The Power of “Yes” with Liza Piekarsky

I’m excited to welcome my friend, Liza Piekarsky, LMHC, CAP, NCC, to the show today. Liza is a licensed mental health counselor and addiction professional. She wears multiple hats, managing a private practice focused on mental health and substance abuse while also holding the role of Director of Clinical Outreach for the Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center.

You’ll learn about the path that led Liza to this career, and how she balances her day-to-day responsibilities, and the incredible impact she is making in the South Florida mental health space. She also shares valuable advice on embracing opportunities, even when they push you out of your comfort zone, and talks about the transformative impact that such leaps have made on her own personal and professional development.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• Liza’s journey to mental health counseling + pivotal experiences that shaped her professionally and personally
• Liza’s experience taking on dual roles in clinical outreach and business development
• Not saying “no” to challenges + recognizing that failure is an opportunity for growth and learning
• Liza’s day-to-day responsibilities + role in community education and police training on mental health issues 
• The importance of self-care, time management, and taking breaks when balancing a busy career
