CARE Counseling, a prominent outpatient mental health provider in Minnesota, proudly announces its remarkable achievement of securing the number spot 1123 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America for the third consecutive year. This accolade underscores CARE Counseling’s unwavering commitment to support the ever-growing needs of the Minnesota community.
CARE Counseling’s continued success and growth exemplify the organization’s dedication to delivering mental health services and support to their clients. The recognition on the Inc. 5000 list highlights the dedicated efforts of CARE Counseling’s team, its partners, clients, and supporters who have contributed significantly to the company’s journey this past year.
“At CARE Counseling, we prioritize hiring, training, and retaining providers, striving to be an employer of choice,” said Dr. Andrea Hutchinson, Chief Executive Officer at CARE Counseling. “We are dedicated to providing top-tier professional training to improve client outcomes and support our community effectively.”

The Inc. 5000 list stands as a testament to the remarkable accomplishments of businesses that have shown exceptional growth and innovation. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Such as: Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of resources, and hiring challenges. “One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

As CARE Counseling celebrates this prestigious honor, the organization remains committed to its mission of, “Building a Community, to Support the Community.” Upon opening in 2014, CARE has grown from 1 to 10 locations, 2 to over 300 team members, and developed on-boarding, training, and clinical systems to effectively support the community. With a focus on excellence and a clinician centered practice, CARE Counseling looks forward to embracing future milestones with determination and enthusiasm.
