Today I’m celebrating a meaningful milestone here at Pear Tree. Ten years, two offices, and many lessons later, I am now an RMFT rather than an MMFT (masters in marriage and family therapy).

Day-to-day, nothing changes in how Steve the Terrier and I care for our clients. The RMFT designation will simply open doors with a few more insurance providers, and it comes with a slightly higher yearly continuing education requirement—though I never stopped learning or refining my craft anyway. It feels good to have reached the top of this particular mountain.

What should I do next?

To my family, colleagues, and especially my clients who helped me get here: thank you. I truly couldn’t have done it alone.

Yours,

Lindsey
