In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maricel Franco, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student from New York. Maricel shares her practicum experiences, delving into her challenges with a fully telehealth format. She emphasizes the importance of in-person interaction for learning, particularly for hands-on visual learners like herself.

We also delve into the topic of balancing work, school, and practicum commitments and explore the various career paths available upon graduation. Tune in to this insightful conversation to gain further insights!
