Mental Health Professionals

As mental health professionals, it can be quite challenging to find the right person. I take the stance we all learned in graduate school - make sure you sit in the other seat.

This has been my experience: I am 100x better at my job when I address who I am, how I work, my relationships, my limitations, my insecurities, etc. I have to work with someone that can meet me where I am, exist in the room with another mental health professional…and that I can take off my doctor hat and just be a woman, wife, mother, friend…human. This person has come in different forms over my professional career as I sought the best for fit for me.

Like a family law attorney needing a divorce lawyer, or a doctor needing a doctor. Finding the right person can be quite challenging.

My experience has also been that as a professional group, we share characteristics that make us great at what we do, but also can make us tender, judgmental or suspicious when around each other.

So whether you call me or not as a potential fit, my best to you as you as you find what fits best for what you want to accomplish.
