Rikki Permenter
Counselor · supervisor · educator
Rikki brings a practical, organized lens to clinical work—and a soft spot for helping counselors turn “I learned this in school” into “I know what to do next.”
The Besties Podcast
Honest, useful conversations for counselors who want to care for clients well, grow into their own clinical voice, and feel a little less alone while doing it.
Meet Rikki + Ashley
Between us, our weeks include counseling clients, supervising developing clinicians, and teaching future counselors. So the questions we bring to the microphone are rarely theoretical. They come from real sessions, real supervision conversations, and the very real work of becoming a counselor without losing yourself in the process.
