Therapists in North Dakota

Around 40% of the effectiveness of therapy is your relationship with your therapist! The next 30% is your own coping skill set. I pride myself in being a down to earth, relatable counselor, and I enjoy collaborating with my clients for their mental health care! With 18 years of well-rounded experience in the field, I use a combination of theories and techniques to first build a trusting and empowering relationship and then work together to reduce the suffering that comes from mental health issues or life's stressors. I believe clients are looking for connection and for a counselor they can relate to, to help with their problems!

I am a North Dakota native, who for the past 37 years has worked with children, youth, and adults in a variety of different settings and professional roles. I have worked for Juvenile Court; Public Schools (K-12); Therapeutic level foster care; youth/family runaway prevention services; and hospital based mental health programs providing mental health and addiction services for youth/adults/families. I will always work with the client to determine the best treatment focus, and method, in an open and collaborative manner. I utilize an eclectic range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, Solution & Strengths Based Focused strategies.

Welcome! Congratulations on making it this far in your search for a better life! The information below is provided to help you decide whether you want to work with me. If questions remain, you can email or call to arrange a free 15-minute consultation. My therapeutic approach is based on good general counseling skills, meaning that regardless of the theories employed, I strive to promote a professional relationship in which you feel heard and seen and validated. I rely primarily on motivational interviewing and cognitive behavior therapy but often use additional approaches, such as DBT, EMDR, ACT, RCT, and more.

I like to create an environment free of judgment and allow my clients to speak their minds without criticism. I use positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on the client's internal strengths and resourcefulness rather than on their weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. I provide telehealth services in the evening and in person on Tuesdays at Fergus Falls, MN. I utilize various evidence-based therapy approaches, including TF-CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, to treat multiple mental health problems and disorders, including depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship problems, stress, and trauma.

I'm a clinical psychologist able to treat a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, binge eating, emotional eating, eating disorders, and trauma. I also am able to assist with related difficulties, including uncontrollable emotions and weight loss. I've published research in these areas, and as a professor have trained future researchers and clinicians in them as well. All treatments I use are based on strong research to support their effectiveness - including cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and mindfulness-based treatment, dialectical behavior therapy, and exposure therapy.

Welcome to my profile! My name is Darren and I'm a licensed therapist in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Heightened levels of distress can cause disruptions and impairment in our lives and create maladaptive behaviors over time. At Carter Clinical Counseling, I collaborate with clients to work toward their treatment goals for the reduction and elimination of symptoms.

I have been providing therapy for many years. I have helped numerous individuals to manage their mental health in a way where they can feel comfortable and empowered to go after what they want in life. A client that has a desire to process through their issues is the only main requirement for therapy. This creates the proper environment where an individual can grow and achieve what they want in their life.

If you're experiencing relationship tension, work stress, burnout, or fatigue, I'm here to help. My focus is on assisting individuals and couples in overcoming life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with significant changes or are generally unhappy with your current direction, my client-centered approach prioritizes your needs and empowers you to reach your goals.

I want you to imagine leaving your home in the morning, navigating the busy roads to work. You’re tired, barely focused and dreading the day ahead. You pull into the parking lot of your employer, taking a deep breath. You grab your work things and walk towards the office. You stop, frozen in the sea of mental waves, a thousand thoughts crashing into one another, unable to organize them. Everything stops for a moment, a beacon of clarity forms in the distance and you’re able to hear one calm thought. You ask yourself “am I on the right path?”

Life can be very challenging and overwhelming, and our natural tendency is to freeze or flee from our issues. However the best solution is to walk through them, and I can help you in that process. I like to listen intently to hurting or frustrated people who are stuck in addictions, toxic relationships, depression, anxiety, and confusing situations and help them come up with solutions that will work. It's important to feel supported when we're overwhelmed, and I make that my primary goal.

Some of us simply communicate and convey our thoughts more effectively in writing. The face to face setting can be overwhelming at times. And some of us have incredibly busy lives that do not lend themselves to weekly in office therapy sessions. Or we need more help taking the skills that we are learning in therapy and applying them effectively outside of the session. And who has not had the experience where something major has happened in their lives, but they have to wait days or a week or more for their next therapy session?

Today is your day! This is your time to make the changes you've been putting off! You've been fighting...wrestling. It's time to take control. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma-related anxiety or grief, low self-esteem, or domestic violence/abuse or relationship issues, now is the time to apply pressure to those areas of your life that are keeping you from achieving success and fulfillment.
