About Susan Arvidson

As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma with compassionate, personalized care. I have extensive experience working with older adults and supporting individuals through life transitions, including divorce, separation, and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach centers on building self-love, improving communication, and addressing feelings of isolation and social anxiety. I understand the profound impact of mood disorders, personality challenges, and past experiences on one’s emotional well-being. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

I am committed to helping individuals work through guilt, shame, and complex emotional patterns, offering guidance that honors each person’s unique journey toward healing and self-understanding. Together, we can develop strategies to strengthen emotional health and create positive, sustainable change.

“Susan is a delight!”

“Susan has been attentive, patient, and kind. <br /> Highly recommend.”

“Susan is a great therapist she was very knowledgeable in what we discussed. She was helpful and I appreciated it.”

“I’ve had one session and I have felt so much better. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Susan and to develop myself further.”

“She is excellent”

“Susan is someone I barely know but the first interactions with her have gone well and she’s been persistent in reaching out even when I didn’t respond, which made me feel nice and I know that she cares. She’s honest and I’ve enjoyed working with her so far. I’ve only had one session but I felt better after it. She’s been very kind and knowledgeable, offering me solid advice and truly listening.”

“She listens well and provides good direction”

“I just adore her and she gets me.”

“I found Susan in a terrible state and was the first time I felt I could speak openly. I needed somewhere to track my thoughts, actions, feelings, and seek advice. I write and write and she will send confirming messages of support and direction. The therapy session delved deeper into what I'm facing, helping to identify my needs and alleviated many fears.”
