Best Psychologist Sexologist Minneapolis Near Me

4worldlovers: I get it. Relationships are hard. As a marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist, and experienced business leader, I help people gain insight and build skills that result in better relationships and more meaningful connections at home and at work.

Renee Divine might sound like a make-believe name, but it's real and belongs to a real live person. Me. I became a therapist after a few decades of working in finance, human resources, and advisory services. Why? Because I've always been intrigued by how we function as humans, how we relate to one another, and how we can interact and function in the most connecting and healthy ways.

If our relationships are unhealthy, we feel miserable. And, it doesn't need to be that way. So, I spend my energy helping individuals, couples, and organizations gain the skills to be emotionally and relationally intelligent in their lives. The goal: How to be relational.

I am grounded and pragmatic, yet irrepressibly optimistic. I ask tough questions. I'm authentic, caring, and am compassionately direct. With me you will get reality with a strong dose of empathy.

Being relational in Minnesota is haaard. Most of us have not been given permission or tools to embrace our emotions nor express them, but we can change that. I see folks working hard on it everyday with such great success resulting in more connection with themselves and the people that matter to them most.

4worldlovers:
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, especially around sexuality or trauma.


You’re already braver than you realize. You’re here. You’re ready for change.

Sex has so much to do with our relationships, our identity, intimacy, and connection. By the time you’ve come here, you’ve probably experienced frustration, disconnection, and fear. How could all those feelings not have an impact on your mood, relationships, and so much of life?

You are capable of strong intimate relationships with partners and, most importantly, with yourself. Whether you’re in a sexual rut or haunted by sexual trauma, you can experience more pleasure and connection in your life. I’ll guide you in discovering that authentic you that can feel and connect deeply while living radically. It’s time to break free.

You deserve to feel confident in your sexual identity and to experience sexual pleasure. Sex therapy can help you (alone or with partner-s) overcome barriers to pleasure and discover what’s possible in your erotic life.

Being lonely together isn’t the best your partnership could be. I help partners heal broken agreements, navigate life changes, and deepen intimate connections.

You are not on this earth to live in a state of guilt, shame, and fear. You’re making a bold and important step by looking for support. It’s time for the past to stay in the past.

I’m LGBTQIA+ affirmative and welcoming of people of diverse cultures. As a therapist, I’m also an ally, advocate, and seriously in your corner.

As a certified sex therapist, I specialize in helping people heal from sexual trauma, strengthen intimate relationships, and cultivate erotic pleasure. At the end of the day, there's nothing more important in life than meaningful connections.

Contact me for a free consultation to learn about my holistic approach to finding healing and pleasure.

4worldlovers: Here we go again. Shots have been fired. The same old argument. They couldn’t just let it go, could they?

You try to tell them you don’t want to fight. Next thing you know, you’re standing in the garage, whisper yelling, so the kids don’t hear you.

You’re so mad, you can feel it all over your body. Head buzzing, seeing red. How dare they say that to you? You fire back something you know will get under their skin, feeling both better and worse at the same time.

“How can we even stay together after a fight like that?” But also, “We can’t get divorced!”

For better or worse. You meant your vows when you said them. What the hell has happened to us?!

Sure, it’s been many years, and you’ve built an otherwise great life together – stable careers, lovely house, good vacations, and a few extras.

So why does it feel like they hate you? And sometimes, you kind of hate them.

You know you’re not perfect either. There are things you can change. But, at the very least, you want to feel like your spouse likes you.

The kind of love where you can’t keep your hands off each other.

Okay, maybe not quite that far, you have responsibilities now! But a new version of that.

You want to feel like you have a life partner. To enjoy what you’ve built together and feel in love again.

This is where I step in. This is marriage therapy on steroids.

First, we’ll figure out if you want to save this marriage.

Then, I’ll show you how by teaching you the stuff that works and steering you away from the stuff that doesn’t. We create strategic plans for fixing your communication, fighting, and building back your connection.

This is a solution-focused, actionable type of therapy that gets your relationship back on track so you can enjoy life again. This is not your typical couples counseling. This is effective couples counseling that offers change quickly!

If you’re ready to go from haters to lovers, from pissed off to

4worldlovers: Do you find that you are experiencing significant problems in your life related to sexuality?


Does sex get in the way in your significant relationship or keep you from entering relationships?

4worldlovers:
You've avoided coming to counseling earlier, because you just aren't used to talking about these things. However, the issue just isn't going away. Maybe you're tired of the same old arguments. Or you just feel...unfulfilled. You want a safe space to talk about the most vulnerable parts of your life. You're ready for things to get better even if it means talking about things you normally don’t talk to anyone about.


When you're looking for couples counseling or sex therapy, it's important that you see a therapist who is comfortable talking about the uncomfortable and who you feel confident can truly help. These aren't conversations you're used to having on a daily basis, much less with someone you don't know very well. But they are conversations we have everyday. As sex therapists, these conversations are normal for us. We want to normalize them for you too.


You deserve to find wholeness and satisfaction in your life again. Sex therapy and couples or marriage counseling with experienced therapists can help you do exactly that. We know what conversations need to happen and what you can try that will truly help you get unstuck and begin moving forward in all areas of your life.
