Conversation 22 - (Re)defining Wellness

September 10, 2024 • Ohio Counseling Association • Season 2 • Episode 22

In this episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Katie Gamby about how models of wellbeing are practiced, discussed, celebrated, and critiqued within the counseling world. Dr. Katie Gamby, the founder & CEO of The Wellife and LPCC-S, offers us some of her experience and insight as she has navigates her own wellbeing across both professional and personal spaces.

In conversation with our host Dr. Marisa Cargill, Dr. Gamby illustrates the need to advocate for holistic and accessible approaches to wellness as defined by our profession. She challenges the misconceptions we may hold about what wellness practices look like and who it is for. Dr. Gamby also shares about her passion for supporting new professionals in opening their own private practices.

Join us for this insightful and meaningful conversation about the wellness of our clients, ourselves as clinicians, and the opportunities that can come from starting your own private practice.
