Well....I finally took the plunge....I started my own counseling and mentoring agency. It's something I have been wanting to do for seven years! You may be wanting to ask, "why did it take you so long?" To be honest, I was scared. Scared that I wouldn't have a clue as to what I was doing. Scared that I wouldn't have anyone sign up to work with me. Scared that....that I might actually be good at it! Wait, what?!? Yup, I said it, scared that I might succeed. Fear is a natural human state. It is not something we can always avoid. The key is to feel the fear, and do the darn thing anyway!
All these big emotions wrapped up in this tiny little brain of mine. That's what makes me a pretty decent practitioner. Many of the techniques I use with my clients are tried and true because I've had to use them on myself. When we learn better, we do better. When we do better, we teach others to do the same, or at least we should teach others to do the same. We all have wisdom and experience that we can share to help someone else along their life path. I don't mind being on the front lines, sharing my vulnerabilities, mistakes, successes and hopes if it will help build someone else up.
Indianapolis Counseling and Mentoring was birthed out of spending two decades in the education system across the country, as a former military wife. I am intrigued by the struggles within a school. This could be students having a difficult time coming to school everyday or teachers that are struggling to keep up with demands of instructing and raising a family or administrators that work endless hours and neglect their own self care. These issues are my passion. It's what makes me get out of the bed each morning. The thought of helping someone take a small step to managing the chaos within their world makes me tick!
I hope to continue to be an asset to the world of education. I am here. Use me up!!
