Elspeth Moon

I am currently pursuing my MAE in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Chadron State College. During this educational experience, I am learning how to integrate my clients cultural background and lived experiences into my practice, where I seek to use the knowledge I have gained to help them find their own path forward. 
To Date: 
B.A. in Psychology
I am working on my required 600 hours of internship currently and have completed all other coursework for the CMHC degree program.

​

My Practicum Experience was at a telehealth only private practice, Holland Counseling. I worked with Ann Holland for a semester, observing her with clients and beginning to develop the in session skills I would need to move forward in my education. 

My internship is currently at Fair Winds Counseling, where I am working with Leta Voigt. I have helped facilitate a DBT group with her, and have started taking on my own clients. 

As I mentioned earlier, I am a queer & nonbinary person. I am comfortable with both She/Her and They/Them pronouns. I was raised in a small mid-western town. Due to the impacts of a variety of stressors, I saw the importance of caring for your mental health up close. This combined with my desire to help others, turning into a lifelong passion for this field. 

Currently, I live in a town near where I grew up. I work at a residential vocational development center which allows me to mentor young adults as they work towards becoming healthy and independent. I am a step-parent to my partner's two children, and a "cat & dog" mom to our 7 pets. When not working, I'm spending time with family or doing something creative.
