We now offer telehealth throughout the State of Minnesota. Please connect to our patient portal, request an appointment time, and we would be happy to get you set up! If the day or times available do not work for you please look at the in person schedule, request it to be changed to telehealth, and we will do what we can to honor that. We look forward to meeting you and helping you thrive in life.

TherapyPortal improves patient/therapist communication by allowing for self-scheduling, appointment reminders, and much more.

We will be closed for the next two weeks. Brian Clark MA, LPCC passed away on Friday Sept. 16, 2022. He was a great husband and counselor who loved Jesus. He fought a courageous battle with cancer for 3 years. At the end of his journey he continued to fight hard never giving up. He carried his kindness and sense of humor to the end. Brian was also our billing person and scheduler. Please be patient as I transition back to re-learning all the jobs he did, getting caught up on many months of backed up phone calls, and billing. It will be strange not to see his smiling face everyday and will be missed by so many. Thank you for your understanding.
On a more personal note, I want you to know that as a family we are in a good place under the circumstance. We have an excellent support system and a strong faith that God is walking this path with us.

Our desire here at Optimistic Living Counseling is to provide a safe place for clients to receive metal health services. We are a small company so we can provide services that give clients the ability to seek help without being exposed to a large group of people. Therefore, in response to the Coronavirus we are working to set up telehealth with the insurance companies . It will take a few days to get it up and running. This will give clients the option to seek out services from their home. In the meantime we are going to be sanitizing all surfaces between sessions including door handles. We are setting up two waiting areas so that you can keep distance. We will continue to provide water coffee and tea but you will need to ask an employee to get it for you. We ask that anyone who is sick to please cancel your appointment. You will not be charged a late fee if you are sick. We are trying diligently to get a hold of hand sanitizer to provide for our clients while they are here. We will be keeping the distance between client and therapist at least 6 feet. Our hope is to make our clients feel comfortable and safe during this time.

When stress at work goes unnoticed or untreated by employers and employees, it can lead to burnout. Here's what to look out for.
