About me
Hello! I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Minnesota. I have been working in counseling for six years and have been working in the field of mental health and substance use for 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction. I have many experiences in helping those who struggle with mental health and addiction concerns. I also helped people on their healing journey that have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.
My therapeutic style is warm and engaging. My approach is always person-centered and individualized to your specific and unique needs. Some approaches I use combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic principles and mindfulness practices. For healing from trauma, I like to focus on somatic techniques and becoming comfortable with our body and mind again.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deirdre Kuvaas. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Deirdre is a great listener and doesn’t make me feel stupid for just venting when I need it. She offers a lot of great insight and educational material for me to read (because I enjoy that). She’s on time with appointments and responds quickly to messages. I really enjoy our sessions together!
