Spend the afternoon with me as a counseling grad student🤸🏻‍♀️🧠🩵

I’ve been in my mental health counseling graduate program for a little over a year now and honestly questioned a lot this summer if this was what I really wanted to do. After starting my intro to play therapy class this fall I know this is exactly where I need to be! Thankful to be here!💛💛💛 #diml #playtherapy #gradstudent #counseling
