Let Walk-In Counseling Center help!
People of all ages, backgrounds, experiences and presenting problems are welcome at Walk-In. We work with individuals, couples and families on a wide variety of issues. More
Now we have two locations in St. Paul in addition to our main location in Minneapolis.
You can come to any Walk-In clinic during clinic hours. You do not need an appointment. Counseling sessions are 1/2 to 1 hour long and are held in private rooms. You may remain anonymous if you wish. Walk-In services are strictly confidential.
Services are free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
About half of our clients come only once, but you and your counselor may decide that additional visits are appropriate. These you can make by appointment. We can also refer you to other helping organizations for additional services that may be helpful, including longer term care and support.

Coming Home Collaborative for Veterans
Many Veterans returning home face significant emotional challenges. Walk-In welcomes them!
Walk-In is involved with the Coming Home Collaborative, a volunteer association of people who are concerned with the psychological and spiritual healing of veterans, especially those re-integrating with their families and communities. For more information about the Coming Home Collaborative, log onto Listen To Vets.
Check out their book "Welcome Them Home -- Help Them Heal, Pastoral Care and Ministry with Service Members Returning Home from War" at Welcome Them Home Book. It was written by Rev. John Sippola, former Minnesota National Guard chaplain; Rev. Don Tubesing, wellness trainer and publisher; Dr. Valerie Yancey, nursing professor with a specialty in parish nursing and Amy Blumenshine, MSW and diaconal minister. The book addresses church leaders and pastoral care providers who have the opportunity to improve the re-integration experiences of military service members returning from war.
We highly recommend the Veterans' Survival Guide. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) also posts excellent military PTSD related resources on its site.
