Osman Ali Baar therapist

Working with Osman

You can be doing well in one part of life and still struggle privately in another. Osman helps clients slow things down, understand what keeps happening, and work on one concern at a time.

Osman works with school-age children and adolescents who need support with emotional regulation, anxiety, school stress, communication, behavior, or developmental differences. He uses DIRFloortime-informed principles to build connection, understand how a child communicates, and involve caregivers when their support can strengthen progress at home or school. He also enjoys working with adults who carry significant work, family, cultural, or community responsibilities and want a practical place to think clearly and build useful skills.

His work uses CBT, SFBT, and DBT-informed skills. Therapy can address depression, anxiety, PTSD, procrastination, anger, emotional shutdown, and feeling stuck. Culture, faith, migration, responsibility, and family patterns can be part of the conversation when they matter to you.

Osman provides therapy in English and Somali. He is licensed in Minnesota and North Dakota. He brings more than ten years of behavioral-health experience and was selected as a 2026 Bush Fellow.

If an approach is not helping, he will talk with you about it and adjust the plan.
