Community mental health built me into the therapist I am today.
The lessons, the challenges, the variety of people, the crisis work, the teamwork, the moments that stretched me far beyond what I thought I was capable of there is truly nothing that could have replaced that experience.
It gave me the foundation, confidence, and clinical instincts that I carry with me every single day.
While I’m incredibly proud of building practices of my own and creating something from the ground up, I’ll always be grateful for where I started. Community mental health didn’t just teach me how to be a therapist, it helped shape who I am as a person.
