I received my BA in psychology from Bethany Lutheran College, her MA in Counseling Psychology from Bethel University, and my Marriage and Family Certificate from Bethel Seminary. I have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the DC: 0-3, which is a framework for diagnosing children under the age of 5. I have experience providing in-home and outpatient therapy. I utilize a systems approach when working with individuals and families and believe that it is essential to understand an individual in the context of their family, family patterns, and environment.

I bring insight and resources that connect you to your innate mental-emotional well being, to answers to your problems and to capabilities for living. This translates into the calm confidence needed to move forward with life purpose in a healthy and successful way. PHILOSOPHY: All people are born with, and continue to have an innate source of mental-emotional intelligence and well being. Uncovering and connecting people to this spontaneously translates into improved functioning in all areas. All people deserve respect and be seen with dignity. Each person has done the best they knew how. It is wise to seek new information when ones resources have been exhausted. BACKGROUND: 30 years as a published leader in two highly effective proven approaches - one psychological and one neuroscience/brain-based. (Clients willing to travel to the Twin Cities may utilize the neuroscience program in person.) Clients consistently say they greatly enjoy and find great insight and value in our sessions and wish they were longer! Let's chat so I can get to know you and your situation, you can get to know me and my approach, and we can see if there's a good fit. I will work with your financial situation.

Steven Carter
In my 30 years as a licensed psychologist, I have enjoyed working with adolescents, adults, and couples. I have served as a medical expert at approximately 10,000 hearings for Social Security Disability benefits, personal injury claims, and criminal law trials. I have spoken and published nationally on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Seasonal Affective Disorder; Traumatic Brain Injury; Neuropsychological Testing; Chronic Pain; and Disability Claims. I am eager to hear your story and to use my experience to help you. I hold an advanced certificate in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) from the Albert Ellis Institute. REBT is one of the original forms of cognitive behavior therapy. It's an action-oriented psychotherapy that teaches individuals to take charge of their own happiness. REBT teaches you how to maintain enduring happiness and achieve your goals. You'll learn to identify the specific beliefs causing the feelings and actions that that maintain your difficulties. I know that your beliefs originate in your past and that they include your values and assumptions from your relationships. We can’t change your past or other people, but we can change how you respond to those things now. We'll identify, challenge, and change the beliefs that are harmful to you now regardless when they started. I use an active, collaborative, teaching, and empowering approach. We’ll use spoken and written exercises to zero in on your core upsetting beliefs, but you'll spend most of your time outside of meetings with me. That's why I’ll usually expect you to complete written homework or behavioral experiments for additional practice between our sessions. Changing is hard work! If it was easy, then you likely would've already done it. In my experience, most people who practice between sessions with me, almost always improve. Most people also become more resilient and better able to cope with new problems that occur after we stop meeting. I aim to do more than simply help you cope with why you contacted me this time. My goal is for you to learn to help yourself so you have lifelong benefits from our time working together.
