A little room to see things differently.02 / A HUMAN PLACE TO START
You can start with where you are.
Led by Heather Faustin, LMHC, Make a Difference Counseling offers school-based, mobile, community and in-home care, alongside telehealth.
The idea is simple: support can fit into everyday life. A familiar place. A conversation. Space to take the next step.
What does getting started look like?03 / FOR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES
Care belongs close to the places young people learn and grow.
Make a Difference brings counseling into school communities. The practice also uses converted Sprinter vans as mobile offices, creating another place for a private conversation.
