Becky Lawyer (she / her)

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin. I am also trained EMDR therapist. In addition, I specialize in treating grief and loss. I am a Certified Grief Informed Professional, and a suicide loss bereavement specialist. My clinical approach is shaped by my training in several research-based therapies with specific attention to your individual needs, values, and goals. I frequently draw from mindfulness-based approaches (i.e. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), relational focused modalities (Interpersonal Psychotherapy) and trauma base modalities (EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ). As a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIAP+ affirming therapist, I am committed to life-long personal and professional learning and to developing an individualized treatment plan that will support you in accomplishing your therapeutic goals.

I believe that one of the bravest things a person can do is to explore and understand their own story. I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients and partner with them as they deepen their understanding of their story. I believe that as humans we are hardwired for connection, safety and growth. I provide a therapeutic space that is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental. A therapeutic space that can help people learn to trust and accept nourishment within a relationship where they feel understood and can grow. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and relational; therefore, you can expect me to bring authenticity, collaboration, acceptance, and humor to my sessions. Outside of my work as a therapist, I volunteer with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
