Our Values

Resourced Mental Health Professionals

Exceptional mental health care thrives when mental health professionals are equipped with the resources to operate independently within a supportive community.

Everyone Deserves Dignity and Respect

We affirm the inherent right of every individual to be treated with dignity and respect.

Systemic Impact on Mental Well-being

Recognizing the undeniable impact of systemic oppression and discrimination on physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we acknowledge it as an incontrovertible fact.

Anti-Oppressive Framework

We are committed to ongoing self-examination and the challenging of our biases, power dynamics, and privilege. We pledge to actively make the necessary changes to operate within an anti-oppressive framework.

Meet Our Therapists

Our Minneapolis based team includes licensed and pre-licensed therapists, and interns, each committed to providing anti-oppressive, holistic mental health care.

 

At MindBalance Mental Health Care, we prioritize a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone is respected and valued. We are proud to serve a diverse Minnesota community, including BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, adoptees, immigrants, students, and neurodivergent individuals, with care that is affirming, culturally responsive, and community-centered.

Land Acknowledgement

We respectfully acknowledge that our business is located on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ people, particularly the Wahpekute Band. We honor their enduring relationship with the land and pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We recognize that this land acknowledgment is just a first step in addressing the history of colonization and its lasting impacts on Indigenous communities. As part of our commitment, we will be donating 1% of any profits from the previous year to the Native Governance Center, an organization dedicated to strengthening Native leadership and supporting Native self-governance. This donation will be made by May 1st each year. We strive to support Indigenous sovereignty, equity, and community efforts in meaningful ways.
