Send us Fan Mail We discussed how she has cracked the education code. I asked her questions about her journey into her LSCW and realized that she started high school at 16 and is now in her doctorate program. She never stops learning!   The conversation shifts to the details of how she counsels children and couples and the steps to finding the right counselor for you. She speaks about trying multiple counselors, making sure your counselor accepts your insurance and doing the homework given by the counselor if you want to achieve optimal results from the sessions.    One thing that Alise shared is that she is always reading at least 5 books at a time! She is so smart and her journey shows It.     Leave a comment below: What’s one thing YOU do for yourself each day? 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and share with another powerhouse woman who needs this message today.   #podcast #howto #PodcastForWomen #mentorship #RealTalk #therapy Support the show
