It's such a bummer when people tell me their counselor is not a good fit for them. Maybe it's the way their counselor speaks to them, their philosophies, or even the fact that their schedules don't align.

Whatever the reason, it's disheartening because it usually took someone A LOT of courage to even consider starting the therapeutic process.

Luckily, there are a TON of great ways to ensure you find a good therapeutic fit. Gathering referrals and evaluating a counselor's website are just a couple ways, but the one that will REALLY give you the best insight is the phone consultation. The blog below covers how to make the most of this 15-20 minute conversation and offers questions for you to consider asking your potential counselor.

PS I always love it when potential clients tell me they're interviewing other therapists too, so make sure you schedule a few chats and pick the counselor that is best for you. Good luck out there, ya'll!

Thank you, for such a wonderful evening! Your members really leaned into the presentation activities and did great work last night. They dug deep! I couldn't have asked for a better in-person experience. It felt great to be out in the world again.

My presentation on Burnout and Tackling Negative Self-Talk will come out as a course in the future, so if anyone is interested in going through it themselves or sharing it with someone they know, a link to the e-course waitlist is at https://www.tamaraclarkson.com/e-courses

As the world opens up, a lot of people are wondering which virtual aspects of their life will continue and which will disappear.

Will they keep zooming with people across the country? Will virtual meetings continue in the workplace? Will people ever return to talking on the phone again? 🤞

We don’t know the answers to these questions yet, but when it comes to career exploration and the job search, I’m confident that virtual networking is here to stay.

Some of the reasons? Folks no longer question if meaningful connections can be made over zoom, and the convenience that online networking provides is just too good to pass up.

So how can we make the most of virtual networking? And, specifically, how can introverts overcome some of the innate hurdles of virtual networking and make the most of its advantages?

This blog offers practical networking tips and resources from an introvert, including:

🌟 Free Sample Networking Emails
🌟 Free Calendly Account for Scheduling Networking Meetings
🌟 Key Features in Zoom to Feel Prepared + Ready

I hope you enjoy it because it sure was fun to write! Link to blog hon bio.
