition to feeling confident and capable in your own body.

Through the process of psychotherapy, I work together with my clients to help them: develop a better understanding of their histories, triggers and patterns in order to get unstuck and create new endings to old stories; build coping skills and capacity for resiliency in order to face stressors and fears that are blocking growth; learn to live authentically in order to create a life congruent with what matters to them. I feel passionate about my work. I always hope to help people realize their worth and competency so they can feel empowered to take charge of their lives and live with more purpose and fulfillment.

Working with people overwhelmed by trauma, depressed, anxious, or simply stuck, is a passion of mine. Why? Because I have found in both my own life & professional experience that, paradoxically, these painful areas of our life can offer us opportunity for personal growth and understanding ourselves. To be clear, this is not easy, and takes lots of courage. It's a journey, a practice, which leads to self-compassion & a healthy way to live authentically in the world. In a relationship of trust, I will support & challenge you to find your own inner wisdom, your own answers to wholehearted living.

I have a strong interest in working with people who have a history of trauma and mood disorders. I use a variety of techniques especially tailored to the individual including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and exposure therapy, as well as mindfulness and cognitive techniques (CBT). I am also certified by the Linehan Board for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Therapy offers an opportunity for personal growth and change. There are definitely times when life can seem really overwhelming. Life transitions, grief, relationships, anxiety and depression are just some of the situations that may prompt you to seek support. I can help. My approach is kind and empathetic offering guidance as you gain new perspectives and discover new ways of approaching and managing your individual challenges. I will help you discover what is getting in the way when everything you have tried hasn't worked. Things can get better. You can discover new options to foster change in your life.

Honestly, Chris is just a really cool and chill guy. This makes him so easy to open-up to. No judgement, no lectures, just progress. He is well-liked around ALL IN Therapy Clinic. After meeting him, it should be easy to see why. He's a really relaxed guy who is super easy to talk to.

I am passionate about helping you heal & grow. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental & supportive atmosphere where you can process difficult emotions, gain awareness of what keeps you in suffering, & integrate newfound insights to bring relief. I am sensitive to the ways your past experiences & future anxieties impact your present. When traumatic events or unexpressed feelings are left unattended we can become identified with these states and depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems and self-sabotage can arise. It can be difficult to make changes & overcome obstacles without support, new tools or insight.

Are you using unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with your anxiety and/or depression? Increasingly, the pressures of life, complicated relationships, traumatic events which are or feel beyond our control are leading us to problematic emotional states. Frequently, negative emotions such as shame, anger or hatred, or envy and jealousy, link to negative self-talk, dictating our feelings, thoughts and actions. I find it is usually helpful to apply a holistic approach, working with the mind/body connection which counsels attention to the present moment rather than dwelling in the past or obsessing about the future.

Life and change is hard and sometimes and it can lead us to our lowest point. I acknowledge that you are the expert in your life, and I am an expert in guiding you through your most vulnerable and painful moments while challenging you to expand your skills to assist you in creating the change you want to see in your life. Therapy helps you learn how your own mind works and create the change you are looking for in your life. Have you ever wondered " why am I like this" or " why do I react this way"? Then we should talk! Im here to support you in finding happiness and stability again.

I am a therapist dedicated to finding the best in every person and helping them help themselves. I truly believe that people do not have enough faith in themselves as experts of their own lives and have thus made it my mission to give credit where credit is due. I want to be that kind of support for everyone I help. About me: I am happily married and we have two kitties who I have fought every one of my allergies for. I've lived in the Midwest for the majority of my life but moved to Minnesota from Colorado.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life or struggling to find answers to powerful questions? I provide therapy to adults, adolescents, children, and families who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, separation, grief and loss, or you may have something that feels overwhelming to you. I create an environment of openness and acceptance where you will be able to work towards healing and growth. I believe in a strength based, client centered, family systems approach that keeps in mind the numerous events that shape our lives and how our early attachments formulate future relating.

I believe therapy to be a creative and dynamic process, one that explores and honors your inherent wisdom, expertise and intuition about life. My part in your journey is to support, encourage and sometimes gently challenge you to see clearly the truth about your history and its relationship to your current struggles. I strive to be attuned to issues of injustice including those related to: class, race, gender, sexual orientation and religious oppression. This endeavor called therapy is best served when we knit it together with mystery, stories, poetry and laughter.

I am passionate about helping people live an authentic life free of the suffering that comes from trauma, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. I use a variety of modalities to determine how your past has defined and directed your life so that together we can create a new narrative for healthy living. If you want to get beyond the pain and begin to live life more fully, I would feel honored to work with you in this transformation.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues? Do you notice that past experiences seem to impact your life now in ways that create blocks or difficulty? Have you experienced recent loss or a stressful life change? Psychotherapy is a powerful resource to help restore direction and balance as well as facilitating self-understanding and emotional healing. Exploring and understanding who you are and how you became who you are is part of achieving desired change and growth. I bring 30+ years of experience, training, compassion and commitment to this collaborative and relational process.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Facing sexual challenges that seem insurmountable? I work with individuals and couples facing sexual and relationship issues. Therapy provides people an opportunity to learn about their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and to develop healthier skills for coping with difficulties and painful experiences. I work mostly with emotional and physical disconnection, parenting style conflicts, life transitions, loss of sex drive, and differing libidos. I am a Certified Sex Therapist by AASECT.
