I’m a mental health counselor, specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’m a very client-focused therapist. I help people work through their past traumas, belief systems, and insecurities while bringing emphasis to their strengths, resilience, and self-awareness.

My typical day

I get in the office around 7:30 am and start to see clients from 8 am until about 6 pm Monday- Friday. I typically have a fully booked calendar knowing that there maybe one or two cancellations throughout the week. I do not see clients on Thursdays; however, on this day I will work on my website, catch up on administrative tasks and occasionally complete a training course in a new therapeutic modality or attend a class teaching me something new in the mental health field. I make it a point to not work over the weekends as I’ve learned that self-care is extremely important in this business.

Pros

• I get to set my own schedule.
• I determine my client’s treatment plans based on my client’s needs.
• Get as many vacation days as needed.
• Weekends off.
• It’s always interesting because you get to meet new people on a regular basis.
• I love helping people and seeing them grow.
• I’m my own boss.

Cons

• A day off means you’re not getting paid.
• You don’t get paid for your time completing clients’ notes and administrative tasks.
• No paid sick or vacation days.
• It’s up to you to market yourself, build your website, and bring in new clients.
