Uriah, MFT found counseling by accident, but it was no accident when he developed his niche and marketing. So even though it took him 14 years to get his schooling and license complete, it was only a short 2 years until he was in private practice and on his way to success.
Much of what propelled Uriah was his determination, selling his beloved laptop to start his business on a shoestring, and his ability to take a good idea and run with it. Even the move to group practice was not intentional, but instead taking a chance and noticing what was needed.
