Meet Dan Stokman, Catholic Therapist in the Twin Cities

As a Catholic therapist, I provide services to the greater Minneapolis and St Paul area (Twin Cities). For clients traveling a greater distance, I have flexibility to schedule longer sessions, which has proven effective for couples seeking healing to their relationship hurt. Marriage counseling is my primary specialty, but I work with clients struggling with a number of other issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, pornography addiction, and shame.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) through the state of Minnesota and a Certified Life Coach through the Adler Institute. I have been in private practice for the past ten years and have worked in several mental-health related roles and facilities.

These various work settings were not always supportive of a Catholic vision of the human person and over time created a need to work alongside other Catholic therapists.  Novare Counseling Center is a growing group practice that calls Catholic clinicians to live out their faith in solidarity with one another and to provide exceptional care to our clients.   As the Director of Novare Counseling Center, I can attest to how living in community with other professionals offers better care to my clients.  We hold high standards for our clinical work.  Being Catholic is not enough, we need to give ourselves to our work and excel in the care we provide.

My graduate studies at Franciscan University of Steubenville provided a great understanding of how to integrate the Catholic faith with the psychological sciences. I graduated in 1995 with a Masters degree in Counseling.
