ABOUT THE HOST: I'm Carlissa, a licensed mental health therapist who is passionate about mental health. I wanted to create a platform that promotes growth and healing. This platform is based on the belief that we can all grow but sometimes it just takes a little encouragement (it's hard work).Although, 'this doesn't count as therapy', I encourage you to listen with an open mind and bring your whole self along for the journey.
Love & Light,
Carlissa
