I am so happy that I found you here! I start my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling on 3/11. I appreciate all of your sharing and advice! Thank you! I am so excited for this journey. You are so inspiring!

Thank you Tessa! ☺

I've been a part of a couple different group therapy groups as a client! All virtual and through a private practice, so it is for sure doable! I have noticed times where they had to market the groups pretty hard though. Congrats on being so close to monetization! I love your videos!

Thank you Tiffany!

I have been playing with the idea of becoming a certified yoga instructor and providing trauma-informed yoga sessions for a while now. I keep wishing there were more body-focused resources out there for trauma work. I just fear that there won't be enough interest and that the upfront time and money investment in terms of certification and finding a studio would be a lot of risk. Can I ask what platforms you know of (other than etsy) for selling worksheets? I have been making my own worksheets for clients and past jobs for years now!

Are you EMDR certified? I think that could be less of an upfront commitment and also be body-focused. There is a website called Your Therapy Source where you can become a seller and make passive income, I haven't done so myself through so not sure of the process!

[@kantui525]

@@allyssapowers no, I work with developmental and complex traumas mostly which do not show a good long term improvement with EMDR. I will look into websites. There is a teachers resource that also has a school counselor audience and SEL content but I haven't seen therapy resource websites that allow users to upload. I'll have to look into it more.

Hi thanks for the info.. I have an EMDR question. Where do you take the certification and do you need to have your LPC to take the certification? And do you have any suggestions on where to take the certification. Thanks

[@allyssapowers]

Hmm these are good questions that I am not sure of. I took a CEU that was in Ohio through Amber Stiles-Bodnar Consulting, I would look on their website for more info on EMDR!
