My name is Kylie Swaleh, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that has been working in the evidence based practice of MST for 5 years.  I started as an MST therapist in the Sacramento area working with youth ages 12-17.5 and I am trained and enjoy utilizing contingency management (CM).  I was promoted to Supervisor/ Manager for our MST teams in Sacramento 2 years ago.  I now currently run the only team of MST therapist in the Sacramento area.  Throughout my time working in MST, I have acquired knowledge working with youth that participate in substance abuse, trafficked youth (CSEC), severe aggression, AWOL behavior, theft, school behavioral issues, and truancy. 

I have over 14 years with the MST program as a therapist and as a supervisor! I am looking for new challenges and to further promote the use of MST as an effective and successful treatment of youth and families. My experience has allowed me to work with over 500 families as either therapist or in the capacity as a supervisor. I have trained new clinicians and brought on board the MST PSB adaption to partner with our standard MST team. Our outcomes were excellent and retention of clinicians was much higher than the average with many working 5+ years. I can attest that MST changes lives and creates a positive impact generationally. I am immensely proud of what I have accomplished and of the work my team has done. MST is just simply the best approach to very complex family challenges and needs. It instills a sense of order, promotes problem solving over reactivity and affords the clinicians with the needed support and feedback to confidently treat very high risk youth and their families. I welcome hearing from you and knowing more about the needs of your organization. Edith (Edie) Zars

Hello! My name is Janelle McKinnon and I have been working in the MST program in Grand Rapids, MI since 2014. I started as an MST therapist and now am the MST supervisor. The MST model is highly effective and a clear match for my skill-set. I thoroughly enjoy providing case feedback utilizing the MST analytic process and principles. I see myself continuing to enhance these skills and train and coach others in the effective treatment modality. I also speak, read and write in Spanish and am passionate in using my Spanish abilities in my work. If needed, I am open to relocation.  Thank you for your consideration! 

I am a  mental health counselor who is extremely passionate about supporting families specifically families with high risk adolescents.  I am also fully aligned with the MST model, its approach and philosophy to support families in need and address systemic concerns. I am fully invested in this work and have been motivated since attending 5 day as an MST therapist to continue strengthening my understanding and utilization of the model not just to support families but also to support other professionals in the field develop and strengthen their skills to support our communities.
