Welcome to Adventures of Carpe Diem Therapy & Wellness!
Greetings, I am Jen. I have created this platform is dedicated to therapists, program evaluation enthusiasts, and curious minds. Dive into insights, experiences, and the challenges of therapy practice. Born from my passion for mental health and a desire to foster community, this space emerged from the struggles I experienced in clinics and hospitals. Limited by the constraints of those settings, I couldn't provide the personalized therapy services that clients needed. At the end of December, unsure of the next step, I decided to leave my hospital job and fully embrace private practice. I'd like to share my journey as we embark on this adventure together!
Navigating My Professional Journey
As I transitioned back to the States after 20 years in Italy, I found myself navigating the complexities of health insurance for my family in Wisconsin. This journey pushed me to explore ways to continue supporting my clients. I started some research, brushing off cobwebs from my past profession. Determined to find solutions, I reached out to trusted colleagues for guidance, which fueled my passion to support others facing similar hurdles. Now, as a PhD candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision, my goal is to offer supervision, program development, and mentorship, contributing to the growth of future professionals in the field and reducing the addiction stigma.
