About CARE Counseling Mankato
Located close to Washington Park, CARE Counseling Mankato is an outpatient mental health center. The clinic provides research-supported treatment for a wide range of clients, including individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. A notable feature is that CARE Counseling also offers therapy for young children under 5. To help minimize obstacles to care, the center can assist people who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent.
Services address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, concerns related to health and sleep, relationship and self-care challenges, eating disorders, and situations involving substance use along with other conditions. Clients receive tailored evidence-based approaches such as person-centered integrative psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), somatic experiencing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
The American Psychological Association has approved CARE Counseling to host continuing education for psychologists in the Mankato and Twin Cities regions. The center also collaborates with various community organizations, including Target, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, and the Minnesota Psychological Association, to present on mental health and overall well-being.
CARE Counseling operates as a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare’s Optum division, so it works with UnitedHealthcare/Optum insurance as well as other insurers, and it also offers self-pay options.
