Are there any mental health professionals out there? I'd love to connect with you for mutual support, ideas, inspiration, and humor!

Hello....I am a licensed social worker and work as a counselor at a university campus. Scheduled to be sleeved on 3/10/2014. How about you?
April

I am a psychologist, about 28 years post doc, currently work doing evaluative work in custody settings and with law enforcement officers

LISW here. So glad to connect with colleagues.

I am a psychiatric social worker and I have a Masters in Social Work. I was sleeved in TJ Mexico on Feb 10/14 and am heading home tomorrow.

Hi, I'm a clinical psychologist trained in Australia and working in the UK in the National Health Service. I was sleeved in September 2012 and have been at goal weight for a while now. Have found the psychological journey leading up to and since the sleeve fascinating - both observing my own and others here on the forum. Glad to meet you all!

Hi I am a Diversional (Recreational) therapist (Applied Science Degree & ex nurse) from Australia ... I assess people's lifestyles and help them achieve some sort of quality of life despite, physical, emotional, psychological barriers & disabilities using therapeutic recreation as a tool ... It will be interesting to see how I cope with all my challenges as I go through the process post sleeve .. I usually gave a good sense of humor so hope that this will hold me in good stead ... I have researched & gained a lot of info & am going into this with eyes wide open but know that the reality may be quite a shock for me on many levels. Would be wonderful if I could be sleeved in March as I just want the process to start but more likely to be in April. Would love to join this group.

I am a clinical psychologist and registered nurse. I live in Minnesota and work for an insurance company.

Formerly licensed mental health professional I just have to.gain licensure in Fl. I worked in this profession for 13 years Wow, I have gotten old. Lol

I am a student Intern Masters of Clinical Counseling. I am getting sleeved 2/24/14.

Hi!

I am currently working as a counselor in a methadone clinic. I've worked here for a year, and plan to stay until after my surgery in Aug/Sept to keep my FMLA. I have previously worked in outpatient MH therapy, mobile therapy/behavior specialist consultant with children, and in forensic case management. I have 1 MONTH left of my MSW program and will be taking the license test this summer.

I'm not sure what I want to do after I'm licensed. The social work field is so broad, but I am really limited by my rural area. We'll see. Right now I'm preoccupied with my upcoming surgery and I'll deal with my career later

Hi everyone! I am a psychotherapist in an inpatient acute behavioral health setting. Now I need to take care of myself which is why I am hoping to get the sleeve! (still waiting for insurance approval.......)

Hi, I am an LMHC, supervising a unit working in child protection. Stressful and rewarding. Very excited that I am taking this positive step for ME.
