Many clinicians leave graduate school with strong foundational skills but very little guidance on how to shape their professional path. Over time, therapists begin to notice patterns in their work—certain populations, problems, or clinical questions that keep showing up in the therapy room. The question is what to do with those patterns. In this episode, Paul Wagner and Ray Christner explore how clinicians develop areas of focus in their practice. They discuss the difference between chasing trends and building a thoughtful specialty, how real clinical needs often reveal themselves through repeated client concerns, and why personal fit matters just as much as professional opportunity. The conversation also highlights the importance of curiosity, ongoing reading, mentorship, and honest self-reflection when deciding where to grow professionally. Listeners will hear examples from leaders in the field who built unique niches by combining emerging needs with their own interests and strengths. Whether you are early in your career or rethinking the direction of your practice, this episode offers a practical framework for deciding where to invest your time, training, and energy.Upcoming Live Webinars:(1 Credit) Same Symptoms, Different Stories: Differentiating Neurodevelopmental and Emotional Disorders- 03/27/2026 08:00 AM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/same-symptoms-different-stories-differentiating-neurodevelopmental-and-emotional-disorders)(3 Credits) Using AI Tools for Research and Practice- 04/14/2026 3:00 PM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/live-using-ai-tools-for-research-and-practice)(1 Credit) Automate-Then-Audit: Building Sustainable Systems for ADHD Success- 04/17/2026 12:00 PM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/automate-then-audit-building-sustainable-systems-for-adhd-success)Brightminds AdPAR Ad This episode is brought to you by PAR.

What makes the bond between a guide dog handler and their dog so unique? In this episode, we explore the deeply layered relationship at the center of every guide dog partnership; one built not only on training and skill, but on trust, identity, and shared movement through the world. While guide dogs are often recognized for the independence they provide, the emotional connection between handler and dog is just as profound. Our guest, Beth Gustin, LPC, shares insight into how trust is formed in high-stakes environments, how a guide dog can become woven into a handler's sense of self, and how working side by side strengthens both companionship and confidence. We also talk about visibility in public spaces, what it means to be seen as a team, and how each partnership shapes a handler's capacity for resilience and love.

Have you ever lost someone who is still alive? Estrangement is one of the most painful and misunderstood experiences in family life, yet it's far more common than most people realize. In this episode of our How to Handle Life series, Lynn Roush, LPC walks through what estrangement actually is, why it happens, and how it impacts a family on multiple levels. Whether you've made the hard decision to step away from a relationship or you've been cut off by someone you love, your pain and grief are real and make sense. Lynn shares five hard but essential truths for anyone navigating estrangement, including why reconciliation isn't guaranteed, how to write a letter of amends, and insight about the ripple effects of estrangement that often reach far beyond just two people. These truths aren't comfortable, but accepting them is often the first step toward real relief, like cleaning out a wound so it can actually heal. Most importantly, this episode holds out genuine hope: healing and growth are possible for you even if the relationship is never restored. Forgiveness, self-reflection, and leaning into safe relationships can move you from haunted regret to scarred-over wisdom.  If you're carrying the weight of an estranged relationship, this episode is for you.

Send a textFeeling better shouldn't feel like a mystery. We dig into the real mechanics of antidepressants—how SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs, and atypicals shift brain chemistry over time—and why the two-to-six week window makes sense once you see how stabilization actually works. Along the way, we unpack the biggest myths: no, these meds don't rewrite your personality, and no, they don't create the craving cycle you see with opioids or benzodiazepines. What they can do is give you a steadier emotional floor so therapy and daily habits finally stick.We also talk about why pairing medication with therapy changes the game. When your baseline moves from chaos to calm, you make clearer choices and build momentum. Hypnosis shows up here as a clinical tool, not a stage trick—useful for downshifting anxiety, reframing pain, and training attention so it stops feeding the spiral. Think of it as cognitive strength training: short, focused sessions that unlock better days while medication does its quieter work in the background.If you've ever asked, “Will I still be me?” try a sharper question: “When was I my best me?” Answering that helps shape treatment choices, from activating meds for low energy to options with fewer sexual side effects, and it gives therapy a specific target to build toward. We offer practical steps for the in-between weeks—mood tracking, micro-rituals, honest check-ins—and a reminder to taper with your prescriber if you're making changes. Stability isn't perfection; it's the space where joy, focus, and connection become possible again.If this conversation helps, share it with someone who's stuck in the fog.

