Kelli Skoog, LMFT

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I focus on creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where we can explore the issues you want to work on together. I strongly believe in the healing that can come through a trusting, therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with issues related to various kinds of trauma, religious harm, spiritual/faith transitions, shame, depression, anxiety, life transitions, family and relationship conflicts, surviving childhood sexual abuse, and self-discovery, among others. I work with both individual adults and couples.

I come to this work with a rich background of life experience and professional training. I have been married for more than 40 years and have raised 2 adult children. Personally, I have benefited from the life-changing process of psychotherapy - working hard over my lifetime to heal from the effects of parental alcoholism, trauma, shame, and my own faith deconstruction. I have gained wisdom from life experiences–both successes and failures–all of which have proven to be helpful resources as I meet with people in the context of therapy. I am also committed to the ongoing personal work of dismantling unconscious/conscious biases towards race, body image, sex, gender, spirituality, and being an ally for the BIPoC and LBGTQIA+ communities.

Over the last 9 years as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have worked in a variety of settings including 2 different local group practices, with Minneapolis Public School District, and in addiction treatment. I use an integrated approach to therapy utilizing Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment Theory. I am in ongoing consult/training groups with other therapists to enhance my skill sets in these areas. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which uses bilateral stimulation to help clients heal from trauma and other chronic conditions. Additionally, through extensive training in Discernment Counseling, I can support couples in determining needs and next steps for their relationship. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, gardening, decorating, exercising, loving on my pets, and traveling to the ocean when I can. As an extrovert, I especially enjoy rich conversations and laughing with others.

It would be my honor to join you on your journey towards healing and growth.
