We are so excited to announce that we have a new partnership with South Central MN Food Recovery!

SCMNFR accepts large quantities of quality fresh produce and meats destined for the landfill, by creating fresh and minimally processed foods and ready-made meals. We serve people facing barriers to getting nutritious food because of a lack of resources or transportation. The focus is to work with community partners who will distribute to people who are low-income and/or Black, Indigenous, or people of color.

Grab some food while you are in for an appointment or stop in during our walk-in hours of Monday-Thursday 9:00am - 1:00pm. Open to current clients and the community!

Per The Trevor Project in 2024, "39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting su***de in the past year — including 46% of transgender and nonbinary young people. LGBTQ+ youth of color reported higher rates than White peers."

We're here to help.

Our LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists provide evidence-based treatment for all mental health conditions—with the added understanding of how your identity intersects with your healing journey.
