In 2020, as a LCSW I was working at a community mental health care agency that was focused on working with the foster care community. Throughout my time at the agency, I was the only therapist there and the only clinical support for the entire program. While it was rewarding in terms of the clients I worked with, I was drained in every other area. I felt completely and utterly depleted (and my bank account wasn’t so hot either).
While I was privileged enough to continue to be working in a time where many others were not, I realized I needed to have an outlet for some creativity and fun in a time where the world felt dark.
I’m now a TikTok Therapist with over 300k+ sweet friends, brands jumping into my DMs every day asking me to work with them, a FULLY booked private practice, AND I’m valued at a rate that is actually reflective of my education and expertise.
