Counseling Kids and Adults

About Counseling Kids and Adults

Counseling Kids and Adults is an in-network outpatient therapy practice serving the east metro of the Twin Cities, with offices in Oakdale and Chisago City and video sessions across Minnesota and Wisconsin. They see children, teens, adults, couples, and families, and their caseload ranges from depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD to alcohol and drug use, dual diagnosis, chronic relapse, codependency, and process addictions like gambling, internet, video game, and sexual addiction. Addiction counseling and assessments are offered alongside individual therapy, family and couples work, and support groups, including groups for teens. They accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, offer same-day appointments, and run a sliding fee program based on federal poverty guidelines so that inability to pay doesn’t block access to care.

Several clinicians hold Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor credentials, and some have advanced training in co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. Common approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing, with EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and Child Parent Psychotherapy available for trauma and younger clients. Clients who want faith woven into treatment can work with Christian counselors, and the practice has specific experience supporting first responders, health care workers, legal professionals, and executives. They also coordinate with schools, pediatricians, midwives, and functional medicine clinics, which can help when a family member’s recovery is part of a broader picture of family health.
