It's time for Summer Scares, and the popular horror-reading program is in fine form again. Shelf Care host Susan Maguire spoke to librarian Becky Spratford, author Kendare Blake, and Booklist's Julia Smith about this year's selections for adult, teen, and middle-grade readers; transgressive horror; and Hellmouth Pokémon, as you do. She also spoke to Jocelyn Codner and Carina Stopenski, both of the Horror Writers Association's Library Advisory Council, about the Summer Scares program guide, why libraries should serve horror readers, and what they're reading and loving.

In 2016, Julia reached out to Jane in her search for a narrative supervisor. Both of them were drawn to narrative therapy - Jane already having many years of experience with the modality, and agreed to be Julia's supervisor.  In 2020, when Julia was building up her virtual practice, she reached out to Jane to see if she would be interested in becoming an associate, and Jane agreed again! Now, their paths have shifted again, and they are colleagues and friends.  In this podcast episode, Julia and Jane discuss the origins of their professional connection, what it is like to work together, and the advice that they have for listeners who are curious about Canadian private practice.  MEET JULIA AND JANE  Julia Smith is a Registered Counselling Therapist and the Clinical Director at Insight Mental Health Counselling in Halifax. Julia specializes in working with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, life transitions, identity challenges, and burnout. They use narrative therapy to help clients find clarity and confidence in navigating life's challenges. Jane Donovan is a Registered Counselling Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adults and couples in building healthy relationships. She works with clients experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, and feelings of disconnection. Jane utilizes evidence-based approaches, including narrative, solution-focused, and art therapy, to help individuals and couples develop stronger bonds and achieve their relationship goals.  Learn more about Julia on her LinkedIn and Psychology Today profiles, Jane on her Psychology Today profile, and both of them on the practice website. In this episode:  How Jane and Julia met  Starting to work as a therapist  Guiding values  Advice for listeners in private practice  How Jane and Julia met  Jane and Julia have known one another from a long time back. Even though they are now colleagues and Jane is working at Julia's Canadian private practice, a few years ago, Jane was Julia's supervisor!  Now, they have spent years working together as colleagues and learning from each other in new ways.  Starting to work as a therapist  Jane's desire to work as a therapist started back in high school.  She did love art as well and took up pottery classes and ceramics. However, she later decided to pursue a career in therapy.  For Julia, the process was different.  As a teenager, she struggled with mental health issues and went to see a therapist, but it did not go well. That motivated Julia to learn more about mental health.  Guiding values  Both Jane and Julia have shared and complementary values that allow them to work together well as a team and to run the practice smoothly.  Values like authenticity and respect are important to Jane, especially as guiding lights for working with clients.  For Julia, one of the guiding principles of narrative therapy is viewing the person and the issue at hand as two separate things.  Since Jane and Julia share values and get along well as people and professionals alike, there is no urgent push to grow the practice just for the sake of growth.  Advice for listeners in private practice Jane: Know what it is that you need and want, and go for it! Don't let fear get in your way.  Julia: There are a lot of benefits that come from working with like-minded people.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Ep 157: Affordable Ways to Start a Canadian Private Practice in 2025 | EP 157 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Get some help and freebies on your website with WordPress!  Learn more about Julia on their LinkedIn and Psychology Today profiles, Jane on her Psychology Today profile, and both of them on the practice website Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

We speak with author Dr Julia Smith, assistant professor in Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.

