This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, struggling to prioritize self-care, or looking for real, practical ways to build resilience and navigate life's challenges with more compassion for themselves. More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/tanya-keenan Tanya Keenan joined MommaFoxFire to talk about why self-care is critical, especially in today's post-pandemic world. Tanya, a clinician with nearly two decades of experience working with homeless and trafficked youth, shared insights into her therapeutic approach, her personal journey into mental health work, and how she helps clients navigate their struggles. Tanya's love for psychology began during her studies in sociology, which gave her a dual perspective on individuals and society. This foundation guides her work with youth who have endured complex and generational trauma. She uses narrative therapy, gaming, movies, and other cultural tools to create engagement and resilience. For Tanya, witnessing the strength and adaptability of her clients is endlessly inspiring, even as the work often comes with significant challenges, like navigating limited access to mental health resources in underserved communities. When it comes to selfcare, Tanya emphasizes the importance of personalizing it. For her, it includes playing video games with a supportive online community and making homemade yogurt. She noted the value of having hobbies that also double as selfcare—activities that provide joy, connection, and grounding. The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to mental health but also highlighted opportunities. Teletherapy, for instance, made mental health care more accessible, though it's not without its difficulties. Tanya pointed out the benefits of flexibility in therapy formats, such as video sessions or even using screen-sharing to connect with clients through their hobbies like gaming. However, she stressed that the increased willingness to seek help has placed a strain on mental health services, highlighting the need for systemic change. Tanya also discussed the unique stressors of transitioning back to in-person interactions, such as reintegration anxiety and grief over lost connections or routines. She encouraged people to honor their feelings, take things slow, and practice self-compassion. Recognizing grief, even for toxic situations or relationships left behind, is vital to healing. One powerful takeaway was Tanya's view on resilience. She explained that resilience isn't about being unshakable; it's about navigating complex emotions, building supportive relationships, and finding what keeps you emotionally alive. Whether it's through community, therapeutic practices, or creative outlets, resilience grows when we nurture our needs in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. Tanya also addressed common concerns like unhealthy coping mechanisms. She emphasized that behaviors in excess—whether it's sleeping too much, isolating, or overindulging in any activity—are often symptoms of deeper struggles. Addressing the root cause, rather than shaming the behavior, is key to moving forward. Finally, Tanya offered practical advice for those feeling overwhelmed: start small. Break tasks into manageable steps and celebrate progress, no matter how minor. Whether it's cleaning one corner of a room or making time for hobbies, small victories matter. She also highlighted tools like mood-tracking apps, online mental health communities, and therapeutic breathing techniques as accessible ways to reduce stress. This conversation underscored the importance of embracing your unique path to selfcare and growth. Tanya's work and perspective remind us all that selfcare is not one-size-fits-all—it's about finding what nourishes your body, mind, and spirit. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommafoxfire/support

Today, we're diving into empowering parents and the magic of early intervention through teletherapy with Glory Lichon, founder of Glow Bright Therapy. Glory's journey started in school-based therapy, but like many SLPs, she faced burnout. That experience led her to create a teletherapy practice focused on early intervention, where parent involvement takes center stage.Without the barrier of school-based settings, early intervention teletherapy actively involves parents, guiding them through strategies they can use in daily routines and their child's natural environment. From evaluations to progress checks, families and therapists work together on a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform, making it simple and secure. Each session kicks off by understanding the family's recent experiences and observing the child in their environment, looking for natural opportunities to support communication and learning.Glory's approach is all about letting the child lead—she believes communication isn't just about talking and prompting. She follows the “Observe, Wait, Listen” strategy, which allows kids to explore at their own pace, focusing on authentic engagement rather than prompting. She also shares practical, easy tips parents can try at home, like using bath time to practice verbal routines (“wash, wash, wash your hair...”) or learning body parts during soaping up.Check out Glow Bright Therapy on Instagram or visit their website to learn more!#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Proving teletherapy to support and empower parents.What does child-led, natural environment teletherapy look like?Habit stacking communication opportunities throughout meaningful routines.Mentioned In This Episode:Glow Bright Therapyglowbrighttherapy (@glowbright_therapy) on InstagramJoin us in the ABA SPEECH Connection MembershipRose Griffin (@abaspeechbyrose) on Instagram

