Santiam Crossing
Scio, OR

We are pleased to announce that former Academic Director Nicole Carter, has returned to Santiam Crossing and has taken a position as Campus Therapist.

Carter left Santiam Crossing a couple of years ago to further her education. She obtained a master's degree in Social Work from Portland State University and since then has worked supervising a therapeutic classroom team, providing family clinical care coordination, and working with students to address mental health and education needs. She has also done couples and family counseling, including crisis intervention. In addition, Nicole worked in the Portland Public Schools providing individual, family and group counseling for adolescents.

In addition to her degree in Social Work, Nicole holds a master's in Education from Brown University and completed her undergraduate work at Smith College.

"It is wonderful to have Nicole back on campus. When she was our Academic Director her connection and rapport with the students was excellent and she was a valued faculty member. Now with her education in Social Work and her experience as a therapist we couldn't be happier to have her back on our team," said Program Director Kirsen Rostad.
