Jeremy Schumacher
About this episode
Jeremy is joined this week by the authentic and genuine Becca Ferguson. Becca and Jeremy talk about growing up in conservative households that didn’t talk about mental health, Becca’s horror stories with her own therapy, and getting to a place where she now helps other therapists build the practice of their dreams. It’s a fun chat that covers a lot of difficult experiences and the personal growth that followed.

You can find out more about Becca at her website beccafergusonlpc.com and her practice at The Therapy Office, or find her on Instagram and follow The Therapy Office on Instagram or FaceBook.

Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find more media from him on YouTube or Instagram. Head over to Patreon to support the show, or you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well!
