The party can start: I have arrived

in #counseling7 years ago (edited)

Hello! I have recently joined Steemit to further my learning and networking. I am currently a graduate student at Asbury Theological Seminary pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have a Bachelor of Science in Children's Ministry from Indiana Wesleyan University, where I graduated from in 2016. My emphasis in the counseling field is working with children. I intend to become a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) in addition to a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPT).

I currently work on campus at ATS and am a freelance writer for Annesley Writers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading everything I can about counseling psychology and child development. I also enjoy reading classic literature.

I am a strong believer in holistic health and try to be as healthy as I can. I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 3 years old, and I have spent a big part of my life trying to figure out to be healthy. I enjoy finding ways to eat well, exercise, and keep my brain active and engaged.

I am also a Christian. I believe that the love of Christ is modeled in his disciples, so I strive to set an example of what love and generosity look like. I am dedicating my life to helping others and learning how to love them well.

Big dreams; happy to be here.

Great to have you here Mallory! Abi mentioned that you wrote your introductory post already.

Your background in psychology and holistic health is perfect for this community. I see you already found @krnel and his quality psychology articles. You may enjoy @road2wisdom and her health articles as well.

Also, if we change one of your tags to introduceyourself, it will garner you some more attention. There are folks devoted to welcoming new people to the platform and connecting with them. Enjoy! :)

Thanks Lydon! I changed one of my tags, per your suggestion. :)

Perfect! Do you need help with a picture for your post?

Yes! How on earth do I do this?! haha

Haha, we'll need to save the pictures to your computer if you haven't already.

Postimages.org will be the hosting site we use. Go there and create a link to post in your story.

Use the second one down called the direct link.

Thanks so much, Lydon! I'll do that this evening :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad to be here. :)
