Next in her career, Lynsay served as a Clinical School Social Worker at Broome-Tioga BOCES, where she worked with students in grades K-9 who were experiencing complex trauma and severe mental health and behavioral challenges that prevented them from thriving in a general education setting. Currently, Lynsay is a therapist at Whole Wellness Counseling in our Binghamton, NY office!
