1. What's your practice focus and what kind of clients knock on your door ?
I help millennial who are dealing with anxiety and stress understand the importance of self-care to improve overall wellbeing.
2. Tell us about yourself.
I wanted to work with clients who fit within my niche. I was working in community mental health and I decided to try to help clients who sometimes feel overwhelmed but sometimes minimize their problems. I enjoy seeing the transformation and how doing the work is helpful for clients.
3. Tell us the story of a patient who you are most proud of helping.
I had a client who came for their partner but was overall reluctant and guarded. They began to open up and became more in touch with thoughts and feelings throughout the process.
4. What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a practitioner in private practice?
I struggle with marketing and sometimes dealing with insurance can be a back and forth.
5. What are the top 3 tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a private practice today?\
The top 3 things I would suggest to someone would be:
- Get coaching
- Do research on what will be best for you
- Be open to learning and growing
