ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Minnesota

When a child, teen, or family is struggling, it can affect every part of daily life. You may be noticing emotional changes, behavioral challenges, increased conflict at home, difficulties at school, or a growing sense that something just doesn't feel right. It can be hard to know how to help, especially when the strategies that once worked no longer seem effective. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, OCD, eating disorders, and behavioral concerns. Many of the families I support are looking for practical solutions while also wanting to strengthen communication and connection. My goal is to create a supportive space where children, teens, and families feel understood, build on their strengths, and develop healthier patterns that promote resilience and long-term emotional well-being.

Hi, I am so glad you found me here today, and are taking the next step! I’m KrisAnn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples navigating cancer, chronic illness, grief, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I founded Curveball Counseling to offer a steady, compassionate space where people can make sense of what they’re going through and regain their sense of stability and direction.

My professional background includes extensive work in oncology and medical settings, where I’ve supported patients, caregivers, and families through some of life’s most uncertain seasons. Alongside my clinical training, these experiences shaped my deep respect for the resilience people carry—even when they feel overwhelmed.

Hello, my name is Betsy Walter MSW, LICSW.

I use a relational approach to working with adolescence. I am easy to talk to and like to listen.

I am a passionate lifelong learner who brings a warm, adaptable personality to every session. Our work is deeply rooted in your personal growth, with a shared goal of long-term health and healing.

I believe that peace on earth starts with peace in the home. I'm able to help adults, couples, and families find this peace by using healthy communication techniques, recognize their emotions and heal from past pain. This helps clients foster deeper connections in their relationships and within themselves. I work with couples needing support with communication, conflict resolution and gaining trust. I help parents establish loving limits with their children to help them learn while also maintaining connection. I can help clients cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and postpartum.

As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes.

My professional journey has been dedicated to helping people work through challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and self-esteem issues.

I understand that life transitions can be overwhelming, and I'm committed to providing compassionate, personalized support that empowers you to develop resilient coping strategies.

My approach is rooted in creating a warm, collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore your experiences and strengths.

I believe each person has unique inner resources for healing and growth. Together, we'll work to understand your specific needs, build emotional skills, and help you move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer a supportive space where you can feel heard, validated, and encouraged as you navigate your personal challenges.

My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you discover your own capacity for transformation and emotional well-being.

I have been working in the mental health field for the past seven years, with a strong foundation in nursing and psychiatric care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2019 and began my career on a behavioral health unit, where I gained extensive experience supporting individuals with both acute and chronic mental health conditions.

In 2024, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing and became a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Over the past two years in advanced practice, I have provided comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing treatment for a wide range of mental health disorders.

My clinical experience includes addiction medicine and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), as well as the management of depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD. I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote stability, resilience, and long-term well-being.

With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.
