In this episode, I speak with an associate professor from the University of the Cumberlands, Dr. Laura Schmuldt, who was my professor for the Group Counseling course, and Ph.D. student Elisa Pellegrino, who was the group facilitator for my Group Counseling course. We spoke all about Group Counseling and its benefits!

This was a very special episode. Not only because I had the privilege to speak with a professor from my university but also because it was the first time I interviewed two people simultaneously on the show. Such a great conversation. Thank you, Dr. S and Elisa, for taking the time to speak with me. I learned a lot from our conversation, and I am sure others will also!
