“I really enjoyed [the Saturday Burnout Reduction Group].... It helped a lot in sorting out some of the aspects of my job that are causing me to feel burned out and overwhelmed. The images we created provided a much simpler and clearer way to understand these issues. I loved the group format and thought you did a great job facilitating. I felt challenged, yet comfortable.”-Shana Dastur, LMSW
