History

Crossroads can be traced back to a solitary walk. Daniel Nelson was walking on the long driveway to his family farm in 1985. By the end of the walk, he shifted the direction of his future from agriculture to Counseling and Psychology based on a sense of calling to the field of Counseling. Daniel was set to attend North Dakota State University for Agricultural Engineering, but switched his major to Psychology the day he arrived at NDSU for freshman orientation. Having completed his bachelor’s degree through NDSU in 1989, he went on to Trinity Graduate School through Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL, obtaining his masters degree in Counseling Psychology in 1991. Daniel did supervised private practice in the greater Chicago area until 1994. He was on staff for one year at Wears Valley Children’s Ranch/School near West Century Sevierville Tennessee before moving to Minnesota in the fall of 1995, initially working as an independent contractor for a counseling agency/ministry. In February 1998, Crossroads was initially formed with two staff.
