About
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to view my profile.
My name is Colleen Elam. I am a 30 year old single mother of 3 beautiful boys aged 7 and 5 year old twins. My passion for psychology was instilled in me at a very young age. Growing up, my parents would watch true crime documentaries and I always felt a sense of wanting to help the victims and bring justice to them. As I became older, my passion began growing more. I have myself gone through traumatic experiences which allows me a certain perspective of understanding deeper as well as being able to relate on a different level. With the mental health crisis in America increasing and the support not being available, I want to be apart of the success in helping those dealing with mental health illnesses and become the best version of themselves.
