My name is Tobias (He/Him/His). I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Utah with 13 years of professional work experience.
I have clinical experience in helping clients with all sorts of challenges in life such as, coping with disabilities (especially with hearing loss and cerebral palsy), managing depression, intimacy related issues (more than the one type of intimacy that most people think of), overcoming less-effective coping strategies, life changing events, relationship issues, & stress and anxiety to name a few.
My therapeutic approach follows evidence-based therapeutic interventions, which include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered/Strengths Based, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Emotion Regulation Skills System.
I have many roles in life, in addition to being a therapist, I was born in the United States, I am white, and an English speaker. I have a minor disability since birth. I am a son and a brother in a blended family. I am also an advocate, a father, a friend, a mentor, a student of life, as well as a teacher by heart.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion regardless of your background, BIPOC, creed, disability, LGBTQIA+, alternative lifestyle, or religion. I also strive to be culturally affirming and respect the positive elements that all cultures can provide to a client's sense of well-being. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
