starhaus Psychotherapy
welcome
From the beginning, humans have been drawn to look upward toward the light of the stars in the night sky; since pre-history we’ve been relying on them for guidance, to allow us to explain the unexplainable. In therapy, we learn to look inside ourselves and around us toward our community for meaning-making.
Hi, I’m Lauren and I’m glad that you have found StarHaus Psychotherapy. We are a Minneapolis based psychotherapy practice specializing in treating a variety of mental health concerns using symbol and ritual. One of the most important things to know about StarHaus and the way we practice therapy, is that we firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life. YOU know yourself and your community best. So our role in the therapeutic relationship will be to help you locate and utilize the wisdom already within and around you.
“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”

Our Therapy
Style
At StarHaus, our therapeutic style is influenced by psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness based approaches to healing. We enjoy working with people to address topics like:
This work can happen through an examination of your childhood experiences, exploring the subconscious through dreams and symbols, and learning and practicing concrete tools to help with healing.
A key component to therapy practice at StarHaus is in developing a collaborative, compassionate, and authentic therapeutic relationship with clients. Our goal is to have StarHaus be a safe place, where we will assist you in exploring the past, creating peace in the present, and feeling hope for the future.
We provide queer affirmative therapy, which means that you will encounter a loving and open environment here, where your identity is honored and celebrated.
An essential part of the way we work with clients involves exploring the influence of culture, identity, and systems of oppression on overall wellbeing.
