Hi, I’m Makenna Larson! I’m a dually Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I offer down-to-earth therapy that’s compassionate, relatable, and focused on meeting you where you’re at. I specialize in grief and loss counseling, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions such as becoming a parent, starting or ending college, relationship or career changes, burnout, or navigating the loss of a loved one. My approach is trauma and grief-informed, providing a supportive space to explore your experiences. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help you process emotions with curiosity, understand your needs, and navigate change and uncertainty with flexibility. Therapy with me is a space that says ‘yes, what you’re feeling makes sense.’ I believe therapy can be a helpful resource and a brave act of self care. My goal is to help you feel capable and confident, not by changing who you are, but by reconnecting you with the strengths and wisdom already within you. If any of my words resonate with you, I’d love to hear your story and explore how I can best support you.
