the CARE team
We’re united by our commitment to providing effective, relevant, and innovative mental health support at all stages of your journey – across the Twin Cities Area. Below you can find out more about who we are, where we come from, and how we live out CARE’s mission every day.
Being human in our world can feel challenging at times. What you’re navigating may feel difficult or heavy, but you don’t have to carry the weight of it alone.
Life is a journey full of twists and turns. But each stage of life also brings its unique joys and challenges.
Your life and story are important and hold incredible value. I believe that your unique identity and background hold great influence and are a vital part of understanding who you are and how you relate to the world around you.

As Rumi says, “This being human is a guest house…” for joy, depression, awareness, meanness, shame as well as the peace or the chaos they can bring into our lives.

If your life was like a garden, what would you like to see grow? (Or better yet…weeded out?) Finding the right therapist is like hiring the right gardener to help you learn the best ways to care for it.
Edina
Being here proves that you can do hard things. It’s not always easy to take the next step and eat your mental health vegetables, or however you personally want to frame the idea of therapy in your mind.
Everyone deserves a safe place to be vulnerable and honest without the fear of judgment or rejection.
