Getting to know Deirdre Kuvaas

I am Deirdre Kuvaas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) specializing in virtual trauma therapy for adults (ages 18-64). I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for those navigating the weight of trauma, chronic anxiety, PTSD, and substance use recovery. I am currently licensed to provide teletherapy to residents of Minnesota, Ohio, Utah, and North Dakota. My approach combines deep empathy with evidence-based, trauma-informed care. I work exceptionally well with individuals seeking to break patterns of people-pleasing, navigate addiction recovery, or address the root causes of C-PTSD. My goal is to help you move beyond just managing symptoms so you can reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me means entering a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, curiosity, and mutual respect. I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard, so I prioritize creating an environment where your story can unfold at your own pace. My style is person-centered and specialized. I don't just focus on surface-level symptoms; I help you explore the emotional roots of your struggles—whether that is Generalized Anxiety (GAD), the effects of past trauma, or difficulty maintaining sobriety. You can expect a therapist who is both a compassionate listener and an active partner in your growth, helping you move from feeling "stuck" to feeling grounded and in control of your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session is dedicated to connection and comfort. We will discuss the current challenges bringing you to therapy and outline your hopes for our work together. This is a collaborative process where we begin exploring your history while ensuring you feel safe and empowered from the start. As we progress, I integrate targeted, evidence-based approaches to ensure sustainable growth. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), which allow us to process traumatic memories and shift the beliefs that keep you stuck in old patterns. Whether we are utilizing talk therapy or specific trauma protocols, each session is precisely tailored to your unique needs and goals.
