I began my journey at Counseling of Alexandria as an intern two years ago, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this was where I wanted to build my career. The decision to stay on as a therapist after graduation was heavily influenced by the incredible support I received from our Clinical Director, Cathy, as well as my dedicated peers. Their encouragement and guidance created a nurturing environment that allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. Working with children has proven to be incredibly fulfilling, as it aligns perfectly with my passion for making a positive impact in their lives. The collaborative spirit and commitment to helping others at Counseling of Alexandria have reinforced my decision to remain here and continue contributing to our mission. Working at Counseling of Alexandria has been instrumental in helping me achieve a healthy work-life balance, which is essential for my overall well-being. The supportive work environment and flexible scheduling have enabled me to manage my professional responsibilities effectively while still dedicating quality time to the things that matter most to me. This balance has not only enhanced my personal life but also improved my effectiveness as a therapist, allowing me to bring a renewed energy and perspective to my work.
At Counseling of Alexandria, we’re more than just colleagues; we’re a family dedicated to providing compassionate care to our community. We believe that a supportive and collaborative environment leads to better outcomes for both our clients and our team.
