Hello, I am Dr. Mark Vander Ley welcome to The Connected Family Podcast. This first episode provides you with an introduction to the host and purpose of the podcast. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Quincy, Illinois. I am the owner and founder of Connections Family Counseling, LLC a group counseling practice that helps build resilient kids, strong marriages, and connected families. I am also a counselor educator and teach in a masters level counseling program helping others to become professional counselors. The Connected Family Podcast is intended to extend the work of Connections Family Counseling by sharing resources, information, stories, and insights gained through personal and professional experiences.
I started Connections Family Counseling, LLC in February 2017 after many years of dreaming, praying, and hoping that someday I would have the chance to start a private practice. The opportunity arrived when I left my full time job to finish my Ph.d. in Counselor Education and Supervision. While serving as an adjunct faculty in a Master’s level counseling program and working on my dissertation I began the process of opening a practice. I have since added three additional clinicians to my practice. I focus on serving distressed marriages and adolescent males, while the colleagues in my practice focus on adolescent females, children, and marriages.
This podcast seeks to provide engaging and practical information that will help couples, individuals, and parents build deeper connections with those they love. I have also created a facebook group to continue the conversation regarding each episode topic. Please join this community and add to the discussion. Below you will find a link to join the group as well as where you can find us on social media.
