She has her own practice in Santa Clara and now only offers Telehealth. Her passion is working with immigrants, especially Asian Americans dealing with multicultural and/or identity issues.

    Jyoti Nadhani, LMFT

    Jyoti Nadhani, AMFT (and a SCV-CAMFT board member) is scheduled to take her exam May 1. She is concerned the date may be delayed given shelter-in-place restrictions. Jyoti works in private practice. https://www.jyotinadhani.com/ 

    connie, AMFT

    Connie (not her real name), AMFT, has been working at an agency and also in private practice since she submitted her hours in June 2019. It took 5.5 months to get them approved by the BBS. She needed accommodations to take the exam given a health issue, so her approval process took longer than normal. She was finally scheduled to take the exam March 18 and then the day before the testing center closed. She is now in limbo not knowing when she can expect to take the exam.

    Sharon Greenstein, LMFT

    Sharon Greenstein, LMFT, had submitted her hours in July 2019 and was approved to take the exam in early December. She took the exam in February and was licensed in late March. She had taken time off from her last position at CHAC to study and take care of her family. She would like to open her own private practice now.

    Natalie Shahar, AMFT

    Natalie Shahar, AMFT, works for CHAC doing school-based counseling at a middle school.  She also works in private practice.  She has about 30 hours to go to have her 3000 hours.

    monica, AMFT

    Monica (not her real name), AMFT, works for an area agency in an Intensive Outpatient Program for youth.  She completed her 3000 hours in March (she is still collecting hours for her LPCC).  She has not yet submitted her MFT hours to the BBS and has found it more difficult to get final signatures and other administrative details done during this time when her supervisors are sheltering at home.

    susan, AMFT

    Susan (not her real name), AMFT, finished her hours at the end of February but found it difficult during March to get her hours signed off from her supervisors, again because the supervisors were then sheltering in place. She did submit her hours to the BBS on April 1. She most recently worked at CHAC.
