About this site

Welcome to my blog! My name is Emily and I am a therapist in Washington State. As a graduate student of social work I had a lot of unanswered questions. I started this blog as a way to help my fellow colleagues who are struggling to navigate as a student and first year clinician.

It has been my pleasure to learn about the different ways we as social workers can work together to create the ultimate experience for our clients. This blog serves as a resource for other students in social work both at the bachelors and masters level, as well as new social workers entering the field.