Is managing student behavior actually school counseling?If you're spending most of your week handling behavior referrals, putting out fires, and decoding defiance before you've even opened your calendar… this episode draws a line most schools never clearly defined.Because somewhere along the way, behavior didn't just increase.It migrated.And it landed in the school counselor's office.In this episode, we unpack how school counselors quietly became the default behavior managers in many buildings when discipline structures softened without being clearly replaced.You'll hear:How PBIS and trauma-informed shifts reshaped discipline systems- and what that meant for school counseling rolesWhy behavior intervention and school counseling are different specialtiesWhat burnout research actually says about non-counseling dutiesThe simple line that helps you sort capacity from compliance in real timeIf behavior has been swallowing your week, this conversation will help you see what belongs to you... and what doesn't.********Join our new Skool for School Counselors community ********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

This is a very special interview with therapist and author, Jasmin Lee Cori. Her book, The Emotionally Absent Mother: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effect of Childhood Emotional Neglect was pivotal for me when exploring mothering and my history as a daughter.

Her affirmations are:I am glad you are hereI see youYou are special to meI respect youYou can turn to me for helpYour needs are important to meI'm here for you; I'll make time for youI'll keep you safeYou can rest in meI delight in you Jasmin Lee Cori has lived a life of learning and healing.

On this edition of The Mark White Show, we're focusing on two major health issues affecting millions of Americans: colorectal cancer and major depressive disorder. In our first segment, Dr. James T. McCormick, DO, FACS, of the American College of Surgeons, discusses the rising rates of colorectal cancer in adults under 50. He explains which symptoms should never be ignored, why delays in diagnosis are common among younger patients, and when screening should begin. Early detection can save lives, and this conversation highlights why awareness matters at every age. In our second segment, we turn to mental health. Depression affects an estimated 21 million adults in the United States, and many individuals with Major Depressive Disorder continue to experience symptoms even while in treatment. Dr. Saundra Jain, MA, PsyD, LPC, and mental health advocate Kelly Uchima share insights into the evolving treatment landscape, the importance of integrated care, and how emerging, technology-supported tools are designed to complement traditional approaches. Listen & share. It could save someone's life.

Dr. Beth Mullen-Houser, LPC, and Hanna Soumerai Rea, LICSW, examine how therapist reactions to suicide talk influence clinical care, integrating research and Internal Family Systems informed practice to offer strategies for staying grounded and connected in high-stakes sessions.

Send a textA four-hour swim through rough seas sets the tone for resilience, and we channel that grit into a clear-eyed tour of antidepressants that actually help people get their lives back. We pick up our series on depression treatment with a practical, plain-English guide to SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs, and atypicals—how each class works on serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine, what side effects to expect, and why some meds also ease nerve pain or insomnia. If you've ever wondered why results take two to six weeks, we break down the brain science: receptors need time to recalibrate and new pathways to form, which is why steady dosing and patience pay off.We share how we approach titration, when to hold, when to adjust, and how pharmacogenomic tools like Genesight can reduce trial-and-error by flagging side-effect risks up front. You'll hear why bupropion can boost energy and focus with fewer sexual side effects, when mirtazapine's sedation and appetite increase are a feature not a bug, and why TCAs and MAOIs still matter for tough, treatment-resistant cases. Most importantly, we explain why medication is a tool, not the destination: better outcomes come when meds lower symptom intensity and therapy builds lasting skills—sleep, exercise, reframing, and relationship repair.We also get candid about the real-world mess: insurance hurdles that delay payments and care, and how clinics navigate those roadblocks to keep patients supported. It's an unfiltered, compassionate look at what works, what to watch for, and how to advocate for the help you deserve.