If you have been a long-time listener, you'll know that ever since I started my Canadian private practice, I have never offered direct billing to clients.  There were many reasons for this, such as when I started eight years ago, there weren't many insurance companies covering registered counselling therapists. Plus, each insurance plan seemed to have a different rule or agreement on whether a registered counselling therapist could be covered, and if so, by what percentage.  Until now! In 2024, there's been a big change where TELUS Health is now allowing registered counselling therapists and psychotherapists to be part of their platform, and the TELUS platform offers many different types of insurance companies. Listen in to find out more!  In this Episode: TELUS Health and Jane App  Discovering the offered insurance companies  How to integrate direct billing with your Jane App  TELUS Health and Jane App  ‘TELUS Health is now allowing registered counselling therapists and psychotherapists to be a part of their platform, and on their platform [are] many different types of insurance companies … Which makes it so much easier to direct bill.' - Julia Smith I really started to think about offering direct billing once I heard that TELUS Health integrates with Jane App.  I knew that if I could offer direct billing through my EMR, Jane App, and it would only take a couple of minutes that it would be worth looking into, and adding into my practice structure.  ‘The last thing I want to do is add another 15-30 minutes to each session having to deal with billing, but if it's only going to take five minutes to do direct billing, I know my clients would really appreciate that, and therapy would become more accessible for people that are looking for direct billing and therapy services!' - Julia Smith  Discovering the offered insurance companies  From talking with clients, I know that the three main insurance companies that people use are;  Sun Life  Manulife  Blue Cross  Unfortunately, TELUS Health only has Manulife, but then a tonne of other insurance companies. I started to talk with other therapists about Blue Cross to see if it's worth it to apply for direct billing with them, even though they're not part of the TELUS Health system.  Then, I started the process of adding direct billing to my private practice through TELUS Health and Blue Cross.  ‘Luckily in Canada as therapists we don't have to apply for an insurance panel, like therapists do in the states, as long as you have the degrees needed you can just apply to TELUS Health, to Blue Cross, and then any insurance program that offers therapy and accepts registered counselling therapists or psychotherapists, you'll be covered!' - Julia Smith How to integrate direct billing with your Jane App ‘Luckily, Jane App did not disappoint!' - Julia Smith  There were two videos that answered all of the pressing questions that you may have about linking insurance with your Jane App EMR - you can watch these videos here, and here, and learn how to integrate insurance with your Jane App as well! If you're ready to give Jane App a go, use my code FEARLESS to receive one month free!  ‘With your schedule, Jane App also shows a little insurance badge with the clients who are using insurance, so that can make it a lot easier to know which client's are going through insurance and which clients aren't.' - Julia Smith  With Jane App, you can reduce the amount of admin that you will have to do with each client!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  EP 140: Blackcy Placidass: Developing a Value-Based Practice | EP 140  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website   Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

As the saying goes; “the only constant thing is change”, and it's true for Canadian private practices too. Sometimes you will set up a system that works well, but after months or years the practice has changed, and so the systems need to be updated.  Or, the offering that you used to love doing with your clients is no longer something that used to light your spark - because you've most likely changed as a person and a therapist along the way - so you decide to change it up.  The point is that niching can be a great way to build your business, but it can also be necessary to change your niche over time. It's something that I have experienced as well, so listen in on this episode if you're searching for some guidance! In this Episode: Why niching is important  How to niche  My experience with niching Why niching is important  If you want a further, more in-depth episode into niching in Canadian private practice, I recommend that you listen to my previous episode on this topic! However, for a short recap, niching is important because it:  Helps you to stand out from the crowd  Helps you to focus on the issues that you are passionate about serving  How to niche  Some of the factors that you can keep in mind when you are figuring out your niche may include:  The size of the population of this niche  What you like working with clients through What you are qualified to do  My experience with niching  Private Practice With my website: I actually had a little mis-step with niching in my own private practice this past year! When I was redoing my website, I hired a website developer to give it a full make-over, as well as a copy editor. Overall, I realized that I had become way too excited about all the possibilities with the new website and adding services. I hadn't niched down enough, which  made it overwhelming for a potential client to browse through. In the end, I reduced the specialty pages on the menu so that they only relate to our main private practice focuses. Fearless Practice With my consulting: over five years ago I started my private practice consultation because I couldn't find any in Canada.  So, I started Fearless Practice to help other Canadian counsellors get the help that they needed with their private practices. Over the years, I created the workbook about how to start an online Canadian private practice, as well as scripts to send clients, private practice paperwork, an e-course, and more! ‘But as I continued to create these things, my consulting became irrelevant, because it's all in the workbook! As well as with the podcast … There have been so many episodes where I have interviewed other Canadian counsellors … There's just so much information that I have now on my website for Canadian counsellors, where you don't have to pay extra to have a one-on-one with me.' - Julia Smith  Additionally, I nowadays direct people to take courses from LinkedIn and Google since they offer insightful and helpful courses for therapists to take. So, my consulting days have changed, and I niched down - again! I now focus specifically on helping Canadian private practice owners recover from burnout by helping them to restructure their practice so that it suits their needs and desires.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  Ep 121: Mila Arsenijevic: Balancing Growth in a Canadian Private Practice | EP 121 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website   Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Listen to my previous episode on niching, why it is important, and how to do it!