Dr. Patrick McGrath, Chief Clinical Officer at NoCD, discusses the reality of OCD, its portrayal in the media, and the treatment approaches. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the true nature of OCD and the challenges faced by individuals with the condition. The conversation delves into the impact of OCD on daily life, the therapeutic process, and the distinction between OCD and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. The conversation covers a wide range of topics related to OCD treatment, including the use of teletherapy, exposure therapy, the role of clinicians, the mission of NoCD, medication, and emerging treatments. The conversation also addresses common myths and misconceptions about OCD and offers hope to those struggling with the condition. With over 20 years of expertise, Dr. McGrath is recognized as a leading authority on OCD. His media presence includes appearances on the Discovery Health Channel's “Panic,” TLC's “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” and podcasts such as Inside Mental Health and We Met At ACME. He's also authored “Don't Try Harder, Try Different” and “The OCD Answer Book.”  Takeaways OCD is not an adjective, it is a condition that involves obsessions and compulsions. The media often misrepresents OCD, leading to misconceptions about the condition. Exposure and response prevention therapy, combined with ACT principles, is an effective treatment approach for OCD. OCD and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are distinct conditions with different characteristics and treatment approaches. Teletherapy has been successful in treating OCD and offers convenience for patients and families. Exposure and response prevention therapy is a key treatment for OCD, and clinicians play a crucial role in guiding patients through the process. NoCD is a leading organization in the treatment of OCD, providing accessible therapy and support for individuals across the U.S. and internationally. Medication is often used in conjunction with exposure therapy for OCD treatment, and the importance of proper prescription and dosage is emphasized. Emerging treatments, such as deep TMS and deep brain stimulation, show promise in the treatment of OCD. Common myths and misconceptions about OCD are debunked, and the conversation offers hope and encouragement to those struggling with the condition.

For me, Lighthouse Therapy is more than a company. It's a calling. I have been a Speech Language Pathologist for 30 years and a teletherapist for 13 years. In 2018, I felt unsettled in my current role as an SLP. I asked God, "What should I do next?" and had no idea that God would lead me to start an online therapy company that would impact the lives of thousands of students every single year.

Data & Society's report, Doing the Work: Therapeutic Labor, Teletherapy, and the Platformization of Mental Health Care, written by Livia Garofalo, explores how these new arrangements of therapeutic labor are affecting how therapists provide care and make a living in the US. By focusing on the experiences of providers who practice teletherapy and work for digital platforms, our research examines the fundamental tensions that emerge when a profession rooted in clinical expertise, licensing, and training standards meets the dynamics of platformization, productivity incentives, and algorithmic management. In this conversation, we reflected on how technology is changing the conditions of how therapists do their work, on the consequences for the present and future of therapeutic labor, and on how this might be changing our understanding of therapy itself.

