Today we’d like to introduce you to Keren Drits.
Hi Keren, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
A leap of faith, a passion for helping children and families, and the right timing is how I started my business, Bright Futures Child and Family Therapy, PC.
I had always loved working with children. It began with being a camp counselor in high school and college, and progressed to going to the University of Florida for my BA in Elementary Education. I moved to Atlanta shortly after, and had my first teaching job in East Point, and then Norcross. Throughout my 7 years of teaching, I got my Masters degree in School Counseling, as I quickly realized that I enjoyed the social/emotional side of working with kids, and not the educational aspects as much. My career as a school counselor in Gwinnett County was in several schools and had spanned 11 years when I opened my practice in 2016. I worked part time as a school counselor, and built my practice until 2018, when I retired from the school system to focus solely on building Bright Futures Therapy full time.
