00:03it's nice to officially see you because I've been following and seeing all the great things that I
00:09don't want to spoil anything that we're going to be talking about today but for those who may not
00:12know who dr. Maya is can you tell us a little bit about yourself sure so I am a licensed
00:19clinical
00:20therapist I'm registered in the state of Michigan I have my doctorate in counseling education and
00:25supervision I'm an entrepreneur I own two businesses journey to clarity and complete clarity
00:30I'm also a clinical supervisor for limited license therapists and counseling interns so what don't
00:37you do that's a good question so what inspired your journey into just the mental health arena
00:46because I feel like you have to be a certain type of human with a certain type of heart to
00:52really
00:52want to go into this field so what what was the spark for you so it's interesting I wish I
00:58had a
00:58better answer to this question but my 12th grade year at Renaissance High School I didn't know what
01:03I wanted to do I just knew that I had to go to college that's what my parents said and
01:08I took
01:09a psychology class my teacher's name was Mrs. Fikori shout out to her if she's out there somewhere
01:14she changed the whole trajectory of my life and I learned so much about myself because I was so lost
01:22at this point in time I learned so much from the psychology content and I thought like oh my gosh
01:28I want other people to have this same experience because if you can understand things about yourself
01:32you can start to make changes you can start to heal and so that's when I decided I have to
01:38go into
01:38the mental health field I want people to have the same experience I'm having
01:42anything you know I want people to have the same experience I can start to healing and I go there
01:46even
