Celebrating 25 Years with Canvas Health
Darcy Gassman
Darcy chose to join HSI in March of 1999. She was the therapist in one of our adolescent day treatment programs TLC 2, located in Oak Park Heights, for 14 years. After that program closed in 2013, she moved to Oakdale as the therapist at TLC. In 2017 she became the Lead Therapist and remains in that position today, with just a short 3 month stint to start our all-day TEC program.
At our recent staff event, we recognized 25 years of passion, unconditional positive regard, dedication, humor, excellent clinical skills, mentorship/leadership, and so much more. Of those attributes, we want to highlight specifically her passion. She never just “dials it in,” she continues to have the same level of excitement about her work as some of my new young therapists.
Darcy’s impact has reached hundreds of adolescents, their families, schools, co-workers, and communities. Because of Darcy, kids and their families have learned to love themselves, forgive, be vulnerable, love others, take risks, be assertive, set boundaries, accept themselves, and know their worth. On behalf of Canvas Health and the community we want to thank Darcy for her 25 years in day treatment, which is no small feat. We are truly better because Darcy continues to choose Canvas Health.
Congratulations, Darcy!
