Mental Health
Anne Carlsen Mental Health Therapy opened its doors in Moorhead, Minnesota in 2018, serving children, teens, adults, couples, and families throughout the region. Anne Carlsen is an inclusive organization that is LGBTQI+ and culturally affirming. Our therapists deliver unique, fun, and adaptive programming.

Anne Carlsen Mental Health Therapists welcome anyone struggling with challenges related to stress, trauma, and other mental health issues. Therapists also specialize in diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders.
On any given day at our Moorhead office, you may notice children proudly displaying incredible Lego projects, science experiments in progress, the construction of a new pillow den, or a fort building in a relaxing and welcoming environment.

Integrated Services
Through collaboration and our continuum of services, we utilize a team approach in order to provide individualized and person-centered services. For individuals receiving Mental Health services, the following departments and services are vital components of this continuum.

Speech Therapy
Our professionals are educated and trained to evaluate and treat children with speech, language and swallowing problems. The speech therapy team will focus on developmental areas including talking, understanding, social interactions and engagement as well as address feeding and swallowing problems.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy treats the whole person. As occupational therapists, we look at the individual’s participation while engaging in daily routines, such as play, activities of daily living, education, leisure, and social interactions.


Behavioral Health
The Mental Health Therapists refer to or consult with Board Certified Behavioral Analysts in Behavioral Health when a behavioral plan or functional behavioral assessment is needed. This may also occur when the Mental Health and Behavioral Health teams collaborate on a school consult.
Assistive Technology
Anne Carlsen has a variety of low-tech to high-tech options of assistive technology to support all individuals. An assessment to determine abilities and limitations happens over time and assistive technology is used to promote independence and engagement.
