I do not manage you, and I will not hedge. Please, judge me by my fruits. 

Hello, I am Jace Hudon, LMSW 6281317. 

There is no distinction between who I am in my occupation and who I am in my personal sphere. Kuna is my hometown. My growth has taken place publicly. I am known here. My family is known here. I have spent my upbringing being the 'provided for'. I am proud to have grown up here and to serve my community. 

I operate a 24 hour outpatient therapy office on Main St in Kuna. A lot of you will recognize the address because my office is inside Color Me Green Salon, which has been around over a decade and a half. 

I do not bill insurance intentionally. Care is not about surveillance; it is about advocacy. To make sure my charting is not a source of harm, I only utilize an honor-system pay-what-you-can model. 

The state gives my license formal authority, but its value is what it allows me to do on your behalf. 

My standing and expertise are solely a tool for advocating for your needs and supporting your direction. I reject the word "treatment." I am not treating you; I am being fully present with you as a human being. In my room, we use diagnosis not a label, but a tool to derive understanding, access resources, and foster growth. In my room, you are the sole authority over your self, your actions, and your outcome. 

More

What I bring is broad, hands-on experience navigating crisis settings and working alongside teams of professionals. As a specialist in my field, there are only two specialties recognized by the state; schools and addiction. I took the required courses and practicum experiences to be fully qualified in both of my field's specialties. Because I hold state specialties in schools and addiction, I understand the complex legal, educational, and court systems deeply. Social work itself is a specialty in the mental health field. I work explicitly with you to build actionable coping skills while I use my state authority to manage and comply with the system's demands from underneath. 

I provide care across the life span, across culture, across individuals and families, and whatever else a human goes through. Why spend all this time qualifying; I am trained to work with humans: you can just insert yourself. Saying I only provide care to one subset or group is a complete failure of my training and the praxis I am supposed to have. 

I cannot sit there, honest to god, and treat a person as if a problem is located within them. My job is to look taa person and ask what experience they are undergoing they do not find pleasurable and to sit with that and make movement. You have a very real experience and there is nothing that requires me to sit there and try to alter your experience to make it or you palatable. That is a failure to recognize the human that you are, the experiences you are having, and the care you are asking for and deserve. 

I work frequently with individuals managing complex realities. I have experience with domestic violence and sexual violence in crisis intervention settings. I have immense personal and occupational experience with physical, medical, and neurodivergent realities including hEDS, POTS, mitochondrial disease, MCAS, ADHD, and Autism. I have specialty in the physiological impacts of psychiatric medications particularly around substance use & addiction, withdrawal, and dependence. 

I specialize in working with children and in schools, fighting for accommodations within inaccessible systems, and coordinating care and case management within the community. Whether interfacing with law enforcement, navigating legal & institutional systems, or protecting your autonomy in the room; my scope is to operate strictly as your advocate.

Diagnosis & Record Keeping

My occupational work extends into your personal life, and I am deeply aware of that. 'Mental Health' is deeply rooted in material condition and history. My expertise extends from policy and governing bodies down to the direct, everyday impact of those systems on people in their living rooms and on the street. When that systemic chain breaks, my job is to hook it back together and force the gears to work for you.

Across every aspect of care, from note-taking & documentation to parent child rights, I am blessed as a provider by the state that I get to operate with absolute confidentiality and transparency. Documentation is never shared outside my room to your insurance, your employer, or external authorities without your direction. Documentation is the working heart of my occupation: it exists purely as a tool of advocacy and protection that holds me accountable to you and the standards of my field.

Money - Mutual Cooperative 

Social work is rooted in grassroots mutual aid and self-reliance. That shapes how this practice operates financially.

I operate on an honor-system pay-what-you-can model. As an independent provider, I am not beholden to insurance panels or their billing mandates. The state requires that I document a valid clinical reason for our care and chart how I deliver it. Money is entirely secondary to human care and advocacy.

You choose what you pay me. If you choose to pay, I ask you to select an amount that reflects your intent and commitment to this shared work. This is not just a fee for an hour in a chair; it is cooperative community care. The community provides me with the funds to offer care back to the community. You are part of that ecosystem whether you contribute into the fund or draw from it.

As an absolute rule, I refuse to accept money that creates personal strain, food insecurity, or material hardship. If paying creates strain in your household, I ask you to let our community support you and draw freely from the mutual fund. 

Court advocacy, casework, school coordination, and documentation are not add-on billables in my practice. They are the standard of care. I refuse to charge administrative fees, court surcharges, or no-show penalties for the time spent protecting your life outside the room.

Scope of Practice

While my scope as a master's-level social worker is expansive and I am trained to diagnose and navigate anything in the DSM from F codes to Z codes, I maintain clear operational boundaries:

• I am not medical or EMS.

• I cannot prescribe medication or diagnose physical medical conditions.

• I am not a lawyer, a cop, or an agent of law enforcement.

Some people want to know more about my primary practice areas. While I reject the premise I provide care to just these groups, you can start down some holes here:

• Lived Experiences & Systemic Realities

• Therapeutic Approaches

I want to make something explicit as well.  

The moment a field rebrands itself from a trade into a "profession," it stops evaluating itself on tangible output and starts obsessing over etiquette, credentialism, and tone-policing. 

An occupation is work grounded in utility. 

• A carpenter builds a square frame or doesn't. 

• A crisis worker de-escalates or doesn't. 

Tradespeople don't have to demand you call them "sir" to prove they know how to work with wood or metal.

In this work, my authority does not exist purely on paper. I have no reason to panic when someone tests my foundation. This work is what occupies my hands and my time. I choose direct responsibility to the people right in front of me.
