OCD and Intrusive Thoughts
in Minneapolis and across Minnesota

Affirming and patient support for urges that feel impossible to ignore and behaviors that may not make sense

You may be someone who experiences OCD or intrusive thoughts if:

  • You struggle with distressing, unwanted thoughts that feel hard to control

  • You engage in repetitive behaviors or rituals (mental or physical) to feel “safe” or “just right”

  • You avoid situations, people, or topics because of fear, discomfort, or anxiety

  • You experience guilt or shame about your thoughts or actions

  • You feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, mental exhaustion, or perfectionism

At MindBalance Mental Health, we understand it can be hard to find a space to explore your thoughts without judgement. We are here to support you at a pace that you dictate and control.

We offer OCD therapy that is nonjudgmental, identity-affirming, and grounded in your real-life context. We understand how shame, systemic oppression, and identity-based stress can make it harder to seek or stay in care. That’s why we take a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and whole-person approach.

Our work is rooted in care that sees you fully, not just as a diagnosis or set of symptoms.

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.
