As January winds down, take a moment to celebrate the small wins.

💛 Got out of bed on a hard day? That counts.
💛 Checked in on a friend? That matters.
💛 Made space for a breath, a pause, or a moment of calm? That’s growth.

Every step forward—no matter how small—is worth honoring.

Meet our staff:
Megan Liverseed, MSW, LGSW

Megan earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Winona State University. Prior to joining our team, she gained experience as a clinical intern in Wisconsin and as a case manager, supporting individuals through care coordination, assessments, and community-based services. This role is Megan’s first post–graduate “big kid job,” and she brings deep passion and curiosity into her work.

Megan was drawn to the therapy field through a lifelong desire to help others and a strong belief in the healing power of connection. As she learned more about how systems, environments, and lived experiences shape mental health, social work felt like a natural fit. She feels honored to walk alongside clients and provide the same compassion and support she knows can make a meaningful difference.

Megan works with clients of various ages and supports concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices that help clients feel grounded, safe, and connected to their bodies. Whether that means sitting on the floor, doodling during session, or using fidgets, Megan prioritizes creating a space where clients can show up exactly as they are.

Megan hopes clients leave sessions feeling empowered, relieved, and reminded that healing is a process—one that doesn’t have to happen all at once. She believes therapy is for everyone and views it as an act of strength, curiosity, and self-compassion.

For those who feel nervous about starting, Megan encourages approaching therapy with curiosity and grace, just as you would offer compassion to someone you care about.

Outside of work, Megan supports her own mental health by spending time with family, friends, her fiancé, and her dog. She enjoys getting outside, taking unplugged walks, listening to music, relaxing in comfy clothes, and finding joy in everyday human moments.

If Megan sounds like a good fit for you, she would be grateful to support you as you take that first step—at your own pace.

Here in Minnesota, winter asks a lot of us. The cold lingers, the days are short, and the world can feel loud, tense, and overwhelming. If you’ve noticed your energy dipping or your mood feeling heavier lately, you’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.

This season is a time of wintering: slowing down, turning inward, and conserving energy. Just like the earth rests beneath the snow, we’re allowed to rest too.

🌱 Maybe today’s win is getting out of bed.
🌱 Maybe it’s texting someone you trust.
🌱 Maybe it’s simply breathing through the day with kindness toward yourself.

None of that is “too small.” It all counts.

Light doesn’t disappear in winter.
It gathers quietly, waiting.
And so do we.
Brighter days will return, and until then, it’s okay to move gently, take up space, and ask for warmth in whatever ways you can.

Be soft with yourself. You’re carrying more than you realize. 💙

Meet our staff:
Hannah Fisher, MS

Hannah earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse and her Master of Science from Winona State University. She is a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and is currently working toward licensure as a Professional Clinical Counselor.

Hannah chose to become a therapist because she believes deeply in the power of being heard. In a fast-paced and often overwhelming world, she values slowing down, listening, and truly taking the time to understand each person’s story. Her goal is to provide a space where clients feel supported, understood, and never alone.

Hannah works with clients ages 8 and up and has experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She provides care for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns -- always meeting clients where they are.

Hannah hopes clients leave sessions feeling heard, cared for, and supported. She strives to walk alongside clients through some of life’s most challenging moments and believes therapy doesn’t have to be scary. It’s about finding the right fit and building trust at your own pace.

Outside of work, Hannah enjoys spending time outdoors, going for walks with her dog, Kash, gardening, and staying connected with family and friends as part of her own self-care.

If Hannah sounds like a good fit for you or your family, she would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

As we step into a new year, we’re carrying one thing with us above all: hope. 💙

At Spero, hope isn’t just part of our name—it’s the heart of everything we do. It’s in every conversation, every act of service, and every connection we make with our community.

Whether 2025 was full of growth or full of challenges (or both), we want you to know that you’re doing better than you think. You’re not alone. And you are worthy of support, joy, and peace in the year ahead.

Here’s to 2026—another year of healing, helping, and showing up for one another.

Imagine a housing solution that doesn’t rely on a single dollar of government funding: just the strength and generosity of our community! That’s exactly what we’re building together in Steele County. Thanks to dedicated partners like the Housing Crisis Triage and Diversion Programming Team, neighbors like Natalie (who recently found temporary housing thanks to community sponsorships), and YOUR ongoing support, we’re proving real change is possible.

Want to be part of the next big step? Join us at the Community Summit (in partnership with Spero MN) on January 29 to share your voice, meet local leaders, and help craft bold solutions. Every gift this season: no matter the size: directly closes our just over $140,000 year-end campaign gap and fuels hope for families right here at home.

Let’s lift each other up! Donate today and make stronger than ever.

Earlier this month, our Spero team bundled up and joined the Annual Main Street Lighted Parade—and it was pure joy to see our community shining bright together.

“We realized we didn’t just need to reintroduce ourselves to the community—we needed to relearn the community, too.”

At Spero, we’re proud of the care we provide—therapy, recovery support, skills training, and more. But true impact starts with listening.

That’s why we’ve been spending real time in Dodge, Steele, and Waseca counties—learning what people need now, so we can show up with services that meet them where they are.

Because hope doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in connection.

We all do better when we all do better.

As we head into the heart of the holiday season, this message feels especially true.

Whether you're offering a kind word, volunteering your time, or simply checking in on someone you care about—these small, generous acts help build a stronger, healthier community for all of us.

At Spero, we’re proud to be part of a network of local partners, neighbors, and changemakers who believe that hope grows when it’s shared.

Wishing you warmth, peace, and connection this holiday week.
