Podcasts about therapists

Today's session is about shutting down your private practice, which is an inevitable step in the journey for many therapists. The two main options are to sell their private practice or shut it down, which can be the best choice for a therapist who wants to pursue other avenues and achieve more freedom in their life. Join us to learn more!Our Featured GuestDr. Jen BlanchetteDr. Jen Blanchette is a licensed psychologist, podcaster, speaker, career coach, and business consultant. Her passion is helping therapists and other caring professionals say goodbye to burnout culture and find the support they need. In the early years of the pandemic, Dr. Jen made the decision to close the private practice she had worked hard to build; a combination of burnout and the realization that she wanted to focus on other things fueled her decision. In today's conversation, we cover the real, emotional side of shutting down a private practice, which includes terminating relationships with clients and handling logistical challenges. Guilt and shame accompany this difficult decision, and Dr. Jen shares what she wishes she had known back then. She gives her insight into other details of the closing process, along with an optimal timeline for closing.

Danielle turns 27 and no longer feels much, much younger than Brooke. As fall kicks into gear, Brooke learns the art of shutting up (moving in silence, if you will). She dives into self-improvement: builds her morning routine, hits the gym, and practices acting with confidence. Meanwhile, Danielle stays confident she's getting ghosted…by her THERAPIST?! It's a classic Gals episode as Brooke takes her running era to the next level (this time it's more than a block) and hits another John Summit concert. She insists she isn't obsessed, but we let you be the judge. And of course Danielle plots a prank, and what starts as a ‘small' birthday gathering quickly becomes a full-blown party!!Please support the show by checking out our sponsors!Cowboy Colostrum: For a limited time, our listeners are getting 25% off their entire order.

In this candid, practice-focused conversation, Joe is joined by Norwegian psychologist and researcher Ivar Goksøyr to explore how therapists' own healing journeys can measurably improve client outcomes—and why MDMA-assisted experiences, used thoughtfully, may be a uniquely powerful catalyst for professional development. Ivar shares lessons from Norway's psychedelic research team (PTSD and the world's first MDMA-for-depression trial), his clinic Psykologvirke in Oslo, and his online course, “The Wounded Healer,” which uses authentic footage from his FDA-approved MAPS volunteer MDMA sessions to illuminate real clinical processes, countertransference, and the “inner healing intelligence” as a working metaphor rather than dogma. The discussion ranges from implementation realities (laws, ethics, and conservative regulatory cultures) to the pragmatic: how an MDMA experience helped Ivar resolve chronic anxiety reactions in the therapy chair, reduced burn-out, increased receptivity, and improved attunement—changes he believes many clinicians can cultivate when personal growth is prioritized alongside methods training. He outlines a developing collaboration with the University of Oslo on Empathogen-Assisted Therapies Development—not to “dose for certification,” but to support therapists' self-awareness and resilience in legally sanctioned research contexts. They also compare compounds: why MDMA may be easier to integrate into mainstream psychiatry than classic tryptamines (fewer projective processes, more biographical focus, smoother affect regulation), while acknowledging the immense promise—and higher demands—of psilocybin and other psychedelics. Throughout, they emphasize humility, guardrails, and the need to keep learning as the field scales (with frank reflections on ketamine's mixed rollout and avoiding idealization/devaluation cycles). Highlights Why therapist factors often outweigh modality—and how personal work translates into better outcomes. Using real session video (with Ivar as participant) to normalize vulnerability, illuminate process, and train pattern recognition. Regulatory and ethical nuances of self-experience in training; building consensus before policy change. Inner healing intelligence as a clinical metaphor aligned with Rogers, Rank, and psychodynamic concepts (unconscious therapeutic alliance). MDMA vs. classic psychedelics for implementation; sequencing with ketamine in public systems. Global classroom: 270+ clinicians from every continent; course structure centered on reflection, discussion, and live analysis.

