Let me tell you, you're not alone!

Burnout among helping professions has become an EPIDEMIC!

​

Up to 67% of healthcare workers experience high levels of burnout, and guess what...

​

It's not your fault

​

Self-care is NOT going to fix the problem

​

It won't go away if you just power through it

​

So how can I help???

Why learn from me?

M Druskis Picture2_edited.png

Hi, I'm Melissa Druskis, and I have worked in pediatric therapy for over 15 years. I have always wanted to work in a helping profession, from my childhood dreams of being a vet when I grew up, to my first career choice as a speech language pathologist, and now as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. But I've realized that it is much more important to focus on what you want your life to look like, than what you want your job title to be. 

​

  • Do you want set hours with a designated work space or a flexible schedule driving from home to home?

  • Do you want to be a well-known 'expert' in your field or be able to clock out at the end of the day with no further thoughts of work?

  • Do you want the freedom, but uncertainty of self-employement, or the ability to grow within a supportive company?

​

There is no right or wrong answer, the only right choice is the one that will make you happy and fulfilled.

I have degrees in speech language pathology and audiology, cognition and neuroscience, and completed a certification course in behavior analysis allowing me to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. My career path has taken me through:

  • home-health speech therapy for children with language delays

  • research on cognition and neuralplasticity in older adults

  • supervisory positions as a behavior analyst working with children with autism

  • graduate level teaching position for behavior science, self-employement through continuing education development

  • professional training and supervision for teachers, pediatric therapists, counselors, and others

  • business consultation

  • book authorship

 

While this path may seem winding, I have spent the last 15 years of my life following my passions, creating positions within companies and on my own based on my interests and skills, and climbing to top positions in my field. Not only has this allowed me to reach my ultimate career goals, but has also given me the financial independence to set my own hours, follow any direction I choose in my daily work, and live a life that does not have me tied to work that is dragging me down mentally and physically.

​

I know the challenges that come with working in these types of positions and have steered my professional life to follow my passions and remove burnout from my life forever. Whether your professional goals are self-employement, growth within your current company, or just to rekindle the passion you once had to get up and go to work in the morning...

​

  I can help you make the same changes!