In October 1944, in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary, NBC began one of the longest-running religious programs in radio history. It was called The Eternal Light. Then in its thirteenth year, The Eternal Light dramatized stories from ancient Judaea, along with contemporary works like The Diary of Anne Frank. It was produced by Milton Krents. Many top New York radio actors appeared. NBC donated the air time and the Seminary paid for the show's production. On Sunday October 13th, 1957 at 12:30PM eastern time over NBC's WRCA in New York, The Eternal Light took to the air with a story on the Glastonbury Cows. In Glastonbury, Connecticut in 1869, tax collectors asked two elderly sisters, Abby and Julia Smith, to pay their road taxes early. They did, but were surprised to find the town accidentally billed them a second time later in the year. The Smiths were wealthy. Their father left his daughters a large land holding, investments and a farm. Their mother left them a sizable inheritance, as well. When the sisters asked the town to correct the matter, the tax collector refused. When they tried to enter a Town Meeting to raise the issue, they were turned away because they were women. The frustrated sisters paid the tax a second time, but their lack of political power infuriated them. They began attending women's suffrage rallies. And as their frustration grew, so did their taxes. In 1874, they were told they could not delay their taxes in exchange for a twelve percent interest charge – a courtesy afforded other taxpayers. They became convinced that modern women needed a vote, and decided to stop paying taxes until they could. The tax collector seized seven cows to pay off back taxes. The sisters used a straw buyer to retrieve most of them, sparking much written debate. Critics who compared them to children only made their supporters more united. The cows became celebrities. Knickknacks woven out of their hair sold like hotcakes at fundraising bazaars that promoted women's suffrage. Julia published a popular book, Abby Smith and Her Cows. This seizing continued through 1878. Eventually the sisters testified before Congress. In 1878, at the age of 81, Abby died in July. The next year, Julia, age 87, decided to marry for the first time. Her husband began paying the taxes on her property, and she repaid him in a compromise of love. Although many radio programs were being canceled, The Eternal Light would air on radio and then television until 1989.

Synopsis On today's date in 1909, Richard Strauss's opera Elektra had its premiere in Dresden. The libretto, a free adaptation of the grim, ancient Greek tragedy by Sophocles, was by the Austrian poet and playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal. In ancient Greek tragedies, violence occurred off-stage, and for his libretto, Hofmannsthal honored that tradition. But the music of Strauss evoking the tragedy's violence unleashed a huge orchestra with a ferocity that stunned early listeners. After its American premiere, one New York critic wrote of “a total delineation of shrieks and groans, of tortures physical in the clear definition and audible in their gross realism . . .Snarling of stopped trumpets, barking of trombones, moaning of bassoons and squealing of violins.” Even Strauss himself later admitted Elektra (quote) “penetrated to the uttermost limits of … the receptivity of human ears,” and what he called his “green horror” opera might cause him to be type-cast as a purveyor of creepy-crawly music. And so, Strauss prudently suggested to Hofmansthal “Next time, we'll write a MOZART opera.” Almost two years later to the day, on January 26, 1911, their “Mozart” opera, Der Rosenkavalier, or the The Rose Bearer premiered. It's set in 18th century Vienna, and for this opera Strauss included anachronistic, but eminently hummable waltz tunes.

Located in ancient Egypt or modern day Sudan, the civilization of Nobatia (or Nobadia) was conceived from the Kushite Kingdom alongside its neighbors to the south, Makuria and Alodia. Established around 400 C.E. Nobatia was one of the first kingdoms to convert to Christianity during this time. Nobatia was eventually absorbed by the Makuria Kingdom in the 7th century. It is likely that early Nobatia is the same civilization as the Ballana culture, however few details are known about this kingdom today, and much of our knowledge is based on archaeological excavation of town sites and tombs in the region.

