Why is building a supportive network of mental health therapists so crucial for your professional growth, self-care, and overall well-being? What are the key steps to establish and maintain a supportive community? MEET Lisa Savinon After completing her bachelor's in psychology, Lisa worked as an elementary teacher while completing her master's in counseling. After completing her master's, Lisa initially worked as an elementary school counselor and then transitioned to secondary school counseling. During her time as a school counselor, Lisa began working as a play therapist in an agency setting and decided to take the leap into full-time private practice. Years before the pandemic, Lisa moved her in-person practice to full telehealth and has never gone back. Through her work with children and families, she noticed the need for trauma counselors. Lisa began working with adult survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, and abandonment, and sexual trauma survivors.
