Seriously, what am I doing here?

It's been a hectic morning, especially for a Friday. I got called to do an emergency consult on a kid before 9am. Again, I got to flex those clinical muscles that I haven't used in a long time. It felt good. I told the kiddo that she needed counseling, which she was amenable to, but she indicated that she doesn't open up to a lot of people and asked if she could see me for counseling since she liked me (after only a 15-minute interaction with me in a "crisis" situation). THIS is what I should be doing - working directly with kids and families who need help. I also had a speaker come from an outside agency yesterday that works with kids and families affected by medical illness - it reminded me of the work that I did in the children's hospitals before. It made me sad because I realize how much I miss it and that I was good at it. I told her to let me know if her organization is ever looking to hire on a psychologist. She inquired whether I could take referrals for them - I don't have a private practice though.
