I think Matthew could be a great therapist, but unfortunately I found him to be very unprofessional…read moreas a business owner. Our first session, the front door was locked and we waited outside in the cold a long time before another business owner let us in to the building. Matthew was unable to even give us an estimate of how much the sessions would cost through our insurance until after we had completed 3 sessions and missed our FSA deadlines, and he has no way of notifying you of appointments. No call, no email, no text reminder, not even a paper card. In my experience it felt like he was happy saying we had something on the books and charging for it without any notification and that was super disappointing. He also did not return my call about this issue. I would warn folks to steer clear of this "practice."

They refunded $1045. $4900 divided by 30 days =$163.33 / day. $163.33 times the 7 days I was there comes to $1143.31. The 23 days that I did not stay comes to $3756.59.

Kalli has been my therapist for several years. She is undeniably one of the very best I have ever…read moreworked with. She has never judged me and has always treated me with respect and dignity. Originally I talked to her for recurrent depression and relationship problems. It was exceptionally helpful. She listened and empathized with how I was feeling, and then very gently and respectfully helped me challenge some of the beliefs I had about myself and other people. She never told me what to do with my relationship. I never felt like she had an agenda. Instead she helped me figure out for myself what I wanted, allowing me to own the process and the results. She patiently listened to endless internal debates, and when I ultimately decided not to continue the relationship she was supportive. My depression improved drastically and I was able to reduce the sessions to every six weeks or so. Kalli has never pressured me to schedule more sessions than I need, but she has always been willing to make more time for me when I do need it. I recently had a very traumatic event and Kalli has been unbelievably helpful. She's kept me from going completely crazy. She's been willing to schedule extra sessions as I've needed them. She's patiently listened to my story over and over. She has offered guidance and advice when I ask, but is never pushy. Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. It takes a good match between the personality of the therapist and the client. Kalli has been perfect for me. She is calm, kind, respectful and knowledgeable. She is very empathetic and non-judgemental. I'm very grateful that I get to work with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

We found the constant reframing throughout the process to be deeply frustrating and, at times,…read moreemotionally harmful. Concerns about unequal treatment, broken trust, and unresolved hurt were repeatedly redirected toward reconciliation, acceptance, and our willingness to move forward relationally. Over time, this created a dynamic where it felt like the burden increasingly shifted onto us to "get past" issues that we did not believe had actually been repaired. Instead of feeling supported in working through the underlying problems, we often left conversations feeling misunderstood, minimized, or blamed for not being ready to normalize relationships that still felt fundamentally unresolved. Looking back, we wish we had understood earlier that the process was less neutral mediation and more relationally oriented advising. That distinction materially affected the experience and outcome for us. For people navigating deep family-business conflict, favoritism, exclusion, or longstanding trust issues, I would strongly encourage getting very clear upfront about whether the goal is accountability and structural repair first, or reconciliation and acceptance first. Those are very different approaches, and in our case that difference mattered a great deal.

I went to Cara a few years ago at her home and did not continue as i got overwhelmed by my mother's…read moremoving into dementia and no insurance due to unemployment for thee years. In november of 2019, i called and found out that anim cara therapies had moved to bloomington ave. Although Cara was not accepting new clients she matched me with Fanny Miller who seemed to be a great fit. At this time, I was suffering from veritigo and balance issues (i fell and broke things twice) and degenerative disc disease. I have a very difficult time with stairs and need accessible entrances. The front of Anim Cara is straight up steps in the winter and very slippery. The back has a walk in entrance but I was told that I was not allowed to use it, as to enter the screened porch, I would have to walk through the sunroom which was Cara's office. I was brought over to a side stair the second appt. and it made me climb up and walk over a slippery, uneven, unrailed and icy roof of the front porch. Fanny tried to arrange around Cara's appts and therapy groups but Cara said no. Fanny then transferred our appts to Sabathani Community Center where she works with a non-profit. it was sterile, unwelcoming and i ended up tripping on a rug in the entryway and only a hard cement floor hurting my knee. Also the accessible ramp at Sabathani was not salted and very icy pretty much all three times i went to appts. I give ONE star. I love what they do at AnimCara, but they are elitist ableists. It Saddens me. All of this I had to deal with will my mother was dying and my husband going through a medication reaction that caused kidney failure. It caused me PTSD, feelings of rejection and isolation, feeling victimized and excluded due to health issues. Anim Cara is NOT accessible because they say they don't have to be by law due to their size . Great for them. How about morally and ethically changing your phyisical manifestion to match what you SAY you represent?

Where do I even start? I was referred here by a friend who said Anam Cara would be perfect for my…read moretrauma recovery. I was set up with Kara Vangen, whose bio on the website reflected that she'd had "years" of practice with PTSD patients and specialized in PTSD recovery. (Though I think she's edited some of that out since I brought to her attention that she's useless when it comes to meeting with PTSD sufferers face-to-face.) Here's what the owner of Anam Cara said when connecting me with Kara: "I think you and Kara will be a good fit for working together. As I shared with you she has 30 years experience working in community mental health and can offer you an experienced and compassionate approach for working with your PTSD symptoms and trauma. " I saw Kara three times. She's quite meek and if you share an intense experience, you'll likely see from her body language that she's uncomfortable and overwhelmed. If you have serious trauma and talk about it in a candid way, you'll likely end up feeling burdensome -- like Kara is doing you a favor by listening, despite her obvious discomfort. She had no idea what to do/say to me. I felt like I had to take her hand and conduct the therapy session on my own because her personality flatlined around me. Yeah, I'm intense.... but I'm intense because I've suffered extreme traumas that Kara was supposed to help me work through. When we met for the third time, Kara told me she felt unequipped to work with me. I have too much trauma, she said, for her level of experience. So basically I poured my heart out and retraumatized myself by going over my history of sexual assault, only to be turned away by someone whose bio proclaimed that she specialized in PTSD. She admitted during that last session that she's only been a practicing therapist for a couple of years, so don't be fooled by her exaggerated credentials. This was an extremely distressing experience for me. I'm familiar with being seen as "too much," but the last place I expect to get that feedback is in a trauma therapist's office. I cried and stewed in self-hatred for a while. I felt hopeless and unworthy or incapable of getting help. Kara didn't give me any referrals, so I finally returned to my old DBT therapist who shook her head when I told her what happened and happily reinstated me as a client. Anam Cara is a new age, woo-woo joke. If you want to sit in a circle and pretend to be a white witch with some pseudo-professionals, perhaps this is the place for you. But if you're looking for a qualified PTSD therapist, run for your life. After turning me away, Kara sent me a bill for our three sessions and then turned me over to collections. She made no effort to directly contact me about the financial aspect or my mental health status after our final session. Instead, she let collections do the talking. If I were Kara and I turned someone away on my own volition, I would swallow that cost and chalk it up to my own therapeutic inadequacies. But nope, Kara is incompetent AND greedy! If you want to feel like an incurable crazy person, contact Kara. If, however, you're looking for a therapist with tough skin and the proper credentials, contact Rachel Rippel at Minnetonka Counseling. She's rad.
