I have over a decade of experience in the mental health field as a therapist. I have worked in an outpatient setting, in a hospital setting; I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

Early in my career, I was working at a psychiatric hospital. I found that most folks I came across had never been taught some core foundational skills for relationships, for self-esteem, or even just emtions in general.

I designed a curriculum that I put to use in the Outpatient Department and the feedback I received was both incredibly positive and indicated that people wanted their family and friends to experience the program as well.

That is where Waypoint Life Skills comes into play. Rather than find a way to apply the education I was teaching to a treatment plan and mental health diagnosis, I decided it was time to just offer the education, free from any formal treatment or adherence to a medical justification for the need for this education.