*Please note: Today's episode has a content warning for mental health and self-harm discussions. We hope this content will inspire you to practice self-compassion and share your story because you are not alone. For resources, please see our episode show notes.   Today's episode offers hope in the face of one of the world's most concerning crises: The troubling decline in mental and emotional health for teenagers and young adults. Our guest, Emily Pesce, is joining us on the show to offer exciting ideas, potential solutions and advice for anyone trying to solve a great big problem. When Emily Pesce came out as transgender, she was in her late thirties. While always being trans, she didn't always realize that she was–and she didn't grow up knowing anyone like her. That changed when she moved to Seattle and started noticing people who reminded her of herself–for the first time. Emily was walking her dog one day and had the sudden realization that she is a trans woman. What followed was a process of self-discovery, vulnerability and community connection.  Emily Pesce is CEO of Joon, whose mission is to make mental healthcare and well-being accessible and effective for 13-24 year olds. Emily has 20+ years of experience across healthcare, e-commerce, grocery, supply chain, technology, mobile, and cloud computing with her primary operating experience at Amazon and Nerdy. Emily is also an investor, providing early-stage capital to over thirty companies. Emily graduated from Duke University with a BA in Public Policy, a minor in Computer Science and a certificate in Genetics. She received her MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business. Joon Care was founded by Dr. Amy Mezulis and Josh Herst. Their vision is to create a new model for mental health care, designed specifically for youth and young adults, that integrates the benefits of one-on-one therapy sessions with a mobile app-based experience. Their approach is evidence-based, skills-focused and personalized for each individual client. Enjoy this important, eye-opening and deeply moving conversation with Emily Pesce, CEO of Joon.  The problem, and the solution It's hard to hear, but Emily shares some disturbing and sad statistics: One in four LGBTQ+ young adults attempts suicide. Not considers, not plans–tries to end their life. As sad and horrifying as this is, Emily heard this and turned to hope, and we should too.  Studies are consistently showing that Joon Care and other teletherapy services have a profound impact on mental and emotional health of young patients. But first–why is this epidemic so massive? If you think this was solely driven by pandemic-related concerns, you would be wrong. In fact, this decline in mental wellness began to show up starkly in studies in 2011. Emily Pesce shares information that suggests that while there are other things affecting teen and young adult depression and anxiety, the top two causes are: constant social media interaction, and exposure to gun violence.  All the while, access to mental health care in America is often confusing and frustrating. Young people living at home especially struggle to voice their concerns, ask for help and get connected to a licensed mental health professional. Now with companies like Joon, teenagers can finally get access to important resources to help them recover, sustain happy and healthy daily habits, and disconnect from devices more frequently.  Removing barriers to mental health care When Joon first began utilizing teletherapy, many were concerned that it wouldn't work. After all, they launched their company years before the pandemic. But with covid, the door to teletherapy breezed wide open, and Joon was there to welcome clients with open and experienced arms.  A shocking 81% of counties in the United States do not have a single licensed Psychiatrist. With Joon, patients can sign up with clicks of a button instead of struggling to search for local Psychologists or Psychiatrists via Google. Teletherapy works for teens for several reasons. They feel safer and more relaxed in their own bedrooms. Joon helps with wellness tracking, reminders and check-ins after and between appointments, helping forgetful teenagers stick to the daily habits they set.  Joon and other mental wellness companies are determined to solve this massive crisis. And as you'll hear in this episode, straight from Emily herself: “This crisis is not unsolvable.” Enjoy this thoughtful and inspiring episode of The Business of You. Quotes “I was in my late thirties when I had a realization. I was on a walk with my dog when a lightning bolt hit me, and I thought–oh, I'm trans! I always was, but I didn't always know.” “Seeing people like you, around you, it helps tell you about yourself.” “Joon is basically a therapy solution for 13-24 year olds. If they are dealing with anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder, and it's affecting their life at school, it's time for them to talk to someone. A big problem that has persisted is access. They don't know how to get help.” “A hundred years from now, people will want great mental health. They will still want it to be easy, affordable and accessible.” “Once therapy begins, we do check-ins. We'll get the therapist, the patient and the parent together. But in general, the therapy is between the patient and the therapist. This allows them to be comfortable and it's confidential. The ability to trust is essential for getting to recovery.” “The way I think about building a business is this: You identify a big durable need. In a hundred years, people will still have mental health needs, and will want personalized affordable mental health care.” “I want everybody in this space to be wildly successful. We need people to be successful to solve the problem. The good news is-the evidence tells us that we can help! Kids are super resilient, and this is not an unsolvable problem.” “We may feel very different from one another politically or what we do or where we live, but we are just humans. We are not great at saying that…and asking for help.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for Joon care at https://www.joon.com/  Connect with Emily Pesce on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyspesce/  If you or someone you love are considering self-harm or you find yourself struggling with your mental health, you are loved - and you are never alone.

Would you ever consider seeing a child with PFD via teletherapy? If you're most people, you'd probably prefer to see them in person. But what happens when a pandemic shuts the world down and those children still need therapy? My guest this week is sharing how she went from being skeptical and feeling like there's no way teletherapy could work for PFD clients to seeing parents become empowered, confident partners helping their children make leaps and bounds of progress through teletherapy. In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Robin Vincent, MS, CCC-SLP, about treating clients with PFD via teletherapy during and after the pandemic. While most people might prefer to treat PFD clients in person, there are some major perks to utilizing teletherapy for this population that often get overlooked! Robin shares her experiences, her tips for SLPs who want to work with the PFD population, and some inspirational reminders that we can all use! Haven't left a review yet?
