An introduction (Finally!)
Good morning, Thank you @Lorena Quintana Gallion ❤️ for encouraging me to join this community! I actually joined a few months ago, but I haven’t had the opportunity to formally introduce myself. So, I made it my mission to do it TODAY! 😊 I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and South Carolina. I’m currently working in community mental health, and if I’m being transparent… I’m feeling the burnout! I also own a private practice that is currently in a rebranding phase as I prepare to become credentialed with Medicaid. It has definitely been a journey! Ultimately, my goal is to transition into running my private practice full-time. Some days that goal feels completely possible, and other days it feels so far away. But I’ve been watching the successes shared in this group, and it reminds me that building a successful and sustainable private practice is possible for me too. I’m excited to finally introduce myself, connect with other therapists/counselors and practice owners, learn from your experiences, and soak up as much knowledge as I can along the way. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Another Goal Hit
Hello Team, I hope all is well. When I first started this journey, one of the questions Arisza asked me (and Lorena)"How much do you want to make in a month?" I told her 10k as one of my goals. I knew that in order to hit this goal, this meant that I needed to make at least 5K every two weeks. Now I can say that we are now a little over 5k in two weeks and working towards 10K for the month. This is while seeing 20-25 clients per week using Headway. I'm now seeing the clients from the two contracts I told everyone about a month ago which will help me get closer to the 10k mark. I'm not putting this information here to brag, but to show my fellow therapist that when you follow the Play Arisza hands out, you will see the results. Big Shout Out to Arisza for her Leadership. 10K loading..... Team if you have any questions please ask. We are all in this together.

This is awesome news. Wow!!!!! My dream too. I have completed the process through Headway. I have been studying and navigating this process on my own. But here's where I am so far. I'm formulating a plan for my website and also obtaining certifications. I've completed the training for CBT-C. I just need to do 2 case consultations to submit to Evergreen Certifications. I've also completed the training for C-DBT. I'm waiting for my confirmation email. Thankfully, the hospital (where I work part-time) helped me submit for credentialing under my current business name. I want my therapy business to have a different name so I've been playing around with names for that as we're gearing up to create the website. I have my HIPAA compliant phone number through Spruce as well.
