GREAT NEWS! There’s a new therapist in town…read below for more information on her:
“My name is Alexis Adelman but I go by Lexy. I grew up in the Ortonville area and graduated from Ortonville High School. I have moved to Tennessee, Arizona, and California while obtaining my education, and came back to set roots down in my hometown. I graduated from MSU Moorhead with my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Minor in Coaching. I continued my education with Walden University and obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Trauma and Crisis.
I work with clients of any age, but do have a special interest in working with children and young adults. Meeting my clients where they are is what I strive to offer. Being there for you and building a strong foundation for healing is what you can expect when having me as your therapist. I use a blend of Talk Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy techniques tailored to what works best for each individual.”

Today we are highlighting housing options in the community of Ortonville. Ortonville sits along the shores of Big Stone Lake, our largest populated town, and our County Seat (Big Stone County). Check out Ortonville’s www.relaxurhere.com landing page which provides a quick overview of the community.
We’ll start with Fairway View Communities (pictured above, as the header of this page). To start, we should mention that there is no long-term lease requirement – you can rent month to month! If you are 55+ years old and looking for an apartment (without services or as the name implies – “catered” options based on your selections!), make sure to check out Fairway view – great access (and views) to our 18-hole municipal course, not much of a drive down to the Big Stone Lake docks if fishing is your thing, and of course plenty of biking, hiking, and hunting options. With someone else taking care of the lawn and housing maintenance, you are left with more time for some fun! — As you can see from the photo, there are multiple sections to the Fairway View Senior Communities complex – they also offer assisted living and Fairway View Neighborhoods which have a skilled nursing staff. There are also a few short-term stay rooms (hotel-type feel, photo of one included below) for those visiting family & friends living at Fairway view — and if you would like to try out the facility or are in need of an apartment with more convenience while you are recovering and are in need of home health or physical therapy services, they have a short-term stay! Check out their website www.fairwayview.usÂ
