Hello Paulette!
	I am always eager to embrace anyone from my old Kentucky home! I was
born in Louisville and most of my people live in Henderson except for my
sister who lives in Louisville. I now live in Phoenix Arizona and am a
student at Grand Canyon University. I attended the Carver School of Social
Work at Southern Seminary for a while.
	I am looking forward to your postings and welcome you to the list.


Regards,

Michael "Big Dog" Abell

Hi all,

 

Oh my, it feels so good to actually find a list for and comprised of, blind
human service professionals! Now I can talk with colleagues without feeling
sort of left out and alone.

Here is my introduction to the list.

My name is Paulette Vickery and I live in Louisville Kentucky. I have been
married for 42 years to a sighted man. We have 6 grown children, 3 boys and
3 girls. They range in age from 39 to 27.

We have 11 grandchildren, 6 granddaughters and 5 grandsons. They range in
age from 12 years to 3 years.

We also live in a single dwelling house and have 2 cats, male and female.

I attended the Kent School of Social Work, at the University Of Louisville
and graduated in 1997. I subsequently returned in 1998 and received a
specialization in Marriage And Family Therapy, in 2000.

I worked for a public mental health agency for 2 and a half years. While I
was there I obtained my LCSW and my LMFT.

In 2003, I began a solo private practice, which I still maintain.

I used to work both from home and an office with a few other therapists. But
my practice is small and I got tired of going to the trouble and often
expense of getting transportation to the office, only to get a no show. So
now, all clients come to my home. It works much better this way.

I have recently applied to become both a Medicaid and a Medicare provider. I
have heard from both of them that I have been approved, now I am continuing
to go through the tedious process of being able to actually see Medicaid and
Medicare clients.

I am on several insurance company panels and have just added 4 more that
take Medicaid and Medicare. I hope that my clientele and my bank account,
increase quickly.

I am looking forward to talking with other private practitioners and other
psychotherapists to exchange ideas and experiences on and off the job.

 

Paulette Vickery LCSW
