CounselingExamHow often have you found yourself caught between paraphrasing and summarizing, unsure of the fine line that differentiates them? Don't fret! Stacy Frost and Dr. Linton Hutchinson are here to sweep away confusion and shed light on these two essential counseling skills in a way you've never encountered before. As hosts of Licensure Exams, they masterfully unpack the intricacies of paraphrasing and summarizing, demonstrating how paraphrasing involves capturing the crux of a client's specific message, while summarizing is about compacting the main points, problems, or themes over a session, or multiple sessions.As Stacy and Linton weave their unique perspectives into this enlightening conversation, you'll learn how effective paraphrasing can demonstrate understanding of a client's sentiment, and summarizing can aptly encapsulate an entire session into key points. Get ready to challenge yourself in an interactive session where they play a game of identifying whether a statement is a paraphrase or a summary. Plus, there's a contest for the listeners, with the first to correctly respond to a Facebook post winning a personal Zoom call with them. By the time you're done with this episode, you'll not only understand paraphrasing and summarizing like never before, but also be fully prepped to employ these skills in your practice.

With the tidal wave of anti-transgender legislation currently sweeping the United States, there is an overabundance of misinformation and disinformation circulating about what transitioning is and what it means. To be clear, some trans people never transition in any way, and transitioning is not a requirement of being transgender. Some trans people may utilize certain aspects of transitioning and not others. Social, medical, and legal transitions are very distinct forms of transitioning, but they are often conflated and hyperbolized in conversations around transitioning. Jen sits down with trans therapist Dianne Piggot to sort through common misunderstandings surrounding transitioning, what transition actually means, and what different types of transitions might look like. Special Guest: Dianne PiggottDianne Piggott is a counselor in Boise, Idaho, who primarily works with transgender people. As a member of the transgender community herself, she has both studied and experienced the situations and has a unique perspective. She works from a strength based and deeply empathetic place to give clients a safe place to explore who they are. Links from the show: Dianne's Counseling Practice: https://www.piggottcounseling.com/Additional resources on transitioning: https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/symptoms-and-conditions/8-common-misunderstandings-about-gender-transitionhttps://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/gender-identity/transgender/what-do-i-need-know-about-transitioning https://transcare.ucsf.edu/transition-roadmap Fact checking myths around transitioning: https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/fact-checking-common-myths-transition-related-care-trans-people Join MamaDragons today at www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today at mamadragons.org. Connect with Mama Dragons:WebsiteInstagramFacebookDonate to this podcast

Emily Sterk, LCMFT and I discuss the differences of non-profit counseling practices vs for-profit private practices. Emily is the founder of Healing Towards Wellness, a non-profit counseling practice in the Greater Kansas City area. There are a lot of ways to meet the mental health needs of our communities and Emily shares her knowledge and experience in connecting the communities needs by reimagining what it means to create accessible care in our communities. After moving back to KC in 2018, Emily saw a a major crisis surrounding suicide rates and connected that to lack of available and affordable mental healths services, from there Healing Towards Wellness was created.  Since its start in 2019, HTW has supported over 50 teachers with six months of free therapy, the average cost of session is $50 and continues to stand by the belief that supporting local and being heavily involved in the community lowers mental health crisis.OFFERS & HELPFUL LINKS:Healing Toward Wellness websiteCounseling Community TikTokJennifer Agee coaching pageCounseling Community Facebook communityCounseling Community InstagramAlaskan Cruise: Experiential Therapeutic Intervention Training for Therapists June 3-10, 2023Portugal Marketing Retreat October 2-7, 2023

Struggling in private practice doesn't look the same for everyone. You have a full practice but are unable to pay off bills. You created an awesome website but it's not converting prospects into clients. You accept insurance panels and feel burnt out from the overwhelming number of clients. You pay contractors more when they work fewer hours than you. You move to a new state and have to start from scratch. In this episode of Starting a Counseling Practice, we feature various Business School for Therapists alumni who had setbacks in their journeys into private practice. Our guests share ways they weren't progressing in their businesses and where they are now. Topics vary from partnership struggles, mindset shifts, personal life, and lack of business knowledge. Our alumni reveal how Business School helped them create a foundation for their practice that improves clinical outcomes and their lives. From getting the tools they needed to succeed, improving self-esteem, and being a part of a supportive community available 24/7, each guest felt they were able to grow and develop their practice after joining. --- Join the FREE Private Practice Community: https://classroom.zynnyme.com/share/DCZS57H6dbE8S_GZ (classroom.zynnyme.com/share/DCZS57H6dbE8S_GZ) Learn more about Business School for Therapists: https://news.zynnyme.com/bootcamp/ (news.zynnyme.com/bootcamp/) Website: https://www.zynnyme.com/ (zynnyme.com) Blog: https://www.zynnyme.com/blog (zynnyme.com/blog) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kellyandmiranda (facebook.com/kellyandmiranda) Instagram: http://instagram.com/zynnyme/ (instagram.com/zynnyme/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2456942/ (linkedin.com/company/2456942/) Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/zynnyme/ (pinterest.com/zynnyme/)

You know that feeling when thinking about starting a private practice. You think that building a business from the ground up is impossible. Where do you start? Who can you look to for help?

