Jason Zupke, MA, LMFT

“The most powerful healing arises from the simple intention to love the life within you, unconditionally, with as much tenderness and presence as possible.”

—Tara Brach

Jason believes you already have what it takes to heal and grow—sometimes you need a collaborator to help clear out the noise. He brings realness, humor, and a strictly judgment-free vibe to every session, creating a space where you can finally drop the mask and show up as your authentic self.

Bringing his own lived experience as a gay cis man, Jason provides an LGBTQIA+-affirming space with a deep focus on gay, bi, queer, and MSM men, as well as straight men looking for a supportive space to untangle identity, relationships, body image, and the exhausting pressure to “hold it all together.” If you’re rethinking your relationship with substances, Jason offers a practical, harm-reduction approach—meaning no shame, no rigid rules, meeting you exactly where you’re at.

His approach blends mindfulness and trauma-informed care into something that feels deeply human and grounded. Jason studied at the University of Minnesota’s Bakken Center (focusing on grief, forgiveness, and mindfulness), holds a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary’s University, is certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and is trained in Brainspotting.

When he’s not in the therapist chair, you can find him walking the Cities with his dog Eli, practicing yin yoga, spending time in nature, or listening to way too many podcasts.
