LEADERSHIP

Dear Tennessee Counseling Association Members,

I am delighted to serve as your president during this next year. 2020 has been a challenging year that continues to highlight the importance of our work and the need for professional collaboration. TCA is here to serve you, our members, so you have skills, training, and support to help clients in face-to-face or telehealth settings. Our professional unity gives us strength during trying times and helps us maintain optimal services and advocacy for clients of all ages and cultural backgrounds. In this light, we hope to see you at some training events this year offered specifically to help us move through this Pandemic and to assist those in society who face systemic prejudice and discrimination. Collectively, through TCA, we have power to create change and offer hope to so many suffering right now. Let's make 2020-21 the year we became closer, offered more advocacy, and learned more than we ever imagined. I look forward to working with you this year!
