Carver, Minnesota and the area surrounding the Minnesota River Valley had been home to Native American tribes until 1850. In 1851, a treaty was signed between the Dakota Indians and the U.S. Government, which opened the area to settlers from Europe. A settler from Norway claimed 415 acres that would become the town of Carver and he began a barge transport business shipping cargo by the river to and from St. Paul. By 1855, settlers were eager to buy land from the U.S. Government for $1.25 per acre. During Prohibition and the Great Depression, Carver went into a major slump in the economy. The flood of the Minnesota River in1965 was another devastating event.

Rick (Richard) Jackson
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Minnesota with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Social Work at Capella University, having earned my master's degree from the University of North Dakota. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and have addressed various life concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, phobias, OCD, and ADHD. I also have extensive experience in supporting individuals struggling with self-injury and suicidal thoughts. I am particularly passionate about assisting introverts and those seeking to better understand their introverted friends or partners. Additionally, I provide support to caregivers of children—whether biological, adoptive, or foster—who face mental health or behavioral challenges. My counseling style is warm, calm, and interactive. I firmly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and client-centered techniques, tailoring each treatment plan to the unique needs of the client. Taking the first step towards becoming the best version of yourself is crucial. We all experience moments when we feel misunderstood, directionless, or overwhelmed by stress. I am here to support you on this journey.

Charles Tyson
Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. As you are aware, we are living in unprecedented times. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach. Since graduating with my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, I have worked with folks across a wide array of presenting concerns, including managing symptoms of anxiety, mood dysregulation, and depression, healing with/from trauma, managing grief and loss, recovery from substance abuse and addiction, chronic illness, & LGBT issues. I work with clients at every stage of development in 1:1, couples, and family sessions. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be innovative, caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am responsive, honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. When we work together, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals. If you feel as though challenges are interfering with your sense of happiness and ability to function to your fullest potential, or if you are ready to alter your current life path, then I am available and able to assist you on your journey towards recovery. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.
