Wow, the sheer amount of accessible information from and ….you don’t have to be a cancer survivor or even caregiver to benefit from their conferences and information. They have blogs and monthly webinars. Learn about navigating insurance, disability, legal and financial planning for chronic health conditions but also just for life.

Being a clinical licensure supervisor is such a privilege. Occasionally one of my former supervisee’s will surprise me with a thank you. This week I had just one of those experiences. It’s nice being appreciated. My cup is full. No, thank you!

Colleagues, I just scheduled 2 consultation appointments. One person happened to have learned about me from a YouTube. Apparently her professor played it in their class “Advanced Therapeutic Concepts” class. A video where I was giving some comparative discussion either on ethics or professional identity.

I haven’t shared a video in years so it was a pleasant surprise.

I also provide licensure consultation for LPC applicants in Georgia; practice consultation and of course clinical consultation are also in my wheelhouse.

Please feel free to remind me of all of your specialty areas in the comments.

I’m so proud to be represented by this incredible advocate! She was diagnosed at 33. While I was diagnosed at 44. Still we both fall in the fateful category of too young, too early; too soon; and too unexpected to be diagnosed with a yet to be cured Lung Cancer. Way to go Doc!

Diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer at 33, Sydney Barned, MD, a nonsmoker, is on a mission to get this disease the attention it deserves.
