Catholic Charities Offering Mental Health Help in Central MN

(KNSI) – Central Minnesota residents struggling with life can turn to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud for mental health services. Catholic Charities in St. Cloud Executive Director Steve Pareja says everyone can use some help navigating through life’s journey.

“I’ve had a couple of therapists say that everybody at some point, should sit down and talk with a therapist. And I truly believe that because we all carry burdens throughout our lives, on any given day, and sometimes keeping it bottled up inside just is not healthy.”

Pareja says friends and family are great listeners, but sometimes there are issues that you don’t want to discuss with people you’re close to.

“We all know that sometimes we’re carrying burdens within us that we just don’t feel comfortable sharing with a friend or a loved one, that if we can sit and talk with a trained professional, they’ll help us unpack what we’re dealing with.”

Catholic Charities provides several mental and behavioral health programs in St. Cloud. They offer one-on-one therapeutics, group and individual skills training, and classes on how to assess and cope with the stresses of life.

He says Catholic Charities offers all of its mental health programs in person and through telehealth. To start the process, or for more information, call 320-650-1550 or click here.
