You graduate and are now out in the world as a new therapist, determined to help others.  Maybe you go through the grunt work at an agency where you see 35+ clients a week with low pay to get licensed and now you want something different. You want flexibility with your schedule – to get to choose the clients you work with, and you want to be paid well. 
​
You went to graduate school to become a therapist so that you can help those struggling with their mental health and those who have experienced trauma, not to learn about business and marketing. So either you’re nervous to start your private practice because you are worried you won’t be able to get clients or maybe you jump into private practice and have the constant worry that you will never have a sustainable caseload.

 What if I told you that you could have a never ending stream of new client inquiries AND help those who do not always have access to the mental health care they need?

90 degree days are here! Time to go swimming and camping. Time to stay up late and time to sleep the day away.
 
These are some of the things that my boys are loving about summer.

So, why is this shift from summer vacation back to the routine of school days difficult for children with ADHD?