Psychedelics are a pattern interrupt, not a panacea. They don't offer a "free lunch," but they do provide a "free snack", a brief, radical perspective shift that disrupts long-standing mental loops so you can begin the real work of transformation. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Keith Kurlander, MA, LPC, Co-Founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, the largest professional education organization specializing in integrative mental health and psychedelic therapy. Keith also co-hosts the Higher Practice Podcast and co-founded the Integrative Psychiatry Centers, a clinic at the forefront of innovative mental healthcare. With over 20 years as a psychotherapist and coach, his path into this work didn't begin in a classroom, it began at 19, on the 19th floor of a college dormitory, in the middle of a suicidal crisis that would reshape the entire trajectory of his life. Now Keith dedicates his work to understanding what actually moves the needle in mental health, not symptom suppression, but root cause transformation. His integrative approach weaves together psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma healing, gut health, metabolic medicine, spirituality, and the science of presence into a framework that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis. In this conversation, you'll hear Keith's unfiltered take on why psychedelics aren't a cure but a pattern interrupt, a brief, radical disruption of the mental loops keeping people stuck. You'll also explore the spiritual dimension of trauma, the gut-brain connection most practitioners ignore, and why he believes healing isn't just personal anymore. It's our collective responsibility.   For more information about the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, please visit: https://psychiatryinstitute.com For more information about programs for professionals, please visit: https://psychiatryinstitute.com/overview-of-programs/ If you are looking for a therapist, consider the Integrative Psychiatry Provider Directory, please visit: https://directory.psychiatryinstitute.com For more information about the Higher Practice Podcast, please visit: https://psychiatryinstitute.com/podcast/ For more information about Integrative Psychiatry Centers, please visit: https://psychiatrycenters.com Connect with the Integrative Psychiatry Centers on social media: On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/integrativepsychiatrycenters On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IntegrativePsychiatryCenters/ On YouTube: https://twitter.com/InPsychCenters On X: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1K0NagrJRPxLxu4K8Dhew/playlists

In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connects with counselor and community activist Ariel Virk, MA, LPC, a woman who embodies a rare and beautiful balance: deep gentleness paired with fierce protection.The daughter of immigrant parents from Honduras and India, Ariel shares what it was like growing up between cultures, learning to navigate identity, belonging, and the quiet art of code-switching. She reflects on how her heritage shaped her worldview, her empathy, and ultimately her calling to become a therapist.Ariel speaks candidly about the emotional weight of counseling work and the intentional practices that help her stay grounded. But this conversation goes deeper than biography.It explores what it means to stand up to bullies, beyond the classroom, in systems, and in society. Ariel shares why community activism is not separate from her work as a therapist but deeply intertwined with it. For her, protecting others is not performative. It is personal.Together, Amanda and Ariel talk about:Navigating multicultural identity as a child of immigrantsThe quiet strength required to hold space for othersWhy joy can be an act of resistanceThe importance of community in healingSelf-care that goes beyond bubble bathsAnd the kind of courage that is both soft and unshakableAriel's name means “Lion of God,” and yet her power doesn't always show up as a roar. Sometimes it looks like steady presence. Sometimes it sounds like a calm voice saying, “That's not okay.” Sometimes it's the quiet strength of someone who stands guard over others without needing applause.If you've ever wondered how to stay tender in a world that can feel hard, this conversation is for you.

