    Episode 30: Wonka with Christina Walker

    In this episode of "What the Feels", we are talking about the movie "Wonka" with fellow therapist, Christina Walker. My desire for helping college students find their passion began when I started taking college courses.Starting in 2020, I began supervising LPC associates and find that I like to make a difference in the field and promote ethical integrity for the future.  I had a unique perspective as a Military wife and led to my desire in helping spouses, military members, first responders and veterans. I also gained experience working with clients from young children as a teacher and school counselor onward in play therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, domestic violence and group therapy. I provided counseling services in nursing homes and personal experience with care giving, grief and burnout. During my student internship I was at the Glick House at Texas Wesleyan University.
