Michael Kinzer, JD, MA, LMFT

Michael Kinzer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Jupiter Center in Minneapolis. Michael practiced business law as a trial lawyer for 13 years before starting his therapy career in 2003. Based on these experiences and a very unusual personal history, Michael brings to his work a highly unique and effective method of addressing his clients’ needs. Clients are encouraged to make better choices by increasing their awareness of what they decide they really need, not what others think they need, and then consistently acting on that self-awareness. This seems obvious, and yet it isn’t. And it works, time and time again. Michael can show you how it will work for you, depending on your specific needs and circumstances. Read more about Michael Kinzer.

Jupiter Center provides therapy to individuals, couples and families to help clients remove limitations in their lives and relationships so they can be more connected. Michael Kinzer is a network provider for most major health insurance companies, including BlueCross, HealthPartners, Cigna, Aetna, UCare, UnitedHealthCare/Optum and others. Please verify your specific plan benefits with your insurer.

My Book: “Firewalking on Jupiter”

I have published a book called Firewalking on Jupiter: A Therapist’s Guide to Fearless Self-Discovery.  It is available on Amazon.com. This announcement might seem like a shameless plug. I suppose in a way it is. I want people to buy the book because I really think it is pretty good at getting to some of the thorny issues that keep people stuck in difficult places in their lives. It brings most of my previous writings and some new material all together in a single place. That’s why I did it. On the other hand, I want my therapy clients to benefit from the contents of the book as supplemental to their therapy work, but without feeling any pressure to buy the book (that would feel weird). So, for current clients, I plan to give them each one free printed copy (and they can choose to read all of it, part of it, or none of it, whatever works for them).

If you want to buy the printed version of the book at Amazon.com, click here.

If you have a Kindle, or the Kindle program on an iPad or other device, you can buy a Kindle version of the book here.

You can also take a look at my author page at Amazon.
