Pon Tingsuk, PPS
North Star Program Coordinator
My name is Pon Tingsuk, and I'm the program coordinator at NorthStar. I've been educated as a certified school counselor and am passionate about supporting school-age students. My goal is to promote a healthy school environment mindset and enhance a student's belief in the development of the whole self and the ability to succeed. I am providing various levels of support, including universal instruction (Tier 1), peer-to-peer mentoring (Tier 2), and emotional assistance for students in crisis.
Angela Linghu, OTR/L
Behavioral Health Case Manager
Hi there! I have been serving in clinical healthcare and preventative wellness settings for more than a decade. My background in orthopedics and neuro rehab has helped me gain a well rounded mind-body lens. I love that I get to bring my diverse and holistic experiences toward supporting students, families, and schools in Mono County. I handle your referral paperwork, but you can also find me running school-based peer groups, checking in with students, and hosting specialty camps. When not in the office, I'm an avid naturalist, east-west herbalist, pet mom, neuroscience nerd, and energy practitioner.
Jarred Nilsson
Marriage Family Therapist Trainee
I have been a Wilderness therapy guide with youth in Alaska, Hawaii, Utah and Colorado. I first traveled to California to climb and spent quality time with friends in Tahoe, Joshua Tree, and Yosemite. It was through these experiences that I learned I wanted to become a therapist, and work with both youth and their families towards healing.
I have always felt connected to nature and its therapuetic elements. I think we all have a place and purpose in this world. Sometimes life doesn't make sense in the moment, yet when I look back on my own every experience and connection it all adds up. I am a big advocate for mindfulness, experiential healing, while finding humor and fun along the way. (Practicing under Brianne Fulton, LPCC.)
