Come rain or snow, your social worker is out there Come rain or snow, your social worker is out there! Many social workers or helping professionals have 'mobile offices' like my rolling file box here. We work out in your community, bringing services to you no matter the weather. I've known many a counselor who could run their business pretty much from the trunk of their car based on all the extra resources, supplies and text books filling their trunks and back seats. 
This is just one look at the daily life of a therapist and all the many roles we play. 
What's your experience with working outside of a regular office? How do you manage to stay organized despite it all?

Real talk. I tried to take a nice professional loo Real talk. I tried to take a nice professional looking selfie to show my awesome 'EAT SLEEP SOCIAL WORK REPEAT' shirt, but it was like a siren call for my children to basically photo bomb for all they were worth.

You can see my absolute cringe of anticipation, preparing to get a stray toy car jammed up my nostril or an elbow to the teeth as it became open season to crawl all over me just to get in front of that camera. 30 seconds prior, they were happily playing.

It's the start of your week, so here's a quick rem It's the start of your week, so here's a quick reminder on #mindfulmonday to practice staying in the moment! Breathe in, notice the air in your lungs, and then let it all out. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Even 2 minutes of mindful breathing (That's about 12 breaths) can have a huge impact on your mental health - it reduces anxiety, improves your mood, balances your nervous system and even helps you think more clearly!

So pause - breathe - and then go kick butt this week! ๐Ÿ’ช

Did you know you can now safely attend for in-pers Did you know you can now safely attend for in-person counseling? 

You might not see it, but behind this mask is the same smiling face of your compassionate therapist! This is the view you'll have when you attend for in-person sessions. With safety precautions in place, and screening at the door, I am happy to welcome my clients back into my office space with the following precautions:

๐Ÿ˜ท Wear a mask when entering the building and wear it throughout our appointment
๐Ÿ“‹ Complete a health-screening at the door following current PHGB regulations
๐Ÿ‘ Use hand sanitizer at the front desk before entering the office
โ†”๏ธ Maintaining 6-feet of distance during entirety of our visit

The office is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned between each appointment, and appointment times are staggered to ensure no clients are meeting in the waiting area. 

Feeling so proud of our community and all that we are doing to keep each other safe! Stay positive and test negative friends!
