— Christy, Professionally mentored by Tricia
Tricia has been an amazing mentor. She is so kind and encouraging and has a wealth of information to share. After each of our meetings, I come away with a full page of notes of practical therapy tips, wisdom for working with different types of clients, how to survive grad school, and so much more. Tricia is always eager to learn herself, and I love her openness to discussion about a myriad of helpful topics. I’m very thankful to know Tricia and be mentored by her!
