endstigma

Hi everyone! Thank you for accepting me.

I am a licensed #counselor in New York State.

I have been in #Therapy since I was 16. I’ll be 41 this year.

As a #mentalhealthprofessional , I have found that one way to #endstigma is to be more #authentic and #Vulnerable .

What does that mean? Well… therapists needs therapists, too! #Burnout is real. I know I especially do a horrible job with #selfcare . The last two years have been especially hard on almost everyone, and the need for more funding for MH in our country is not where we want it to be. :(

I have #generalizedanxiety and #MajorDepressiveDisorder . I had horrible #postpartum anxiety and depression for a year after my son was born.

I invite anyone in the helping professions to join our group. Let’s support one another and lift each other up. Thank you. :)

this is a picture of my friends and I. we all have mental health issues. we are all different ages of women with different backgrounds supporting each other!!! it's TRUE empowerment and acceptance. we met for one of our and my birthday we dressed up to our comfort levels. we had different friends at different points in the day plans and level of social and financial ability. let's face it having mental health issues can limit one financially. I love my tribe!! #besties #actuallyautistic #actuallyautisticadult #endstigma #beyou