Once you select the social media channels take time to develop a social media planner. This is your schedule.  Take time to add posts to your social media calendar that has a call to action. The call to action can include “click here to start counseling” or “learn more”. The purpose of the call to action is to give your audience a chance to move from your social media channel to your website.  The website is the place where your potential client can learn more about you and explore counseling with you.  Connect with other professionals online. Try to do market research on other professionals who have an online presence and would connect with your business. Let's say that you are a counselor that works with kids who are anxious.  Potential referral persons include school teachers, other counselors that work with kids, counselors that worked with couples that have kids, and after-school programs.  You can take time to get to know them online.  One creative strategy is to try guest blogging.  You can do this by reaching out to the other professionals online. A friendly message on Facebook or email. From that point, ask if you can write a guest post that would add value to their website or social platform. This simple action can create a domino effect aimed to start a collaborative working relationship. Thank you for listening.Please leave a wonderful review and subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode in your journey of private practice.I'm always looking for awesome counselors that are ready to share their journey.

Dr. Shemena credits Jack Nicolson for her career as a therapist. After watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, her interest in psychology sparked as she saw how one's environment can affect a person. Dr. Shemena, https://www.shemenajohnson.com (PsyD and LMFT in Los Angeles), shares her process of transitioning into her practice. She talks about the challenges of leaving a corporate position and how it felt like a traffic jam. From stability and low responsibility to freedom and uncertainty, it was a slow-paced change. She also had trouble adjusting to the free time she had as she transitioned from two jobs to focusing solely on her business. Wishing she had access to Business School programming, Shemena created workshops and a podcast based on her growth within her private practice. She advises why therapists should be in therapy, how to be present with each client, and being open about “what we don't know.” Want to share your own private practice success story?https://www.zynnyme.com/podcast-request ( Request to join Miranda and Kelly on Starting a Counseling Practice.)

How is movement scientifically proven to assist emotional processing? What can clinicians do to help their patients commit to forming healthy habits? Can you integrate the principles of movement, sleep, and nutrition into your counseling practice for treatment? MEET KATY RADERKaty works with clients to manage anxiety and trauma responses through the lens of Holistic Mental Health. She is a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Practitioner (CMHIMP). Katy utilizes physical health and lifestyle methods, like nutrition, movement, and sleep, to help clients manage their mental health symptoms. Katy works in private practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the north Indianapolis/Carmel area. Katy lives in Indianapolis and is married with three children. Visit her website, https://beaconofchangecounseling.com/ (Beacon of Change). Email her at Katy@beaconofchangecounseling.com, or contact her practice at 317-530-3050 IN THIS PODCAST:Movement for mental health Forming healthy habits Sleep for mental health Nutrition for mental health MOVEMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTHBilateral movements such as swimming, walking, cycling, and running all help clients process their emotions. This is because the constant alternating repetition of movement helps their brain to move through the issue and complete the emotional cycle. When the body is stuck, so is the mind. Move the body to help the mind find new perspectives and ways of interacting with a situation or problem to solve. FORMING HEALTHY HABITSThe trick is getting it enough in a routine that it reinforces itself … typically that's about three times a week. (Katy Rader) Once a client has practiced a new activity three times a week for three weeks, that is when the new habit starts to be formed. Getting a client to carve out that time to commit to trying something new three times a week will make it easier for them to assimilate this new habit into their lifestyle. Keep in mind that it is important to validate their emotions as committing to a new routine may be difficult for them in the beginning. SLEEP FOR MENTAL HEALTHWhen we're low on sleep we have increased stress hormones, we have more cortisol coursing through our veins and that's never good because it impairs thinking and emotional regulation. (Katy Rader) A patient must decide for themselves that their sleep, health, and movement are worth the effort to take care of. Often teaching a patient about the importance and benefits of getting good consecutive sleep is enough to motivate them to try correcting their sleep schedule, because they desire those benefits. NUTRITION FOR MENTAL HEALTHThere are benefits to keeping a food diary. This is not to have people keep count of their calories, but instead to keep track of what they eat, how often they eat it, and when they eat it. These insights can be greatly helpful to discerning how the client copes with stress or anxiety throughout the day when it comes to food. It's something that helps you take a look at what you're actually taking into your body and what the things [are] that you're low on. It's not about calories … it may [show that someone] is not getting enough magnesium, and magnesium is something that helps our bodies fully relax. (Katy Rader) It is also beneficial to see which food groups of nutrients they are missing out on because properly nourishing the body is a foundation of mental and emotional health. Be sure to have a disclaimer that states that you are not a doctor and nutritionist, and refer your patients out to them if your patients are asking about nutrition specifics.
