Michelle VanderHeide, BSW

RDI® Certified Consultant

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am married to a wonderful man named Kevin. Together with have 2 beautiful daughters with another child on the way. We are anticipating this new addition to our family in the spring. Besides my family and work, I love to read, down hill ski, and bake. Unfortunately I don’t find enough time these days to do those things as often as I like!

Outside of my personal life I have a Bachelors degree in social work and am also an RDI® program Certified Consultant. I have been at Horizons for over four years and have been involved with RDI® for three of those years. RDI® has been the most wonderful, rewarding, and challenging job I have ever had. It has sparked a passion in me to see families come out of crisis and begin enjoying a changed relationship with their child. The families with whom I work are wonderful and all add a unique touch to my job, which I appreciate! The same is true of my co-workers who make coming to work so enjoyable. We all love working together and learn so much from each other on a daily basis. If you haven’t already considered Horizons as your home for treatment, I encourage you to do so. You’ll appreciate the comfortable feel the staff and center provide, and you’ll love being a part of our family!

See You Soon,
