In the debut episode of From the Field with Tanner, I sit down with Dr. Alex Camarano — counselor, professor, and clinic director — to discuss what shaped her path into the world of mental health. From dreams of pediatrics to crisis line calls, from the silence of policy gaps to the creation of her own reentry model, Alex shares the story behind her purpose. We explore what it means to work with people, not for them… and how healing begins when someone finally listens. This episode is about systems, identity, and the quiet moments that help you realize you're exactly where you’re meant to be.
