Our team

Jesse Jonesberg, MSW, LCSW, CPS

Lead Trainer & LCSW Supervisor

Jesse has spent more than 20 years in community mental health, working directly with people and training the teams who support them. He’s a neurodivergent clinician with lived experience of ADHD, and that experience shapes how he teaches: conversational, practical, and with plenty of room for people to learn in their own way.

Jesse is a long-time member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, a certified Brainspotting therapist, certified in Mindful Self-Compassion in psychotherapy, and a Certified Peer Specialist. He has provided clinical supervision for 8 years and supervises social workers toward Wisconsin LCSW licensure.

He cares a lot about the people doing helping work, and about making sure they have the skills and support to keep doing it well.

Shaina Buckner, MSW, APSW

Trainer, Coach, Consultant

Shaina is an APSW trainer and therapist with nearly a decade of experience in trauma-informed care. A noncombat Navy veteran, she left active duty with a desire to serve in more meaningful ways and eventually built a grant-funded role at a nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Shaina is an experienced trainer on topics related to neurodivergence, trauma, cultural humility, and the application of motivational interviewing.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman of European and West African descent and a member of the asexual community, she often works with neurodivergent adult women navigating similar histories. Shaina creates a comfortable, collaborative space for clients to reconnect with themselves—exploring their voice, body signals, values, boundaries and interests. Her work centers on authenticity, empowerment and helping people feel safe to be fully themselves.
