This was my experience too and I learned it can take years of trial & error and under-served clients to finally feel confident.

Looking back, you know what would have helped me quicker and faster?

If I had somewhere to go to teach me all the things about providing direct therapy. 

I’m not talking about the basics I learned in grad school, I needed something MORE. From clinicians actually doing the work. I needed others to bounce ideas off of and specific training on the therapeutic process, from beginning to end. From assessment to termination and everything in between!

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place; I'm glad you're here!
