Exploring Inner Strength with Dagaz Therapy

Guiding clients on powerful journeys of healing and self-discovery

When we think of exploration, our minds often go to plane tickets and hiking trails, but what about the journey inward? At Dagaz Therapy in Maple Grove, the real adventure is personal transformation. Founded by licensed therapist Britta Svihel, this group practice is dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. It is a place where emotional safety and authenticity are not just goals. They are guiding principles.

The name “Dagaz” comes from an ancient Norse rune meaning “dawn” or “daylight.” It symbolizes transformation and new beginnings. This is a fitting name for a space focused on helping individuals move out of old patterns and into deeper connection with themselves and others.

Therapy here is approached with intention, compassion, and deep respect for each individual’s story. The clinicians support people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, grief, and life transitions. Clients are met where they are and supported throughout their healing journey. The warmth and safety people feel reflect a culture built with care and purpose.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the practice is its somatic-based approach, which combines talk therapy with body-centered healing. The team understands that emotional pain is not only something we think through, but something we carry physically. By helping clients reconnect to their bodies through breathwork, movement, and nervous system regulation, they support meaningful and lasting change.

Sessions typically run 50 minutes and are offered in person or virtually. But the impact continues outside the therapy room. Clients are encouraged to integrate tools like journaling, grounding exercises, and mindful self-reflection into daily life. Healing unfolds in the small, intentional moments between visits.

People from many walks of life seek support here. Some are navigating trauma, while others are searching for clarity, stability, or peace of mind in a fast-paced world. No matter the starting point, each person is welcomed with empathy and offered personalized, thoughtful care. There is no rush or pressure. Just a steady commitment to healing.

For many, therapy becomes a place of rediscovery. Clients often leave feeling not only heard but empowered. They are more equipped to set boundaries, care for themselves, and move through life with greater confidence.

Connection is at the heart of the work being done. This focus extends beyond individuals to the community. The therapists value authenticity and transparency and strive to create an environment that feels both human and professional. That spirit is reflected in how they engage with Maple Grove and the people who call it home.

Opening Doors to Healing for All

Dagaz believes that healing has a ripple effect. When one person finds peace, that energy can reach families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. That belief fuels their passion for making care accessible and advocating for those who may otherwise go without support.

To further that mission, a community fundraiser was launched to help provide therapy services for individuals and families facing financial barriers. Every donation goes directly toward opening a door for someone ready to take the first step.

Ready to begin your own journey? Reach out and take the first step in exploring your inner landscape with guidance, compassion, and care. Whether you are navigating a life change, healing old wounds, or seeking clarity, the team is here to support your path forward.

We believe healing has a ripple effect that reaches families, workplaces, and entire communities.
