Struggling with anxiety or stress? Questioning your identity? Feeling overwhelmed by relationships or family issues? You’re not alone. At myHealth, our mental health counselors are here to support you through whatever you’re facing—including anxiety and stress management, body image, gender identity, sexual orientation, risk-taking behaviors, and relationship and family issues. Whatever’s on your mind, we’re here to talk—without judgment.
Individual Counseling
During individual sessions, we will discuss any concerns you have in a safe, confidential space. If you would like to have parents, partners, or other parties join you during your sessions sometimes, that is perfectly okay.
Family Counseling
Therapy can help improve the flow of communication among family members, including immediate and extended family members. By working with the family as a whole, in addition to one on one counseling, myHealth therapists can help families work through difficult issues such as death, divorce and other situations that can bring tension into the living environment.
Short Wait
We know that when you’re ready to talk, waiting can be hard. That’s why we work to keep our counseling wait times as short as possible. Call us at 952-474-3251 to begin the scheduling process.

You are not alone.
We all feel down from time to time, feel stressed on occasion and can be overwhelmed by anxiety. It is normal to experience all of these at one time or another.
Finding someone to talk to can help sort it all out. At myHealth our counselors specialize in dealing with the issues teens & young adults face today.
When you are ready to talk about what is weighing on your mind, we are here, just a phone call away.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you ever feel really sad, frustrated, or lonely?
- Do you feel especially angry, annoyed, or out-of-control?
- Do you feel very anxious, worried, or guilty?
- Have you experienced some major problems at home, at school, or in your neighborhood?
- Have you noticed changes in the way you sleep, eat, or think and feel about life?
- Is it hard for you to talk about these feelings with your family or friends?
- Are these feelings having a bad effect on your life – are they making your schoolwork and your relationships with family and friends hard?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, it may be a good idea for you to talk with a therapist.
