Loren Niehoff, LMFT — Therapist in Minnesota

Hi there, I'm Loren!

Entering therapy can be one of the most challenging decisions you can make. I provide a caring and supportive environment, allowing you to lead therapy in the direction you want. I genuinely care for others and bring warmth to our work together.

My focus

I work with adults facing depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, chemical abuse, addictions, and grief. I believe in your uniqueness and autonomy, assisting you to harness your personal power to overcome life's trials and tribulations.

My approach

I provide individual and family therapy to adults with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, chemical abuse/addictions, and grief. I have experience working with military personnel focusing on trauma and chemical dependency issues.

My communication style

My focus is a warm and empathetic communication style using motivational interview techniques, being confrontational at times when needed in a therapeutic capacity. Therapy is non-judgmental. You can expect a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

My story is kind of unique. I am a retired dairy farmer who went back to school in my forties because I was dissatisfied with what I was doing. Along with being dissatisfied, I was also a practicing alcoholic.

My goals for you

At the beginning of every session, we discuss what has worked or did not work towards the achievements of your goals. Through a collaborative effort, we plan and adjust treatment modalities tailored for you. Therapy is a flowing relationship from start to finish.

Our first session

The first session is typically building a relationship and gathering a history from you. We'll explore what brings you to therapy and begin to understand your unique story and goals.
