Jenny says- “Over the last 3 ½ years I have been working in Family Based as the bachelor’s level clinician. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that this job is no joke. From the long workdays to crisis situations, what makes it worth it, is the families. It has been such an amazing journey to go through with the families and witness when they are willing to do something different about their situations at home. It is kinda crazy how much can change over the course of eight (8) months. I have worked with my partner, Jen Kirk, who has been doing this job well over 15 years and our differences have created a complimentary partnership in treatment. Over this period (3 ½ years), I have found my voice and learned my style. This process of competency has helped build my own confidence to the point that I have been excited to teach my new partner and help him develop his voice. I have learned various techniques, interventions, the importance of joining with families, and how to anchor skills for the long haul. I do not think I could have achieved this accomplishment without my supervisor, teammate, training cohort, and the training center. I am excited for what the future holds!”
