ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to Episode 83 of the RT Dialogue. We appreciate your joining us.
On this episode we welcome Sammy Chaves, who is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Fuller Psychological and Family Services. Sammy grew up in Colombia, Uruguay, and the United States, and brings a rich diversity to his work, and into this conversation. He is bilingual both in that he speaks Spanish and English, but also in the sense of what my mentor and Fuller professor Ray Anderson used to discuss -- bilingual in one's ability to integrate theology and psychology into theory and practice -- that is, into praxis.
We enjoyed getting to talk about his experience growing up, and the journey to therapy, and into Restoration Therapy. We also had a rich discussion on vocation. Thanks for the conversation Sammy, and thanks for being a part of this amazing RT community.
