Tate-Scruse:I am a thriving mental health professional with a multitude of practical experiences within both public and private domains of behavioral health over 15 years. Before relocating to North Carolina, I had been instrumental in the delivery of therapeutic services to some of the mostclinically complicated cases in the State of Maryland. My practical experiences in working with emotionally unhealthy children, adolescents, adults and disrupted families for over 6 years allowed me to flourish as a clinician and professional counselor. I now carry that expertise into private mental health care and into the academic arena for Counselor Education at the Masters and Doctorate level. Whether your interest in my services is for personal change, professional growth, cooperative networking, or coaching/consultation, you should know that I pride myself on being able to establish a purposeful interpersonal working relationship as a platform for personal goal attainment and life/career satisfaction.
