I love working with children and adolescents because I enjoy encouraging, motivating, and empowering their young minds for the transitions in their lives.</p><h3>What do you like about Cross Country Education (CCE)?</h3><p>Cross Country Education has been an amazing company to work with in all aspects. They facilitate all processes for their employees with their open communication and continuous support throughout their employment. If I have any questions or need any assistance, there is always someone who is available to help and are always willing to assist.</p><h3>What have you liked about working at the schools with CCE?</h3><p>What I have liked about working at my school with Cross Country Education is that it has allowed me to be placed at a site where I was welcomed almost immediately by both the staff and the students. Being at this site has allowed me to really focus on the students’ social and emotional needs to the best of my ability to help build their resilience and create a safe space while in school.</p><h3>What advice would you give someone starting as a LMFT?</h3><p>Advice for someone who is starting their career as a Marriage and Family Therapist - try different populations before you decide that you want to work solely with a certain age group, because you might end up finding your niche, and you would have completely dismissed where you would create the most change. Other than that, the most important advice that I can provide is to stay on top of all your documentation, if you have any ideas for groups, share them and create them, but also grow your professional relationship with your students and your colleagues.</p><h3>LMFT Positions</h3><p>If, like Julie, you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of students, and you're ready to embark on a meaningful and rewarding adventure, explore our <a href="https://www.crosscountryeducation.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">positions</a> today!</p>
