Chellee Manselle
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I enjoy working with the students.
Hobbies?
Spending time with my dogs, family and friends.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Always be yourself.
Jen VanDomelen
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I decided to work at the school based health center because I feel like I connect with teenagers on a better level than some. I had difficult and trying adolescent years, where I struggled more than my peers. I have seen that because of my past, I am able to empathize, understand and connect with them on their level and truly make a difference in their lives.
Hobbies?
My hobbies are spending time with my kids, being out on the water and hanging out in La Pine with nature and the deer. I am also a youth cheer coach for Oregon City school district.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
The advice I would give them is to not judge themselves or others based on their mistakes. You are going to make a lot of mistakes in these coming years, what you do after them and what you learn from them, is what truly counts. Everything you are going through now is going to lead you to exactly who you are meant to be. Trust us, we have been there and come out the other side better. Remember to have fun and enjoy this time.
Michelle McInnes, Office Specialist

Medical Providers
Ami Fladoos, FNP
Why did you decide to work at the school based health center?
I enjoy working with adolescents in the community where I live. School based health centers (SBHCs) are a wonderful resource for students. SBHCs offer services such as treatment of acute illnesses and injuries, preventive care, immunizations, health maintenance, wellness/sports physical exams, screenings, dental and mental health services. Being located at the school increases access to care by reducing barriers such as transportation or time away from school.
Hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with my family and animals. My hobbies include hiking, camping, traveling, gardening, fishing/clamming/crabbing, mushroom foraging and watching sports
Advice for teenagers in high school?
If you are struggling, find the courage to reach out to a teacher, coach, counselor, medical provider, or trusted adult.
“Be kind to everyone you encounter, for you never know what internal struggle someone else is facing.” - Jeff Davis
Jennifer Hernandez, M.D.
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I decided to work at the health center for a couple of reasons. I love working with adolescents. There is a lot of opportunity to make a positive impact in patients' lives at this age and help them learn to advocate for themselves. Second I love the team based approach. Healthcare really works when you get to collaborate with others. Working alongside therapists and Behavioral health consultants allows us to treat the whole person. Our clinic also breaks down barriers to care by offering services to anyone who needs them regardless of ability to pay. It also offers easy access to healthcare services for patients in our districts.
Hobbies?
My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my three boys. When I am not doing that I like to practice yoga and spend time outdoors.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Teen age years can by the most stressful years of your life. I know that sometimes it can feel like you are the only one going through a stressful time but that's not true. It's hard. Reach out and ask for help and support. There are a lot of people out there who want to help you live your best life.
Tamara Mazelin, RN
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I decided to work at the school-based health center because I genuinely love working with kids! I know how difficult life as a kid can be sometimes and I really enjoy being a safe place and person for youth to come to for support.
Hobbies?
I know being a mom isn’t technically a hobby, but it’s my most favorite thing ever, so spending time with my kids is what I enjoy most in life. Outside of that, I love hiking, playing pretty much all sports, traveling anywhere where there’s sunshine and sand, hanging with my family and two cats, and spending time outdoors in nature as much as possible!
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Be yourself - your amazing, silly, authentic self! This will help bring unique and genuine friendships and people into your life that are just right for YOU! And remember that EVERYONE has struggles, even if it seems like they don’t, so never compare yourself to anyone else. You’re perfect just the way YOU are.
Lisa Sullivan, MD - Pediatric Medical Director
Dr. Sullivan completed her doctor of medicine degree and pediatric residency training at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque, NM.
Dr. Sullivan is fluent in Spanish and enjoys working with children and their families to promote and support optimal physical and emotional health from the newborn period through late adolescence. She is honored to be a member of the pediatric team at Gladstone Health Center.

