Northern Psychiatric Associates of Minnesota

Founded in 2007 on a simple principle that doing the right thing for patients comes first, Northern Psychiatric Associates provides outpatient mental health care for children, adolescents, adults, older adults and families in Baxter, Minnesota. By bringing psychiatry, therapy, and psychological services together, the practice makes it easier for individuals to access coordinated care that supports their mental health at every stage of life.

Getting The Right Support, All In One Place

Care is tailored to each person’s needs and includes appointments with psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists, or therapists. Services support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, eating related concerns, and relationship challenges, while psychological and bariatric evaluations help answer important questions and guide next steps. Alongside in-person and telehealth appointments, providers also serve residents in nursing homes, memory care communities, and group homes, expanding access to care beyond the clinic walls.

Tools for Managing Daily Life

Treatment draws from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), interpersonal therapy, compassion-focused therapy, trauma-focused therapies, and play therapy for children. These approaches help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, work through difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, and build practical coping skills for everyday life. Through coordinated psychiatric and therapeutic support, care is adapted to each person’s goals, challenges, and circumstances.
