Write a post in which you:
- Explain your ideal client (age range, gender, individual or family, setting, etc.) and areas (trauma, anxiety, art, sandtray, drama, music, play therapy, etc.) you want to specialize in, and explain why.
- Describe the necessary training for working with your ideal client. Include organizations that provide professional development or support for your area of specialization.
