Hi there!
Elisabeth (she/her) is a nationally certified school psychologist. She earned her master’s degree in child psychology and specialist degree in school psychology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Elisabeth Anderson is a neuro affirming neurodivergent provider. This means that she understands that individuals have differences in their abilities and how they interact with the world around them – differences which are not considered to be deficits that need to be “fixed.” Rather, she considers neurodiversity to be natural human condition.
Elisabeth has over 10 years public service experience and is the owner of Connected Family Practice. She is also the assessment director for The ABLE Center. Elisabeth has been recognized by families, colleagues, and school administrators for her leadership and knowledge as a policy writer, consultant and trainer. Elisabeth’s insights have made her a sought after internship supervisor. Elisabeth believes that families should be able to find the supports they need both during and after the identification process to build greater understanding of neurodivergent brains, their needs, and potential support options.
When not working, Elisabeth enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, traveling, or hanging out at home with her pets and plants.
Elisabeth is currently at capacity, and is not taking on any new on-going clients at this time. She is, however, available for evaluation appointments.

She provides supervision, consultation, and training nationally and internationally while maintaining a passion for cooking, reading, and traveling.
Malinda currently has openings for on-going clients.
