Many therapists in this town are in the habit of doing a lot of networking with other therapists. While this word - networking - can carry a negative feeling for a lot of people, what it tends to look like for us is a lot more casual and often one-on-one.
I met Chelsea (she/they) for what was supposed to be a “networking” meeting after we were introduced by another clinician whom I deeply admire and respect. I had no idea that our meeting would turn into a job interview.
As I have mentioned before in prior blog posts, one thing I look for when hiring a new therapist to this practice is someone I would want to see myself for therapy. Chelsea is most definitely an obvious fit for our team.
Chelsea is absolutely brilliant, relatable, extremely easy to talk with, diligent about communication, and such a deeply kind, open-hearted human. Chelsea fits in with the values of our practice so well that I am confident that it will take no time at all to feel like this delightful therapist has been with us from the start.
Our community need for sex-positive, queer-friendly, intersectional-feminist informed therapy feels ever-growing as we navigate what feels like continuous trauma in the collective culture. It deeply saddens me that there is only so much that we can do with the many broken systems that we face in our world. It also fills me with pride and gratitude when I know I have added someone to our team who so strongly exemplifies the mission and values of this practice.
