Scott Seres

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and relationship issues. In our sessions together, my role is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to explore what matters most. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and based on the truth that everyone has the capacity for healing and growth.

Get clear on what's keeping you stuck and what you want your life to stand for. We'll practice skills for handling difficult emotions, quieting the inner critic, and responding to yourself with more kindness. Step by step, we'll turn your values into actions you can carry into everyday life.

Warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. They say I listen closely, ask questions that help them see things in a new way, and am honest in a way that feels caring rather than critical. Many tell me our sessions feel like a safe place to slow down and be fully themselves.

Feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-criticism, or shame and are ready to relate to their inner experience differently. I often work with adults navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and the stress of uncertainty, including individuals and families affected by displacement or immigration-related stress.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked at The Center for Victims of Torture, where I saw how healing becomes possible when people feel truly heard and supported. That experience showed me the power of compassion in the face of deep pain, and I wanted to spend my life helping people find their way back to themselves.

I'm a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) at Rise Therapy in Minneapolis, offering sessions both in person and via telehealth. My work is grounded in ACT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, and I tailor each session to the person in front of me. I see individuals and couples, and I welcome clients of all backgrounds.
