The End & The Beginning …

2022 has been QUITE an interesting year. I’ve had some personal challenges (haven’t we ALL?!), but there have been some pretty awesome moments as well.

We grew from a solo practice to a small group. We added some amazing folks to our team who have been so helpful in moving the vision and mission of Awakening Change forward!

We secured a new office in Marlton and resumed in-person sessions after 2 years of being 100% online!

Aaaaaaaaand … I saw an idea that has been living in my head for AT LEAST 2 years take shape. The #WineDownWithDrJ event exceeded my expectations! The feedback that I continue to receive about the event has been overwhelming (and, yes, I will do it again next year. I just need to get through this year first).

It’s been an amazing ride, and I am so glad that I could share it with you all.

So what’s in store for 2023?

• We are expanding our program offerings and hope to be able to add therapeutic wellness groups by the Spring.
• ChangeTalk will be back. We are currently exploring transitioning the format so … keep your eyes and ears open.
• I’ll be launching a coaching program specifically for therapists and coaches looking to establish or expand their private practice. I am working to finalize the details, but the application process will be open soon.
• We’re going to do more events like the #WineDownWithDrJ that take therapy outside of traditional settings.

There’s another change as well…

2023 will be the last year that I serve in a full-time counseling capacity.

This year, I will officially begin to transition from a full-time therapist to a practice administrator. 

This was a HARD decision, but a well-thought-out one. I was actually supposed to begin this process last year, and I got scared. I realized that I can’t tell you to “do it scared” or ask you, “what would you do if you weren’t afraid?” and not do the same. So, I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.

This year, I am committed to challenging my limiting beliefs, fears, and what if’s. In 2023, I’m living FEAR-FREE and I challenge you to do the same. It’s not gonna’ be easy, but I KNOW it’s gonna’ be worth it!
