Scott Peebles ~ Biography

They all told him he looked “too young”, that they do “real therapy”, and he just wouldn’t fit in. After being rejected over a dozen times he walked into a special place that worked with children and teens …
They told him, “No one wants to do counseling with kids – we can’t get anyone to work here.”He smiled and said, “Great! No one wants to work with me either, we’ll be a perfect match!”
