A message from Jackie -

"I am so honored and privileged to be able to work with such an incredible team of clinicians.  We are a goofy, fun-loving bunch who love to banter while learning from each other.   Each and every clinician has been chosen for this team based on their hearts of compassion, yearning for knowledge, passion for this field, value of personal growth, and love for the people we have the blessing of serving.  Even as a clinical supervisor, I learn from this bunch every day as we work together to provide the best care for our clients.  Each one of them has unique and admirable qualities that I believe are such an asset to the people they reach.  I only hope that you will gain as much from working with them as I have."
