I had the amazing opportunity to have Wanda as my Clinical Supervisor for licensure from 2012 to 2014. Wanda’s many years of experience, knowledge, insight and support throughout my journey made her a great mentor and supervisor. She walked me through the licensure process and provided me the necessary guidance to pass the licensure exam on my first attempt. She was always approachable, caring, ethical, reliable, and professional. Wanda has been an inspiration that allowed me to go above and beyond. I received not only her professional support, but I also had her personal support, which has helped me to achieve my goals. Becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor was an achievement that wouldn’t have been possible without the help and guidance I received from Wanda.

I worked with Wanda in 2012 for a year as my qualified Supervisor and she changed my life. I had previously failed the exam by 2 points and had lost hope and confidence in myself but Wanda helped me see that not only was there light at the end of the tunnel but a beautiful career in front of me. I passed the test with flying colors! You have enriched my life so much Wanda with your encouragement and words of wisdom. Thank you so much! 2012-2013

I met Wanda at a workshop, right after I graduated from PBA’s counseling program, in January 2014 at a workshop on the changes of the DSM 5. Mind you, I had just spent 2.5 years learning and training with the DSM -IV TR so I was very uneasy about transferring the information and passing the state exam. Wanda sat calmly and untroubled, which is her posture, at a table near me and I saw her card for tutorial help. We talked and she agreed to meet with me to discuss how she could assist on my journey toward licensure. Wanda not only tutored me with priceless test strategies, she provided supervision, networking tips and prepared me for my journey. Under her guidance I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt. I have been licensed since April 2016 as a Mental Health Counselor, working in areas with chronically ill clients, community mental health, some non-for-profit agency, and now solely working on my private practice. Wanda continues to provide professional support and is one of the most upbeat professionals I know; Oh, and she has the BEST on the job and life stories. It is my pleasure to call her my friend and colleague.
