I'm a counsellor in the UK and have recently started my private practice. Your videos, authenticity and perspective helps me to balance my own perspective and self-expectations. Your videos always make me smile when I'm watching 🥰 Thank you!
This means the world to me, thank you so much 🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I'm a social worker (LSW) and I can feel the passion you have for your work through this video.
Aww thank you! So happy you’re here tysm for watching ☕️😊
Be true to yourselves. One thing I learned early is : If you don't take care of You, there will be no You to take care of anyone and that is not just in our jobs but in our personal lives too
Agencies are not always honest about expectations and quotas until you have already started the job and at times signed a contract often with a no compete clause.
Thiiiiiis 💯 It’s a hard truth when you love the work you’re doing BUT essential. One of the most important lessons in our career for sure. Appreciate you, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience. I currently work in community health and can definitely relate to many of the issues you brought up. I love the work I am doing with my clients and see the impact being made to people who really need services, but I have also had to make sure I have really healthy boundaries and self-care to maintain my own mental and emotional health. I just got fully licensed in Oklahoma on June 6, 2024 and am taking my time exploring the options I now have available to me. I appreciate this video and you!
First off, yeeeeees CONGRATULATIONS on being fully licensed! 🎉🎉🎉👏🏼 I’m so happy for you! It really is hard when you know the urgency and how important the work you do is. Thank you for your time and the work you do for your community❤️ So proud of you for looking into other options and exploring.
You are such a beautiful person 💓
Everyone deserves a great counselor like you!

I appreciate you speaking about your experience. I am a mental health counselor in New York and work at an agency. I’ve unfortunately had to cut my hours due to some health concerns and have experienced so much anxiety due to the scheduling pressures and certain policies. I have been thinking strongly about finding a new environment and I appreciate your thoughts ❤ I laughed at the drinking the koolaid part because it’s been such a rollercoaster of that and wanting to leave. The clients I work with definitely make it hard to leave too. I too wish I had an exit plan lol that being said my agency seems to have the smallest caseloads but we still have so much pressure and have unrealistic workloads.
Thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏼 Your health matters more than any quota or policy, so proud of you for trying to care for yourself. You get it 💯🫣 it’s so hard when the unrealistic policies get in the way of our work and health. I hope you’re able to transition into something that’s more sustainable, I’m rooting for you🥹👏🏼
I appreciate your honest share with this! I’m in internship at a private practice, but I’m seeing others in my cohort under the agency pressure already! And of course, friends that have already graduated. I can see how it’s rewarding and it feels like a badge of honor, buuuut then you really have to consider how much it’s affecting your own health. This whole experience is so interesting and special!
Are you FT in your virtual private practice? I’m curious about your supervision experience- are you in your post 2k hrs? If so, are you getting supervision at a practice as a 1099? Or paying for supervision on your own?
I’m so curious of what my experience is going to be like at the end of internship and also when should I start my PLLC… What did you get going while you were still in school?
Any and all guidance is appreciated, nice to see you again! 🙏🌙☺️
Thanks for sharing your experience!😊 I’m part-time and see 6-12 clients a week. I finished supervision (3,000hrs) so I’m on my own now as an LPC but when I was an LPC-A and was supervised I worked one year for someone else’s practice and then when the rules changed in Texas I launched my practice as an LPC-A. I would meet once a week with my supervisor virtually.
Yay!! I love your day in the life videos!!!
I’m so glad you like them😊 Hope you have a great weekend!
I just applied for my LPC Associates! I am so excited for this next journey.
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!🎉🎉🎉🥹
Hello👋😊 Nice to see you again. THANK YOU for the video and I wish you success in everything. Maťa from Slovakia 👋😊🇸🇰🌱🍀
Hi! 😊👋🏼 Thank you for watching 🥹🫶🏼
I’m so happy for you. I’m excited to become an LPC one day too. Thanks for explaining the process🎉
Thank you so much! I’m really excited for you🫶🏼
Thanks for this video! Would you be able to make a video about skills you learned for trauma informed care? What goes into making a crisis plan with a client, what happens when a client goes into crisis in session, etc, we don’t get taught that enough in grad school and it would be great to know how someone in it has navigated it!
@@fativism Definitely saving this for my next video. Thank you so much!
I found you recently and have been watching all of your videos! Would you be willing to make a video about difficult parent and adult children relationships, specifically related to Latina culture? You speak a lot about our culture and I would really love to hear what you have to say about the topic of difficult parent/adult child relationships, having to cut off those parents, and how difficult that can be in our culture. 💗 thank you for everything you’re doing! I wish you were in Arizona!
@@ngirl8032 Thank you so much for watching and for the suggestion. I’d love to talk about it more in a future video.😊
