Mental Health Specialist @ Friends of Youth in Kirkland, WA
"A mental health SPECIALIST and THERAPIST are two different positions. The specialist meets with clients rarely and instead focuses the efforts on training staff and attending meetings to widen mental health knowledge. I prefer to be a therapist, with hands-on client work."