Do you worry about money in your Canadian private practice? Have you separated your personal bank account from your business account?? How do you plan for retirement?  In this podcast episode, I speak with Canadian money coach Linzy Bonham who covers the basics of how to build a strong financial foundation whereupon you can build your Canadian private practice. MEET LINZY BONHAM Linzy Bonham is a therapist turned money coach who teaches Canadian therapists and health practitioners the money skills to feel empowered and in control of their private practice finances, so they can have rich and fulfilling lives. Linzy has helped hundreds of therapists and health practitioners in her signature course, Money Skills For Therapists, and thousands more through her free resources (including her podcast by the same name). Learn more about Linzy Bonham on her website and Instagram. In this episode:  The importance of separating your bank accounts Find the balance between saving and spending your private practice income Practice the “Profit First” philosophy Is there ever a time when you can spend money from your sales tax account? How to plan and save for retirement The importance of separating your bank accounts Many therapists may find it difficult to handle the business aspect of owning a Canadian private, but remember that managing your money and running a business is a skill that can be learned. Linzy has seen that many therapists new to private practice often struggle with supervising their bank accounts and separating their cash flow. Create separate bank accounts to lessen confusion and the potentiality of losing track of where your money is going. Find the balance between saving and spending your private practice income There is a balance that you can find between spending too much and being too strict with yourself. Running a successful Canadian private practice is an important job that requires money management skills and business tools. Allow yourself to find the balance between saving money and enjoying the benefits of your hard work by using the profit first model. Practice the “Profit First” philosophy Profit First is a budgeting system developed by Mike Michalowicz, the business writer, where small business owners are encouraged to divide up their expenses and pay a different percentage of their income into the following labeled bank accounts: taxes profit or “entrepreneur reward money” salary operating expenses Is there ever a time when you can spend money from your sales tax account? Yes, but it depends on your return of investment on the decision that you make. There could be situations where you borrow money from your tax fund to purchase a course or skill that can immediately help you to boost your Canadian private practice. You need to be honest with yourself and trust yourself that whatever money you spend from your sales tax account that you are saving to pay your taxes at fiscal year-end, you will put it back in. How to plan and save for retirement Speak to a financial advisor to figure out what makes sense for your situation and goals. It does not have to be perfect, so start small for now, and develop it as you grow. Lay the foundations as soon as you can to help yourself in the future.

I decided to move across the country to start a Canadian private practice in Halifax, NS with only 1 year of professional counselling experience under my belt, but I was pretty determined and really excited!  In this episode, I am going to talk you through how I set up my private practice in that first year. IN THIS EPISODE: Having to stick to a budget and have minimal expenses How I started my private practice The top 3 things I focused on in the first year Supplementing my income Having to stick to a budget and have minimal expenses It was really important to me that I found someplace that was affordable. I wanted to put most of the money that I had saved and that I would be making from my private practice, back into my business and create the vision that I had for my Canadian private practice.  Being able to find an affordable bachelor apartment in downtown Halifax was such a huge win for me. ‘For that first week or so I was just sleeping on a yoga mat, in an empty apartment, questioning all of my life's decisions.' – Julia Smith How I started my Canadian private practice In that first month, I was finding my way and just getting settled into Halifax, but once I had everything figured out, I was ready to start building my private practice. ‘I was really fortunate to have a consultant. That really helped my anxiety level, knowing that somebody had my back and that they had been through starting a private practice and they were going to help me.' – Julia Smith I already had office space where I could see clients, but here are a few things that I did to set myself up to start my private practice: Registered my private practice Became certified with CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association) Got on an insurance (you can do this through CCPA) Found a Narrative Therapist who could supervise me so that I could be licensed in Nova Scotia Established my niche Built my website Got an HST number Purchased and EMR (Electronic Management Record System) subscription  Designed a logo Took professional photos Determined my intake and session rates Secured a business phone number Opened a business bank account Network, blogged, and created a video To get the exact steps I followed, sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice The top 3 things I focused on in the first year Blogging Networking Creating a video Blogging ‘I didn't have a lot of money to put into marketing, to pay for advertisements. And blogging is free, it just takes up your time. And in that first year, I did have more time.' – Julia Smith  I wanted to market myself as much as possible to get my name out there. So, for me, blogging was really important, I made a commitment to blog every single week. Networking After blogging for a while, my consultant really pushed me to network with other Halifax therapists in private practice, as well as other practitioners. This was nerve-wracking but it was a really good benefit to my private practice as I met other therapists in the area and built a community. We all learned about each other and I was able to build a network of people I could refer out to, or could refer to me. Creating a video ‘I think it's important to not only have a professional photo, but to also have yourself speaking on your website in a video where people can see you, hear you, and then hopefully feel connected to you. And, choose you to be their therapist because they feel a connection.' – Julia Smith This is also a great way to talk about your niche, who you are, who you help, and why you help. Creating this video was expensive, but it was so worth it because I definitely started to get more clients. Supplementing my income In that first year, I was seeing a few clients but not enough to feel secure. As I was building my private practice and doing all these things, I got a job for 2 days a week, counselling university students at Dalhousie University. I felt so lucky, I could live off of this income very frugally, I had posted my video at the end of the summer and I was starting to see a couple more clients in my Canadian private practice. I had completed all my foundational work in building the practice. But then sh*t hit the fan… Connect with me: Website and Instagram Resources Mentioned and Useful Links: Ep 01: Why I Started a Canadian Private Practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn.