Send a textEver been told “antidepressants change your personality” or “you'll be on them forever”? We're cutting through the noise with a clear, grounded tour of how modern antidepressants work, why they were discovered by accident, and what real people should know before starting, switching, or stopping. We share the surprising roots of MAOIs and tricyclics, how SSRIs became mainstream, and where ECT fits today for treatment-resistant cases. No jargon, no scare tactics—just the essentials you can use to make smarter choices with your clinician.We break down brain basics in plain English: neurons, synapses, and the roles of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in mood and motivation. You'll hear why reuptake inhibition matters, what changes to expect first, and how to spot common side effects like sleep shifts, nausea, and sexual dysfunction. Just as important, we draw a bright line between dependence and addiction, and explain why tapering off—never quitting cold turkey—protects your body while you pivot your plan.Along the way, we talk stigma, ask the questions your provider hopes you'll bring, and explore how medication pairs with therapy, sleep, movement, and community to create lasting relief. Plus, a gripping “Winner of the Week” rescue, show updates from the Motor City Hypnotist studio, and a quick adoption spotlight for Minnie from Detroit Dog Rescue. If you've been curious, cautious, or confused about antidepressants, this conversation gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs straight answers, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I speak with Destiny Davis, LPC, CRC about chronic illness and medical trauma. Destiny shares about her journey into specializing in chronic illness as a therapist and her personal experiences with chronic illness. Throughout the discussion, Destiny defines for listeners what chronic illness is, as well as what medical trauma is. We discuss some examples of types of medical traumas, as well as common symptoms that may indicate someone has experienced medical trauma. We discuss the intersection of chronic illness and mental health and the bidirectional nature of these things. Destiny shares how both somatic experience and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be beneficial for those who have experienced medical trauma or live with a chronic illness.

Confidence is not about loving how you look. It is about resilience, safety, and agency in eating disorder recovery. In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with therapist, educator, and podcast host Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC @raquelleheinemann, to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers beneath body image distress and disordered eating. Rather than focusing only on surface-level body image strategies, this episode examines how confidence develops through resilience, meaningful connection, personal agency, and small intentional steps taken over time. Together, they discuss why traditional approaches to body image may feel incomplete, how unsafe environments can intensify negative body thoughts, and what it truly means to cultivate confidence in the context of eating disorder recovery. This conversation offers compassionate, clinically informed insight for anyone navigating body image struggles, low self-esteem, chronic disordered eating patterns, or the long path of healing. What We Explore in This Episode The relationship between body image, confidence, and disordered eating. Why confidence is better understood as resilience rather than appearance or personality. How safety, stress, and environmental context influence body image distress. The role of agency, assertiveness, and small achievable steps in recovery. Why meaningful, supportive relationships are foundational to confidence building. How deeper emotional needs often drive body image pain more than physical appearance. Practical ways to begin cultivating resilience in eating disorder recovery. A Different Way to Understand Confidence Many conversations about confidence center on visibility, charisma, or loving one's body at all times. In this episode, Raquelle offers a more compassionate and realistic framework: confidence as an internal, flexible resilience that can grow even when fear, uncertainty, or body image distress are still present. Through clinical stories and lived therapeutic insight, this discussion reframes confidence as something that develops through curiosity, connection, and repeated small acts of courage, rather than perfection or performance. About Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC Rachelle Heinemann is a licensed mental health counselor in New York and a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Most clinicians enter this field wanting to help everyone. But over time, we learn a hard truth: being willing isn't the same as being the right fit. In this episode of the Psyched to Practice Podcast, Paul Wagner and Ray Christner unpack what “fit” really means in clinical work. They explore how scope of practice, availability, client preferences, professional development, and even our own life circumstances shape whether we're truly the best provider for someone sitting across from us. They share personal stories of cases that stretched them in healthy ways—and others that should have led to earlier referrals. You'll hear practical ways to assess fit during intake, how to build a thoughtful “stretch protocol” for growth areas, and how to navigate referrals without shame or abandonment. This conversation challenges the myth that strong clinicians can treat anything. Instead, it offers a more sustainable model: intentional growth, honest boundaries, and clinical decisions grounded in competence—not ego. If you've ever wrestled with whether to take a case, keep a case, or refer a case, this episode will give you language, clarity, and a framework you can actually use.Brightminds AdPAR Ad This episode is brought to you by PAR.

In this Wellness Wednesday conversation, Beth Gustin, Robin Ennis, and Jeff Thompson slow things down to ask a deceptively simple question: what does "I'm fine" really mean? From aging and identity shifts to vision loss, assisted living, and feeling quietly pushed to the sidelines, the group digs into the unspoken grief that can come with life transitions. They talk about how losing roles, routines, and independence can chip away at a person's sense of purpose—and how often those feelings stay hidden behind polite responses. With warmth and honesty, they explore inclusion, belonging, and the deep human need to be seen, heard, and asked for our thoughts. The episode is a gentle call to listen beyond the surface, to make space for real answers, and to reach out—especially to older adults—before stories, wisdom, and connection fade into silence.   Full Transcript   Check out all the Wellness Wednesday episodes.   Show Hosts:             Robin Ennis on the web at www.robinennislcsw.com             Beth Gustin, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, CAGCS, PLGS             Www.transitioningthroughchange.com   You can message Beth and Robin by calling 612-367-6093.

