I recently had a conversation with a colleague who said she just couldn’t find her “calling.” She is a counselor and she knows she was led to help people but she feels she is called to deeply fulfill her vocation- she just doesn’t know what or how. She told me about her jobs [...]
I have relocated my counseling and psychotherapy practice to 25 Memorial Parkway (Hwy 36) in Atlantic Highlands. My new location is just a few miles from my previous location in Rumson and all other contact information remains the same.
Enjoy your summer!
