Administrative Assistant Becky Mason Finds a Supportive Community and Safe Therapeutic Environment

When I'm not working at the office, I like to spend my time with my family, my kids are both school age so we've been having a lot of fun over the summer and just doing free activities that bring them joy. So going to the beach or being outside if it's not too terribly hot, swimming at the pool and just relaxing and I just love watching the way their minds work things out. Hi, my name is Becky Mason. I am the administrative assistant at Perspectives, I have been with Perspectives for about ten months. A little bit about me is that I am currently married. I've been married to my husband for 14 years and we have two kids, their ages are ten and five. We are a military family. My husband is now in the reserves but he just completed a ten month deployment. So there's still very much military struggles that we deal with as a family and that time really lined up with when I started working with Perspectives and the people here have become my family and I'm so thankful for this job it's so much more than just an administrative position, I feel like I am here to care for the clients and care for the people that I work with and again I'm just so thankful to be here. I was looking for part time jobs and I actually like saw the job posted on Facebook and I reached out and as soon as I had my interview with one of the clinicians I just felt a connection there and I was excited to be here and excited to just help this office space thrive and be a person that could take care of the clinicians and also take care of our office space and make it feel like a safe environment for the people that come here to receive therapy. I think that therapy can be beneficial because life is really hard and we shouldn't have to do it alone. I think that it is difficult for a lot of people to recognize that we need help or to ask for help but it really is important just for your overall health just to take care of yourself as a whole. Holistic therapy means to me just the relationship that our minds and our bodies and our spirit have to each other and how they directly influence each other. So I think that a lot of times it's not until we have a physical response that we recognize that we're in need of maybe some help or some therapy. So in that way our bodies are helping us take care of the other parts of ourselves, our mental being and our spirits.
