The North Memorial Health Advantage

North Memorial Health providers work to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. Our therapists and prescribers have extensive clinical experience and specialized training to work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, with a broad range of mental health symptoms. Our team will work with you to tailor the therapeutic and psychopharmacological approach to meet your needs and support your recovery. To that end, we have many specialists and options for care:

  • Within the North Memorial Health system, we offer a full spectrum of care, including inpatient psychiatric stabilization, partial hospitalization intensive outpatient programming, DBT Group Psychotherapy, and outpatient therapy and medication management.
  • Our partial hospital program offers a mind-body-medicine approach, unique in the state of Minnesota.
  • We offer trauma-focused intensive group psychotherapy, with an emphasis on understanding trauma related symptoms and developing skills and resources for symptom management. This can often support individual trauma therapy.
  • Our providers work to provide trauma-informed therapy and medication management services. Trauma can contribute to the development and maintenance of many mental health symptom presentations and our providers will work with you to better understand your symptoms and develop a path for healing and recovery.
  • You have the right and power to drive your treatment options. We’ll give you a variety of evidence-based treatment options, research and education to make informed decisions with your provider.
