Welcome to the last episode of Season Two! To close out our season I’m sharing this sweet counselor journey episode. I got a chance to chat with Texas private practice owner, OCD specialist, and social media rockstar Nathan Peterson, LCSW. We talk about his experience with social anxiety growing up, the power of self-acceptance and “doing things before you’re 100% sure.” If you’re looking for inspiration on how to be patient with yourself as you explore your passion (being a therapist or something else) you don’t want to miss this episode.
