About

To introduce myself, my name is Darrin Krenz and I live in the greater Minneapolis Minnesota metro area where I have been for most of my life. I have three adult children, enjoy time with my two cats, and appreciate the outdoors. I have a passion for backpacking/camping in the Rocky Mountains several times per year and have found this helps me find tranquility both mentally and spiritually.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LADC) in Minnesota with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and ADHD. In addition,I have been a Drug and Alcohol Counselor in the State of MN for over 15 years, working with various alcohol, opioid, and stimulant difficulties. I currently work with Buprenorphine/Suboxone programming. I was also part of the Adjunct faculty at a local Minneapolis University for 6 years teaching in an Addiction Studies, Co-Occurring disorders, and Master Social Work programs. This unique experience offers the people I meet with in a therapeutic setting the liberal approach to each person’s individual needs.

My therapy style is warm, interactive, client centered, and liberal. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and believe in a person’s mental health and addiction struggles should not be stigmatized with labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, person centered and harm reduction modalities. I will our conversational dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to invite me into your life to seek out 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!
