More About Daniel Mrotek
Clinical Interests:
I am a passionate, knowledgeable, and resilient licensed mental health professional who has worked with diverse client populations in clinical, supervisory, and managerial roles for over 15 years in the following settings: nonprofit community mental health clinics; an eating disorder clinic; a mood, anxiety, and self-injury clinic; Ecopsychology focused programming; a HIV/AIDS advocacy agency; mental health crisis/suicide phone lines and text lines; mobile crisis outreach teams; IRTS and crisis residential; and K-12 Day Treatment.
Clinical Approach:
All of us enter our own unique journey in life, and while on this journey we experience a multitude of emotions. Sometimes our sentiments are overwhelmingly difficult to express, process, and navigate. And sometimes we may not want to feel anything at all, which can manifest itself through self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. I am here to provide a comforting, open, and nonjudgmental space for people to work through, not around, parts of their journey that are distressing and painful.
I identify as a queer, cisgender therapist with extensive experience both professionally and personally within the LGBTQ+ communities of many locations, including the Twin Cities, Madison, Chicago, and Seattle. In recovery myself, I find it meaningful to work with those who may be struggling with addiction. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, personality disorders, and grief and loss. I would be honored to be a part of your journey through life and look forward to hearing from you.
Hobbies:
My personal interests include traveling the world as much and as often as possible, while still enjoying quality time at home with friends and family. I am also passionate about environmental causes, tending to plants, pets and animals in general, music and theater, being a positive member of the local recovery and LGBTQ+ communities, and enjoying all that the Twin Cities has to offer.