Ben DeGiulio, LPC
Ben DeGiulio is a Licensed Professional Counselor add the program supervisor of the Mental and Behavioral staff at all of our School Based Health Centers. He has been a supervisor with Clackamas County Health Centers for 7 years. I decided to work at health centers out of a passion for service the population and dedication to supporting mental health professionals in their work. I enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. The advice I would give to teenagers in high schools is to remember, “this too shall pass” the good times and the bad.
Lilly Hankins, LCSW
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I believe that everyone should have access to mental health support, whoever and wherever they are, and love that our school-based health centers can provide that for people. I love being able to meet and work with students on-site, here at school, where young people spend so much of their time.
Hobbies?
I enjoy playing and having adventures with my 6-year old daughter, listening to all kinds of music, trying to grow veggies and fruit in my backyard, going camping and hiking, and dancing (pretty badly) whenever I can.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
This is from my perspective as a therapist, but I would say if you're overwhelmed or feel like you're struggling sometimes, you are not alone. Its okay if your life doesn't match up to what it seems like its “supposed” to from social media. Hang in there and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Celeste Isaacs, LCSW, CADC III
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I chose to work at a School Based Health Center because I want to work in a health care system that works hard to reduce all barriers for our clients to access the care they need. I am so proud to let our clients know that we can see them for mental health or physical health care at any time regardless of financial means or insurance. Adolescence can be a difficult time in a person’s life, and I am so grateful to be part of a team of providers who are here to support our teenage clients in every way possible.
Hobbies?
I have four teenage daughters and while they drive me crazy sometimes, I love hanging out with them! I also love to play and coach volleyball, I love weightlifting and yoga, and I ABSOLUTELY enjoy spending quality time with my two dogs on hikes and walks!
Advice for teenagers in high school?
High school is a difficult time for most students in so MANY different ways. I feel honored to be able to support teenagers navigating their high school experience. My advice to high school students is try to remember high school will be over in the blink of an eye and you will never get to do it again so learn, grow, and challenge yourself in ALL the ways possible!
Ian MacKay, LCSW
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I think supporting youth is one of the most important things you can do as an adult, and what better way than through the health center attached to their school? I care deeply about decreasing barriers to mental health care and the access that the school-based health center provides is incredibly important for the community.
Hobbies?
I enjoy exploring the outdoors, gardening, tinkering on projects and riding my bike.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Try your best to get outside as much has you can, eat healthy food, sleep well, drink water and exercise. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try your best and be easy on yourself. You’re doing great.
Jessica Montee, NCC, LPC
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
Hi, my names Jess (she/her/hers), and I love working in the health centers because I love working with young adults, and have experience working across the lifespan, and have found that working with teens is my sweet spot. It is one of the most challenging, yet dynamic and interesting times in someone’s life, and I'm honored to be part of that. I also love working in an integrated team, and always look forward to working along side my amazing co-workers.
Hobbies?
I enjoy many activities and am usually doing something somewhat active. I like to camp, garden, go for runs or hikes, and love spending time with my family and my two energetic dogs. I also like to read, and occasionally knit or play music.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Spend time to understand yourself and your own values (i.e. honesty, family, health, integrity, sense of humor, etc.). Having a clear understanding of your values can help you make tough decisions in life, if you are able to reflect on what is truly important to yourself, you are far more likely to make choices that are best for you and what is important in your life. By being true to yourself, you are far more likely to live a life you are proud of.
Stephanie Speidel, LPC
Why did you decide to work at the school based health center?
I decided to work in the health center because of my own experiences in adolescence, and recognizing that adolescence is one of the hardest times in life, where support is most needed. And, I just love working with teenagers! I feel lucky to say that I am never, ever bored at work.
Hobbies?

My advice for teenagers in high school: Find connections with in-person, IRL friends. Teenagers thrive when they have a group of peers that they feel safe with, and can be authentic around. If you are struggling to find your people, ask for help! You deserve a good group of friends, and your people are out there!
Sara Van Den Heuvel, LCSW
Why did you decide to work at the health center?
I believe that school-based health centers are truly amazing. I am passionate about providing mental health therapy to enable students to meet their goals and become their best selves. I feel lucky to work in a setting that reduces barriers to attending appointments and allows for coordination between school staff and medical care.
Hobbies?
When I am not working, I enjoy time with my toddler, husband, and two dogs, whether that be going for hikes or playing games. I feel most alive in nature and enjoy trail running, biking, and hiking. I also enjoy binge watching a good show and am hoping to get back into painting and printmaking.
Advice for teenagers in high school?
Advice to teens in high school: Taking time to care for yourself and understand what you need is important, not selfish. It takes time to understand how to balance things in life and needs often change. Give yourself time to understand when you need to push yourself and when you need to step back and take a break. We live in a culture of overwhelm and you are not meant to be 100% in a hundred different things. Allow yourself to be flexible and to change your mind when things are no longer working for you.