Send a textWhat if one small shift could turn tense conversations into genuine understanding? We dive into emotional intelligence part two and move from the inside out—starting with self-awareness and landing on practical empathy you can use today at home, at work, and online.We break down the difference between empathy and agreement, why limitless empathy leads to burnout, and how “listening to understand” changes the tone of any room. You'll hear simple, repeatable tools: reflect what you heard, label the emotion you sense, and ask a curious follow-up that invites connection instead of defensiveness. We also get real about conflict—how to state needs clearly, repair after missteps with a sincere apology, and find common ground without caving on your values.Workplace dynamics get a spotlight with strategies for reading the room, giving precise feedback, and managing stress so it doesn't spread. Then we tackle the digital trap: doomscrolling, algorithm bait, and knowing when to disengage. If the news is vital, it will reach you—so set guardrails and protect your emotional bandwidth. To help you build durable habits, we share daily reps that compound: one emotional check-in, one mindful pause before responding, and one empathetic question in every conversation. For deeper study, we point to Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence and the GLAD practice—gratitude, learned, accomplishment, delight—to train attention toward balance.If you want fewer blowups, better mornings, and calmer meetings, this one gives you clear steps to start right away. Listen, try the daily reps, and tell us what changed first.

Send a textEver say the right thing in the worst way? We tackle emotional intelligence with practical tools you can use today to recognize what you feel, regulate your reactions, and connect without losing your cool. David R. Wright, the Motor City Hypnotist, breaks EI down to essentials—self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills—and shows how they play out at home, at work, and in your own mind.We start by making emotions visible. You'll learn how body signals often arrive before thoughts and why naming precise feelings—embarrassed, dismissed, overwhelmed—can dial down intensity fast. From there, we move into strategies that turn conflict into clarity: a 90-second rule to ride the wave, simple breathing to reset your physiology, and a crucial pause before hitting send on that rage-text. For couples and teams, we share structured conversation rules—no interruptions, clear turn-taking, and I-statements—that lower defensiveness and surface the real issue, whether it's respect, control, or fear of criticism.You'll also hear why IQ isn't enough when stakes are high and how emotionally intelligent leaders spot triggers, read body language, and respond with calm, specific language. We highlight a feel-good Winner of the Week about high school students repairing cars for single moms, and we close with a Detroit Dog Rescue spotlight for Cadju, a smirking charmer who needs a home.If you're ready to swap reactivity for presence, build a richer emotional vocabulary, and make better decisions under pressure, this one's for you.

In this episode, I'm challenging a common habit in school counseling: labeling student distress as “anxiety” before it actually meets clinical criteria.You'll hear the research behind "prevalence inflation," how DSM standards separate normal worry from clinical anxiety, and the four-question test that will change how you approach 504 plans, school refusal, and all your anxiety-related counseling referrals.Because when we mislabel discomfort, exclusion, or instability as anxiety, we don't just miss the root issue. We build an entire intervention around the wrong problem.Run the four-question test before you write the accommodation.********Join our new Skool for School Counselors community ********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

Send a textThe devotion for today, Friday, February 13, 2026 was written by Rev. Dr. Gary Kindley, LPC and is narrated by Gordon Markley.Today's Words of Inspiration come from Mark 12:28-31One of the scribes came near…and asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.”   Support the show

