Kelli Sholer, M.S., NCC
Kellie has become a dear career counseling colleague and I have been fortunate to observe her counseling approach in action when we did our practicum together at the CCDS. Kellie is not only compassionate with her clients but also is always thinking about how she can best engage them in the process through creative and new techniques. She is also highly motivated in seeking out professional development opportunities which demonstrates her enthusiasm for our field. I would highly recommend Kellie to be part of any team, she is smart, friendly, caring, and proactive!
