How a therapist’s day looks like at Aspiration :)
"Ability to keep multiple plates spinning on fingertips at one time. Exemplary organizational skills. Not squeamish in the presence of puke, poop, pee or boogers. Comfortable telling boss to make her goals more realistic. Skilled at difficult conversations with colleagues, clients, superiors, and subordinates, and 4 year olds. Can find a needle in a haystack. Flexible and focused. Bonus if they enjoy coffee and animals and drop the occasional curse word." – by Becca Marie
