About CARE Counseling Loring Park (Clifton Avenue)

Set on Clifton Avenue in Minneapolis, CARE Counseling Loring Park is an outpatient mental health clinic for clients in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. They offer evidence-based therapeutic services to a diverse clientele, including individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. A differentiator is that they even provide therapy to children under 5. To reduce barriers to treatment, CARE Counseling can support for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent individuals.
They treat depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, health and sleep issues, relationships and self-care issues, eating disorders, and co-occurring substance use addictions. Their individualized, evidence-based therapies include person-centered integrative psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), somatic experiencing therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
The American Psychological Association has approved CARE Counseling to sponsor continuing education for psychologists in the Twin Cities. Additionally, CARE Counseling has partnered with numerous community organizations, including Target, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, and the Minnesota Psychological Association, to deliver presentations on mental health and well-being.
CARE Counseling is a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare's Optum division. As such, they accept insurance from UnitedHealthcare/Optum and other insurers, as well as self-pay.

Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
