A Tribute to Dr. T

Throughout my career, I have met many wonderful people, but there is one particular person for whom I am especially grateful: Dr. T. From the very beginning, she believed in me, even during the challenging early days of my career in the community mental health sector. Her encouragement, motivation, and inspiring work ethic have been invaluable to me.

Dr. T’s personal values, intellectual prowess, and dedication to helping others are truly admirable. She has always approached her work selflessly and without ego, and her intelligence and expertise have made her highly sought after and in constant demand. Despite her many accomplishments, I deeply admire her humility and transparency.

Witnessing Dr. T’s balance between realism and idealism, virtue and ethic. combined with her genuine humanity, has been a blessing. I can only hope to reflect some of the greatness I have seen in her.

To my dear friend Dr. T, thank you for always being an inspiration. May those who have the privilege of crossing paths with you continue to be inspired by your exemplary work.

For those aspiring to enter this field, or those who are already on this journey, I hope you have the blessing of a mentor like Dr. T. A mentor you can look up to, learn from, and share this journey with as we are all students of life. Many blessings always.

In Logos,

John
