Biography
I practice social work and provide case management services to children and families involved with the child protection system in Becker County. I work predominantly with families with young children. I work with birth families to address safety and well-being of children and provide referral for services and service assessment to achieve family stabilization and safety. Part of my practice also includes locating and assessing appropriate relatives or non-relatives for placement of children in foster care or for the purposes of permanent placement.
Joanna Kelly, LMFT, RPT
Biography
I founded my practice with a passion to provide the best possible services to individuals and families who have been touched by adoption in some way. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, which means I value the role that relationships play in mental health functioning and healing. I include family work as a routine part of the therapy process. As an adoptive parent, I am sensitive to the unique needs that adoption presents. I work from an attachment perspective, meaning that healing can often be found through enhancing relationships and security.
