Osman Baar

I like to create an environment free of judgment and allow my clients to speak their minds without criticism. I use positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on the client's internal strengths and resourcefulness rather than on their weaknesses, failures, & shortcomings. I provide telehealth and in-person services Monday through Thursday at Moorhead, MN. I utilize various evidence-based therapy approaches, including TF-CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, to treat multiple mental health problems and disorders, including depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, childhood trauma, relationship problems, stress, and trauma.

I have experience working with families, children, seniors, and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Also, I have experience in stress management, PTSD, and relationship challenges. I strive to always meet people where they are at in a genuine and non judgmental way.

I speak English and Somali fluently and have experience working with immigrants and refugee populations. I have experience working with new by providing a safe space to process the challenges of acculturation, manage stress related to immigration, improve communication skills, build resilience, and address mental health concerns.
