My journey to mental healthcare
After completing my first graduate program I knew that I wanted to be a therapist. So I went back to school and got a master in counseling. It was journey I moved from Calif to Texas and started a whole new life without my family and friends. The journey at times was arduous and challenging. But with faith and determination I made it through.
