Hello, my name is Amanda Arnson and I am a LCSW living in Colorado. I earned my undergraduate degree in 2006 from Minot State University in Addiction Studies. I worked for the State of North Dakota as a Mental Illness Case Manager and as an Addictions Counselor working with teens and adults. In 2013 I moved to Colorado and received my Masters in Social Work from the University of North Dakota. I worked for the Child Protection System for two years before moving my work to the school system. I am entering my 6th year as a middle school social worker.
