Paul Schuster, MSW
Psychotherapist
“You’re more than the sum of your symptoms. You can’t be reduced to a diagnosis. Rely on me to help you leave each session feeling accepted and understood. The immediate—and often central—aim is that you feel seen, heard, and appreciated.”
About Me
I understand how vital it is to find a space where you truly belong. My practice prioritizes creating an environment where you can freely share your experiences. Here, every part of your story is met with genuine interest and deep respect. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking a safe haven to explore their thoughts. You will always feel heard and appreciated. My aim is that you leave each session feeling understood and more connected to yourself.
Approach
Belonging in therapy starts with practical, paced collaboration: we set clear goals together and attend to what matters most in your life, letting the session follow your immediate needs while also tracking patterns over time. I meet clients in Minneapolis and via secure online sessions, keeping each meeting grounded, timely, and accessible. Sessions blend focused conversation, coping-skill work for anxiety and mood shifts, and relational exploration so insights translate into everyday choices. People navigating transitions, relationship strain, or persistent worry often find this steady, respectful pace helpful.
