Compassionate, Personalized Therapy at Skeleton Key Counseling

At Skeleton Key Counseling, we are deeply passionate about helping individuals and families who feel stuck rediscover hope and move forward with confidence. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and we strive to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood from the very first conversation. Our mission is to walk alongside you as you work toward the meaningful, lasting changes you want to see in your life.

We believe therapy is most effective when it is truly personalized. Together, we will develop a thoughtful plan tailored to your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. Using a compassionate, person-centered approach, we focus on meeting you where you are while gently supporting growth at a pace that feels right for you.

Our team includes therapists with specialized experience working with military veterans, first responders, and individuals navigating OCD and anxiety-related challenges. We understand that these experiences can carry unique pressures and stressors, and we are committed to providing informed, respectful care that honors your story and supports your path toward healing and resilience.

We proudly serve clients throughout the East Metro and greater Twin Cities area with in-person therapy, and we offer secure telehealth services for clients anywhere in Minnesota.
