We believe every mental health issue can be measured on a spectrums, including how severe
it affects one's life. For instance, some people have mild depression, while some have severe symptoms.
Some people have mild ADHD, some have severe ADHD that interferes with all aspects of their lives.
Some people with autism may be higher funcitoning (Level 1),
while others are lower functioning (Level 3), and everything in between.
Our aim is to meet out clients where they are and help them get to where they want to be.
We do that by building trust with our clients through empathy, respect, and support.

Maci Nielsen Elkins, LCSW I've been working with children, adolescents, and families for 20 years. As a parent myself, I'm familiar with the growing pains of raising a family. Each new day can be an adventure, whether we want it to be or not. I can assist you as you navigate the ups and downs of family life and parenting. I believe it's 'easier to build a child than to repair an adult.' Building a resilient, happy child begins at birth. Fostering resilience in your children through effective parenting is a gift they will have throughout their lives. I have experience working with school-aged children who struggle socially and academically due to ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflicts, etc. I also have extensive experience with early childhood social-emotional development and guiding parents as they prepare their preschoolers for kindergarten. Recently I've learned how much I enjoy working with young adults with their increased self-awareness and insight. We can work together on processing your experiences to date and figuring out your next steps in life. Qualifications

Lisa Carlsson, MSW, CSWA
We all have things that hold us back from achieving our goals. Let's work together to find the best version of yourself that you can be! With over 15 years experience working in school settings as a special education teacher and resource specialist, I bring a unique background to my work with clients. I understand how tricky school can be for many, and I use my knowledge of child development and neurodiversity to help young people develop skills for more success at school and at home. I also love working with adults and families facing stressors such as grief, problematic relationships with loved ones, and life transitions. I approach each client with a strengths-based perspective, and I work with individuals and their families to address issues from a problem-solving approach. It isn’t that behaviors or choices are bad, it’s that they sometimes get in the way of us living the life we want to live. I would love to help you or your child identify the skills needed to lay the foundation for the person you want to become. Whether you struggle with anxiety or depression, or need help learning to manage unwanted thoughts or behaviors, I believe in guiding individuals and families to solutions in a kind and supportive way. I look forward to meeting you! Qualifications