There are conversations that stretch you a little. And then there are conversations that gently but firmly rearrange the furniture in your mind. This week, I sat down with Keith Kurlander and Will Van Derveer—co-founders of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute—to talk about something that's generating a lot of curiosity and, let's be honest, some anxiety: psychedelic-assisted therapy. Before you brace yourself, this isn't a hype session. It's a thoughtful, grounded conversation about trauma, the nervous system, and what happens when traditional therapy isn't enough to reach the deepest layers of pain we carry. We explored how trauma shapes our personalities, how it imprints on the body, and why insight alone often doesn't create lasting change. As someone who cares deeply about the Enneagram and recovery, I found this especially compelling. So much of our personality structure is built around adaptation—strategies that once kept us safe but now quietly run the show. Keith and Will explain how psychedelic-assisted therapy, when done legally and in carefully structured clinical settings, may help people access and heal places that feel otherwise unreachable. We also talk about the risks, the ethics, and the importance of discernment. This isn't about chasing peak experiences. It's about healing what's unfinished. If you've ever felt stuck in patterns that insight alone couldn't untangle… if you've wondered whether deeper healing is possible… this conversation might open a door.           LEARN MORE ABOUT WILL AND KEITH WILL VAN DERVEER, MD, is a leader in the adoption of integrative psychiatry practices to treat mental health issues. He is cofounder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and Integrative Psychiatry Centers and cohost of The Higher Practice Podcast for Optimal Mental Health. He has published research on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Van Derveer has published research on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD [1] and written book chapters in the fields of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and other clinical applications of psychedelic compounds. His passion is finding effective relief from psychological suffering using a vast array of the most natural approaches possible. In addition to traditional medical training, He is a meditation instructor and has trained in shamanism, EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and hypnosis. KEITH KURLANDER, MA, LPC, is cofounder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and Integrative Psychiatry Centers and cohost of The Higher Practice Podcast for Optimal Mental Health. He graduated Naropa University in 2005 with a master's degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology, and he has practiced integrative psychotherapy and coaching with individuals, couples and groups for over 15 years.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Katie May, LPC, DBT-LBC about high risk teenagers. Katie discussed her journey in to specializing in working with high risk teens and families and why she is so passionate about this population. Katie defines what a "high risk teen" is and why traditional therapy approaches often do not work with this population. We discussed the most common traps therapists fall in with high risk teens and how therapists can avoid them. We also discuss how therapists can collaborate with parents to help their high risk teens while also maintaining the teen's trust and confidentiality in therapy. Katie shares some practical frameworks and models that are effective in helping high risk teen, as well as effective ways to safety plan with a high risk teen.

You're not alone — and the first step toward lasting change often begins with understanding, connection, and support.Tatiana Grant, LPC, NCC & Professional therapy can help you:Navigate anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions with clarity and confidence.Develop practical tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and relationships.Break unhelpful patterns and build habits that support long-term mental health.Feel truly heard and understood in a safe, confidential space.Whether you're just beginning to explore therapy or are seeking deeper insight and growth, finding a qualified clinician who understands your struggle is essential. Writing a strong therapist profile — like those you'll find on Psychology Today — shows how clinicians connect with ideal clients and invite people to take that brave first step toward healing.

Most mental health professionals have felt it at some point but rarely say it out loud: the fear that they don't really belong, that they're one mistake away from being exposed as a fraud. In this episode of the Psyched to Practice Podcast, Paul Wagner and Ray Christner unpack imposter syndrome as it shows up in clinicians across all stages of their careers. They explore why imposter syndrome is more common in thoughtful, conscientious professionals, how it often shows up during transitions and high-stakes moments, and why it's not a diagnosis or a sign of incompetence. The conversation focuses on reframing imposter syndrome as a signal of growth rather than a flaw, the role of shame and silence in making it worse, and practical ways clinicians can respond when self-doubt creeps in. This episode offers normalization, perspective, and grounded strategies for clinicians who care deeply about their work and sometimes wonder if they're doing it right.Brightminds AdPAR Ad To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched" #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast

Most school counselors aren't ineffective.They're mis-measured.In this episode, Steph challenges one of the profession's most sacred assumptions and names something about her own work that most counselors wouldn't dare say out loud.This conversation explores what it means to do catalytic work in a system obsessed with finished products, and why that mismatch is costing counselors their confidence.*********************************Join the next-level conversation in my Substack.*********************************Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?
