More Human Than Mysterious.

In this episode of Friends Living Well, we sit down with therapist Dani Catejon of Full Living Wellness for a conversation about the deeply human side of therapy, healing, and growth. Together, we explore what brought Dani into the field, what keeps her passionate about the work after 8 years as a therapist, and what we’ve both learned through our combined years of sitting with people in some of the most vulnerable, painful, transformative moments of their lives.

Throughout this episode, we talk about post-traumatic growth, resilience, and the incredible capacity human beings have to adapt, heal, and continue becoming. We reflect on our experiences working with survivors of domestic violence, immigrant populations navigating immense uncertainty and transition, and older adults who continuously remind us that it is truly never too late to heal, grow, reconnect with yourself, or become whatever it is you need to be.

This conversation is honest, grounding, emotional, and full of the kinds of reflections that remind us why human connection matters so much. Whether you’re someone currently in therapy, considering beginning your own healing journey, or simply interested in understanding people more deeply, we hope this episode leaves you feeling seen, hopeful, and connected to the reality that growth remains possible at every stage of life.

This week, Kelsey and Nikita sit down to talk all things clinical supervision- what it is, why it matters, and why the quality of supervision can have such a lasting impact on developing clinicians.

As conversations continue to grow around training standards, board exam pass rates, and the preparedness of upcoming professionals, we wanted to have an honest discussion about the role supervision plays in shaping confidence, competence, ethical care, and professional identity.

Kelsey shares her perspective from the ABA/BCBA world, including recent shifts within the field and changes surrounding supervision practices and skill-building expectations. We also explore different approaches to supervision, including the relational approach that both of us deeply value in our work, mentorship, and personal lives.

We talk about:
✨ What supervision actually looks like in practice✨ The supervisor-supervisee relationship✨ Growth, support, accountability, and empowerment✨ Why supervision should be more than “checking boxes”✨ Helping clinicians build confidence instead of fear✨ Kelsey’s evolving supervision model and philosophy✨ The importance of feeling safe enough to learn, ask questions, and grow

Supervision is something we are both incredibly passionate about, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons we each gravitated toward the work we do today.

Whether you’re a therapist, BCBA, student, supervisee, future clinician, or someone curious about what happens behind the scenes of helping professions- we hope this conversation offers validation, insight, and encouragement. 🤍

Disclaimer: This is a casual conversation amongst two friends who happen to be clinicians.

If you are seeking support, supervision, or mental health services, we encourage you to connect with a qualified provider that fits your needs.

In this episode, Founding Mothers, Ashleigh and Nikita take you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to be both therapists and business partners.

We share our journey from individual clinicians to co-founders of Full Living Wellness, and why we- chose partnership over building solo practices. We get honest about the challenges that come with that decision- navigating tension, making big decisions together, and learning how to show up for each other not just as professionals, but as people.

Along the way, we break down the relationship skills that have been essential to making our partnership work: staying grounded in shared values, practicing mutual respect, giving each other the benefit of the doubt, and communicating openly using “I” statements and emotionally focused (EFT-informed) approaches. We also talk about repair- what it actually looks like to move through conflict and come out stronger on the other side.

This conversation connects directly to the work we care deeply about, including the Human Connection Support Group at Full Living Wellness, where these same principles are explored in a supportive, real-world way.

We also touch on something many clients don’t fully understand: what it means to be an out-of-network practice. We break down how superbilling and reimbursement work, and how we strive to make therapy more accessible through options like sliding scale and collaborative financial planning. Our goal is always to center autonomy- supporting clients in choosing how, where, and with whom they receive care.

In this episode, Kelsey and Nikita reflect on five meaningful questions about their friendship- exploring everything from their first impressions of one another to how they intentionally built a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, and care.

Along the way, they share stories about how their bond deepened over time, the places they dream of traveling together, and the little things that make their friendship uniquely theirs (including oil paintings and a nod to Missy Elliott). Expect insight, nostalgia, and plenty of laughter.

At its core, this episode is a reminder that community doesn’t just happen- it’s built with compassion, intention, and acceptance. Our friendship exists because we chose to create something rooted in safety, growth, and mutual support as women.

We’re so grateful to have you along for this journey with us.
