Therapy Tea Podcast is still taking a BREAK! That’s right y’all, we’re practicing what we preach and taking a much needed self-care break. Don’t worry though, we’ve got some great oldie but goodies to re-release for y’all in the meantime.

This week we are sharing the rest of our conversation with the lovely Summer Sahd! She’s a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas State University - San Marcos. At the time of this recording, Summer worked as a grief counselor and the Children’s Grief Program Coordinator at a non-profit grief center in New Braunfels.
