10th Anniversary: Announcing our 10th Location

2024 is an extra special year. CARE Counseling is celebrating our 10th anniversary as a clinic and we also have a special surprise for the Woodbury community! On May 6th we are opening our 10th location in the Woodbury/Lake Elmo area!  

  

We are thrilled to expand our community impact and excited to open our doors to the Woodbury community. Opening a new clinic, in a new community provides an opportunity to help more people. Each CARE location has its unique look and feel, making each site its own, yet interconnected within the broader community.  

  

CARE’s mission is “Building a Community to Strengthen the Community.” Supporting people with their mental health makes a big difference in communities. Becoming emotionally and physically stronger helps build resilience, especially when a foundation of healthy relationships and social connectedness is present.  

  

CEO Andrea Hutchinson PsyD, LP, and COO John Hutchinson, MBA are the proud co-founders of the CARE community. Their dedication to mental health, and their investment in the team, including the development of highly trained clinicians ensures that mental health providers are available to provide evidence-based care to the community.  

  

The need for mental health services continues to be high, and CARE has expanded to meet those needs. Providers are available for in-person (outpatient) and telehealth therapy, offering same-week availability. Please join us as we celebrate our 10th anniversary of providing mental health services to the community and announce the opening of our 10th location in the Woodbury area.
