Sharing from TCK Hub.

“Where are you from?”
Sounds simple; until it’s not.

The term “Third Culture Kid” (TCK) was introduced by Ruth Hill Useem after noticing that some kids don’t fully belong to one culture…or another.

So they build their own.

A “third culture.”

According to David C. Po***ck and Ruth Van Reken, TCKs grow up across cultures - connected to many, claimed by none.

Military • Diplomats • Missionaries • Global business • NGOs • International education

It’s not confusion.
It’s complexity.

What has “home” meant for you over time?

Grateful to be part of this space.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to connect with a few clinicians here in Texas who left a strong impression on me.

What stood out wasn’t just their credentials; it was how they approached the work.

They asked thoughtful questions.
They paid attention to fit.
They care about doing things well, not just quickly.

That matters.
Good care takes thought.

When I refer someone out - whether for psychiatric care or something more specialized - I’m paying close attention to who practices with that level of thoughtfulness and integrity.

I’m grateful to know clinicians like Dr. Alisha Fluker and Dr. Leah Bortnick, who bring that level of care to their work.

This is the kind of network I continue to build around Worley Behavioral Health; one grounded in trust, collaboration, and good clinical judgment.

I recently attended a continuing education training with Dr. Bianca R. Augustine, CCTP, LPC, and it reinforced something I think about often in both clinical work and care coordination:

Some of the most important conversations people need to have don’t always clearly “belong” in just one place.

I remember having conversations with my OB/GYN about some of these topics at a time when I was trying to understand where they even fit. He mentioned those kinds of questions don’t come up very often in that setting, and that really stayed with me.

Not because the questions were uncommon.
But because they didn’t have a clear place to go.

That’s part of what made this training so meaningful. Dr. Augustine created space for conversations about sexuality, identity, stigma, culture, and silence to be explored with real clinical depth and humanity.

And it reminded me how often these conversations sit at the intersection of:
• therapy
• OB/GYN
• primary care
• psychiatry
• other medical settings

When they are not fully held in one space, strong referral relationships matter even more.

Because if something is not the right fit in one setting, there should always be a next step. Another provider. Another door.

That is a big part of why I started building the WBH Texas Referral Ecosystem — to help make those connections more seamless for both clinicians and clients.

Grateful for clinicians like Dr. Bianca R. Augustine, CCTP, LPC who are helping move these conversations forward.

If you work in a medical or mental health setting and see this kind of overlap in your work too, I’d love to stay connected.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve already had some great conversations with clinicians across Texas around this idea — including connections with Dr. Ahedor at Soul Spring Psychiatry PLLC in El Paso and Alisha Fluker, PMHNP at at in Carrollton, among others.
Thank you for being part of the ecosystem conversations ... I truly appreciate the collaboration.

It’s encouraging to see how many thoughtful professionals are doing meaningful work in different corners of the state.

The goal of the Texas Referral Ecosystem is simple: building relationships so when someone relocates or needs support outside our scope, we have trusted colleagues we can reach out to.

I especially value connecting with prescribing providers and clinicians working in specialized areas of care, since strong collaboration across disciplines benefits the clients we serve.

If you're a clinician in Texas and open to connecting around referrals, feel free to share what city or region you serve and the populations you most enjoy working with.
