Part of that supervisory role included training other staff around mental health basics and the treatment of brain injury. She has also participated in running a support group for survivors. She is currently partner of a private practice now in its third year of operation that has a total of four clinicians and specialize in treating addiction, brain injury, mood disorders, and family issues.