Welcome to Fearless Practice Podcast! This podcast has been a year in the making and I am so excited to finally talk to you about how to start and grow a Canadian Private Practice, and sometime in the future, how to make it into a group private practice. IN THIS EPISODE: Meet your host Starting my counselling career Figuring out my next move How I started my private practice Meet your host My name's Julia Smith, I did an undergrad at McMaster University, a double honours in Health Studies and Psychology. The research tired me out and I took 3 years off to work in fashion. It was great to do something completely different, but after a while, I felt that I wanted to do something more with my career. I craved doing something interpersonal and I wanted to help and interact with other people. I got into Acadia University to do my Masters of Education in Counselling, the degree that I finally graduated with in 2015.  Starting my counselling career After spending a year living at home with my parents while I was writing my thesis, I was ready to start my counselling career. I got a job working for the BC Government as a Child and Youth Mental Health Clinician.  This job was perfect, it was a 1-year contract and it allowed me to explore and learn so much about counselling as a profession. I was also the only therapist in the community who helped anybody under the age of 19, so it was quite a bit of responsibility, and I loved it! Figuring out my next move I was trying to figure out my next move, then, a colleague of mine suggested that I start my own private practice.  ‘I had never even fathomed starting a private practice just with 1-year of professional counselling under my belt.' – Julia Smith This was an absolutely wild idea; but as I started to think about it more, it became more of a possibility that I could actually start my own private practice. I just had a couple more months left in BC and there were parts of me that knew I was not ready to commit my life to 30 years in a government job, so I knew what I had to do next. How I started my Canadian private practice I found a consultant in the States that helps counsellors start their own private practices, and watching his videos made me realize that I could actually do this if I just followed all the steps. I had money saved up and I knew that after my 1-year contract was over, I'd be able to support myself even if I didn't have any clients. ‘I decided to take a huge risk and start my own private practice. There were definitely people in my life that thought that it was wild, and there were lots of people who were very supportive.' – Julia Smith In October 2016 I moved across the country from BC to Halifax, NS. In the months leading up to this, I had to find an apartment, I registered my business, and I also had to find an affordable place to counsel people.  Luckily there was a clinic at that time that was offering office space by the hour and you only paid if you booked. ‘It was like everything aligned to move to Halifax. I could afford to live there, cheaply, I could afford to start my private practice cheaply, I didn't have to pay my monthly rent, I could just book the times when clients booked with me and then have an office space.' – Julia Smith This is why I started a Canadian private practice! I can't wait for you to join me on the next episode where I share with you how I started my private practice.  Connect with me: Website and Instagram Resources Mentioned and Useful Links: Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn.
