Even before COVID, rates of depression and anxiety were much higher in health care providers and nurses than the general public. The stresses of working through the pandemic have only exacerbated this distress.

Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support?

Nobody wants to experience limitations, yet we all have them to some degree. People with chronic illness or disability experience limitations thrown at them by other, even really well-meaning people. Learning to live our best lives while also living with chronic illness and disability matters! As both a registered nurse and licensed social worker, I know some things that might help.
Many pre-licensed therapists, counselors, and socials workers are unable to obtain clinical supervision for their independent practice license from their employers.
I offer lower-fee options for individual and group supervision for future LCSWs, LPCs, and LMHCs in Pennsylvania, Washington State, and New Jersey.
I prioritize working with folks in public service roles such as community health/mental health, drug and alcohol treatment programs with a majority of Medicaid-funded clients, schools, and other public health roles.
stop doing battle with yourself and learn how to befriend your brain in the search for more peace and freedom.
