About Us
Mission: 

Watercourse Counseling Center, is a nonprofit organization established in 1999, with a mission to strengthen our Minneapolis community by supporting people in the journey toward emotional well-being.

We strive to improve community wellness by:
creating equitable access to mental health services,
bringing services into the community (community, office & school-based settings),
building partnerships to address community issues impacted by mental health,
mentoring mental health trainees.

We operate from a fundamental belief in the power of relationship in life and in healing. Our approach relies on collaboration in which each person’s abilities, sense of self, and life experiences are valued and utilized.

Programs: 

Office-based Counseling:

Watercourse Counseling Center operates a community clinic in South Minneapolis. We offer individual, family, and couples counseling for adults and children.

We work with general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, self-care, self-esteem and stress management. We also help clients with addiction and impulse control, parenting and healthy development, relationships, sexuality and sexual orientation, identity, and spiritual connection.

School-based Counseling:

Students and families are significantly more likely to access school-based services than they are to complete a referral to an outside agency. In order to make services accessible to children and families in the community, we partner with Minneapolis Public Schools to operate mental health clinics within 12 schools across South and North Minneapolis. These services are designed to support and enhance education outcomes for students at risk.

Community Outreach:

WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS MINNEAPOLIS.

We have experienced therapists and counselors who offer:

  • Services in Spanish, Somali, Oromo, and Amharic
  • Parenting & Support groups offered at community locations and our South office
  • Outreach to youth, seniors & immigrant communities
  • Mental Health education & prevention
Why Work For Us?:
