A Resource Hub for New Mental Health Therapists by a Mental Health Therapist.

Hi Everyone! I’m Josie!

I am a wife, mama of twins, therapist, practice owner, professor, supervisor, and podcaster!

In this little corner of the internet, I strive to use this resource hub to build community with others by sharing my stories and lived experiences, so we all can learn, together.

Here's my story!

Why Create the Mental Health Therapist Hub?

After years of classes, internships, part-time jobs, and loans, I thought I knew everything I needed to know to navigate the social work and mental health field. However, I quickly learned that the book knowledge and lived experience I had did not inevitably mean I knew how to negotiate a salary or know what to ask when interviewing a supervisor.

It was disappointing and created a fear that I did not think I could experience…

In figuring It out, I did a great deal of research, completed more extensive training, built a group private practice, and became an adjunct professor…

As I teach, supervise interns, and support new professionals, I realize that very little has changed regarding my experiences. There is so much new mental health therapists don’t know as we get ready to graduate.

Now, I want to change that.

The purpose of the Mental Health Therapist Hub is to create a range of accessible self-paced resources on this site and throughout our social media that help new and transitioning mental health therapists ask the right questions and create the careers of their dreams.

We shouldn’t be making the same mistakes over and over. It’s time that we point new and transitioning clinicians; social workers, marriage & family therapists, counselors, psychologists, etc. in the right direction.

So I decided its time to end the confusion, and build a hub of resources that you can go to, at your own pace to help you grow!
