Kristine Drake, LICSW

Psychotherapist
MN
I’m a therapist who believes life’s too short to feel stuck on repeat. Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch while I silently nod — it’s about real conversations, practical tools, and a few gentle laughs along the way. I blend evidence-based approaches (CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies) with a warm, down-to-earth style so you feel safe and supported as you sort through anxiety, stress, or big life changes. My goal? Help you feel heard, understood, and equipped — and maybe even smile a little as you grow. My approach I do not practice a one-size-fits-all type of therapy; I am trained in Cognitive-Based Therapies - Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Processing (primarily for trauma), Acceptance and Commitment, and Written Exposure Therapy (WET-what an acronym, right? WET! It's a great modality, I promise! I am compassionate, direct, and whole-health oriented (basically, whatever I am dishing out, I am taking my own medicine). Let's get on to specialities. If you are looking for creative work, I am trained in Yoga Nidra, Hypnotherapy, somatic yoga work intertwined with Cognitive Therapies, and Hypnotherapy, Spiritual Healing (based on vibrational healing and energy), and Jungian Therapy (Shadow Work). Curious about psychological concepts and coping strategies through traditional therapeutic interventions? Call when you can. Looking to spark your creativity? Try a Yoga Nidra session mixed with psychotherapy, or somatic yoga healing with psychotherapy. My focus I assist adults, couples, and families in reducing anxiety, healing past wounds, and building stronger relationships. My style is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented, blending evidence-based tools with genuine care. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in daily life.
