Changes Happening in 2023

Hello, my private practice will be changing:

Once my supervision hours are complete, I will become a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, sometime in May 2023. I will be submitting my application to become a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselor, dependant on completing supervised hours and passing the exam.

I am transitioning practice management software from MyClientPlus to Therapy Notes LLC. For a time, clients will have access to both client portals. I will also be submitting applications to be paneled with the existing insurance companies I already bill through.

I will continue making improvements to my website and to my Quenza client engagement app account. More activities, more assessments, more surveys, more tools, more videos, more audio files, until I have a complete library of counseling resources.

I will be creating as much of my own content as I can, that is realistically achievable. I will be embracing and using platforms that run on advanced algorithmic artificial intelligence software, with lifelike avatars in the presentations. (OpenAI and Synthesia).
