Kristen unpacks the concept of RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and explains how therapists can recognize signs of under-fueling and disordered eating - even when it doesn't meet the criteria for a clinical eating disorder. We discuss how diet culture and body image issues can impact therapy sessions and how mindful eating can support both emotional and physical health. As a therapist myself, I know how important it is to have tools that help us navigate conversations around nutrition, especially when working with teen athletes or clients affected by social media-driven misinformation. Kristen offers valuable tips for integrating holistic health into therapy, including when and how to make appropriate referrals to specialists in sports nutrition or disordered eating. If you're looking to enhance your practice with insights on nutrition, therapy tools, and supporting client wellness from a truly integrative perspective, this episode is packed with continuing education value.

Yerachmiel shares his incredible journey from therapist to clinic leader and offers deep insights into building and expanding faith-based mental health clinics. We talk about how his organization serves a primarily Orthodox Jewish community while also supporting diverse underserved populations across New York. We dive into the nuances of recruiting clinicians who are not only clinically skilled but culturally and generationally attuned to their clients' needs. Yerachmiel also breaks down the importance of flexible work environments, understanding therapist work styles, and the unique challenges of creating serene, spa-like spaces even within nonprofit settings. In this episode, Yerachmiel covers: How to build faith-based clinics that meet both cultural expectations and clinical standards. Strategies for recruiting therapists that match client needs—mirroring, complementary, or culturally resonant opposites. The necessity of flexible work models to accommodate faith-based lifestyle norms. Addressing generational differences in therapist work styles and expectations (Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z). Why recruiting a “blank canvas” can be more effective than chasing credentials alone. How to assess interviewees beyond the interview polish to find true potential. Building long-term clinician loyalty by investing emotionally and structurally in staff. The logistics of serving in-school mental health programs and maintaining outreach across diverse NYC communities. If you're a therapist, practice owner, or curious about building faith-integrated mental health services, this episode offers real-world strategies and a refreshing perspective.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) presents in a wide range of subtypes and intensities—and effective treatment requires skill, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms. In this compelling Podcourse, I'm joined by Dr. Johann D'Souza, a clinical psychologist and OCD specialist, to explore the science and art of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy through the lens of traditional values. This episode contains hypothetical scenarios and examples that some listeners may find explicit or sensitive. These discussions are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to offend or shock. Listener discretion is advised. Purchase this Podcourse here! Check out my Coping with Political Stress Ebook Workbook Dr. D'Souza offers a comprehensive and practical breakdown of how ERP works, how to tailor it to the individual client, and how to apply it across various OCD subtypes—including contamination, harm, scrupulosity, and taboo fears. He also shares how integrating a values-based framework into ERP can build trust with clients and support long-term recovery. This episode will equip mental health professionals with an in-depth understanding of how to design ERP hierarchies, conduct imaginal exposures ethically and effectively, and overcome treatment barriers like poor insight, family accommodation, and avoidance. You'll also learn how to use storytelling, mindfulness, and exposure mapping to optimize outcomes and empower clients to become their own therapists. If you're a clinician looking to expand your OCD treatment toolkit and appreciate the importance of aligning therapy with client values, this Podcourse is for you. By listening to this episode, you'll be able to: Develop client-centered exposure and response prevention (ERP) exercises for at least four OCD subtypes, design response prevention strategies for common compulsions, and create effective ERP hierarchies to guide treatment progression. Apply principles of graduated exposure and response prevention to optimize client outcomes, while evaluating factors that contribute to less effective treatment, such as family accommodation and overvalued ideation.

Yung Sidekick, an automated note-taker for therapists, is offering a special promotion for listeners! Use the code LISA20 to get 20% off your first purchase with Yung-Sidekick.

Ryan shares ways to overcome these biases to better serve this group. Scheduling Flexibility: For clients with intense, unpredictable schedules, Ryan explains the importance of adapting therapy hours to meet their needs, even if it means unconventional session times. Premium Pricing Strategy: Ryan explains why it's essential for therapists to consider premium pricing when working with high-net-worth clients, as they often gauge value based on the level of investment.
