Let us introduce
CARE Counseling: A Journey of Community and Care
Founding Vision: Dr. Andrea Hutchinson and John Hutchinson, MBA, co-founded CARE Counseling in January 2014 with a mission to bridge the gap between community mental health centers and private practices. They aimed to provide a strong sense of community, rich culture, and solid support system while ensuring a solid income for clinicians.
Early Growth: Dr. Hutchinson, with her experience in both nonprofit and private practice, and John, with his consulting background, combined their expertise to create a sustainable business model. They renovated a Victorian home to open their first clinic, working tirelessly to establish a practice that valued both clients and providers.
Mission and Values: CARE Counseling’s mission is “Building a Community to Strengthen the Community.” This mission informs every decision, from training to internal and external community building. CARE focuses on supporting providers to ensure they can offer the best possible care to clients.
A team that plays together stays together – whether we’re enjoying happy hours, escaping from a puzzle room, providing self care such as hosting CARE’s gatherings, we play as hard as we work.
Clear, open communication is essential to CARE’s success. We do weekly group consult to give the clinicians the opportunity to work through difficult cases, get feedback and new ideas, and share in successes.
At CARE, we want you to enjoy your time out of the office having input into the composition of your caseload are goals shared by both CARE & CARE’s Clinicians.
Healthcare, 401k match, & PTO are just a few of the benefits offered at CARE Counseling…read more here.
An office is more than a desk and a couch. We work hard to ensure that our office spaces are inviting, comfortable environments as evident by our decor and furniture. Of course, you are always welcome to provide your own unique touch to your space!
On your break head to our lounge – complete with endless coffee supply! Not to mention great conversation with CARE staff.
We pay salaries, you will know what your next check will look like EVERY TIME!
What if I see too many clients? There is bonus potential.
What if I’m awesome? We want you on the team.
Do you just hire anyone? We are looking for THE BEST THERAPISTS
Yeah you will and we think about flexibility in a few ways…
Clientele: We want you to find clients who give you energy and give you purpose, we want to help you find both.
Modality: We support a wide variety of modalities; it is well known that clinical staff are the ‘tool’ in therapy – we want to support the most authentic version of your authentic self during those sessions as that is the best way to ensure quality client experiences.
Schedule: We are a big fans of ‘flexing’ schedules, it takes a minute to get used to any clinics’ systems but once you have our system down we want you to leverage flexibility.
At CARE we never want you to feel like you are stuck in a “growth rut.” To ensure continual professional growth in our clinicians, we provide the following:
We are in network with most MN based insurance companies. We encourage people to call their insurance carrier to verify that their particular policy will cover services. Additionally, our billing team will verify insurance benefits before a client’s first visit assuming we have all the necessary information and enough time prior to the appointment. A direct pay rate, which is a reduced rate, is available for uninsured private pay clients. We have a sliding fee scale available based on family size and income. We will not denied access to services due to inability to pay. This scale is based on the federal poverty line and to see if you qualify, please reach out to our billing partner.
