Lauri Ink

Psychotherapist, MA, JD

I have a warm and compassionate client-centered approach. I will support you to develop and maintain meaningful, intimate connections, get through stuck points, and to live authentically, at peace, and comfortable with what is inside you. We all have the natural tendency to grow and heal given the right conditions. My goal is to be a steadying, nonjudgmental presence alongside you in your healing journey. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is critical to therapy, and I will prioritize developing emotional safety and trust in our relationship. Some of my areas of interest include depression, anxiety, addiction, burnout, chronic illness, life transitions, relationship problems, stress management, and self-esteem. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am both trained and currently obtaining certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based approach to couples counseling. I also have many years of experience in the corporate world, and understand the stresses of trying to find work-life balance, navigating personality conflicts, work overload, communication challenges, and engaging in complex problem solving. These are additional areas of interest for me.

I have called the Twin Cities home for 16 years. I have a background in dance and athletics and believe strongly in the connection between mind and body. I enjoy spending time outdoors and keeping my cat out of trouble.

I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling & Psychological Services at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and am working towards licensure under the licensed supervision of Dr. Cliff Buhl.