Cash PT Trends 2025: What We Learned in Dallas + The New Industry Report In this episode, Doc Danny Matta and Yves Gege unpack takeaways from their Dallas live event and preview PT Biz's new Cash PT Industry Report. They cover what's working now across pure cash, hybrid, and out-of-network models; why continuity and small-group training are surging; and how the talent market is shifting as more solo owners choose to join established cash clinics. Quick Ask Help us move toward the mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to our profession: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny—he'll reshare it. Episode Summary From beginners to builders: PT Biz events now draw ~200 owners focused on scaling, not just getting started. No single “right” model: Cash-only, hybrid, out-of-network, Medicare-focused, and gym-like setups can all work—business principles drive success. Continuity is up: Many clinics now get 20–40%+ of monthly visits from recurring performance/wellness work—stabilizing revenue. Small-group training wins: Huge LTV and stick rate; still underused (only ~¼ of clinics are doing it). Talent trend: More solo owners are approaching larger cash clinics for roles with culture, mentorship, and intrapreneurship tracks. Reality check on pay: Compensation must tie to the revenue a provider can generate; entitlement ≠ value creation. Macro shift: Rising deductibles & wellness demand push all clinics to add self-pay services—cash PT is no longer fringe. Live Event Takeaways Owner mindset: Conversations have matured—hiring, leadership, profitability, systems, and scaling to $100k–$200k/month per site. Market fit varies: Geography, payer mix, and demographics dictate whether to stay pure cash, add OON, or blend Medicare. Community compounding: Member-to-member playbooks (what worked, what didn't) are often the most valuable part of events. The Industry Report: What to Watch Continuity growth: Bigger clinics show higher % of recurring visits, needing fewer new evals to fill schedules. Underutilized small groups: High demand among “post-injury but not gym-ready” clients; strong margins and retention. Diversified offers: Performance, strength, and longevity programs de-risk revenue and increase lifetime value. Small-Group Training: Why It Works Checks the boxes: Strength, mobility, accountability, and community—with clinicians nearby if issues arise. Cost-effective for clients: Often similar to PT weekly or personal training—but with better adherence and social glue. Team friendly: Therapists enjoy variety and fewer notes; can be delivered by PTs or trained coaches under clinical oversight. Career Pathways & The “Unemployable” Test Two good options: Go all-in on ownership or join a high-performing cash clinic as an intrapreneur (clinic director, partner track). Value first, then ask: Promotions/partnerships follow demonstrated impact, not tenure. Reputation compounds. Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Launch continuity now: Create 1–2 simple monthly options (e.g., strength + mobility; return-to-sport). Pilot a small group: 4–8 clients, 2x/week, 8 weeks. Price for value, track retention, collect testimonials. Map your model: List your market realities (Medicare, Tricare, local payer rates, boomer density) before choosing cash/hybrid. Hire from the doers: Prioritize applicants who've tried solo—“batteries included,” better respect for business realities. Benchmark & iterate: Compare your prices, packages, and continuity % to the industry report; fix one lever each month. Notable Quotes “There isn't one right model—principles win. Leads in, lifetime value up, recruit well, lead well.” “Continuity compacts the snowball. When 30–40% of your visits are recurring, everything gets easier.” “If you want stability without owning every problem, be an intrapreneur—create value, then opportunities chase you.” Action Items Download the Cash PT Industry Report and benchmark your prices, packages, and continuity %. Sketch a small-group pilot (who it's for, schedule, price, progression) and pre-sell 6–8 spots. Define two continuity offers with clear outcomes and a simple monthly cadence. Write a one-page model map for your area (payers, demographics, demand) and choose cash-only vs hybrid accordingly. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Systems to get you full-time in your clinic. Mastermind: Scale space, team, and operations. PT Biz Part-Time to Full-Time 5-Day Challenge (Free): Expenses, visit targets, pricing, 3 paths to go full-time, and a one-page plan.

About the Hosts: Doc Danny Matta—staff PT, active-duty military PT, cash-practice founder & exit; now helping 1,000+ clinicians start, grow, and scale with PT Biz. Yves Gege—cash-practice owner and PT Biz co-founder focused on systems, leadership, and scaling.

How much and how often should I be paying myself from my private practice? How can I effectively manage my business expenses? How much money should I spend on personal development each year? How much should I set aside for taxes? These are some of the most common questions I help therapists solve when they join my signature course, Money Skills For Therapists, and are looking to gain clarity into their business finances and create stability in their practices. In this podcast episode, I offer an in-depth overview of the various jobs your money must do, no matter how much of it you're making or the size of your practice. But before we dive into the specifics of all these different jobs, the core concept that I want to leave you with today is that your money needs to take care of you.In our professions, we give so much time and energy to our clients. We're also natural caregivers to our children or our aging parents, or we're giving to our community and our friends in all these other ways. We tend to be very giving, self-sacrificing humans.What's important to remember is that when you build a business and start generating money, part of that business' job is to take care of you so that you can keep showing up in life - both professionally and personally - and do the incredible work in the way that only you can do it.Establishing Clear Boundaries: Fixed vs. Variable Business Expenses The first step to making your money work for you is to identify business non-negotiables like taxes, rent, software, utilities, and other expenses that are required for you to conduct business. Many practice owners find it useful to use multiple bank accounts – one for each large expense group like taxes, business expenses, and payroll – to help manage and visualize how much money goes toward each category.For variable expenses, like personal development, getting clear on your budget, being strategic and making informed decisions can help prevent overspending funds you might need for license renewals or other necessary expenses.And rather than swiping cash from the business to pay your mortgage or other personal bills just before they're due, you can begin to create stability and security in your personal financial life by having a clear and consistent amount deposited into your personal checking account each month as a regular, reliable paycheck that you and your family can depend on.(00:22:52) "What you can control is what you are doing with your money. We need to focus on what is in our control." - Linzy Bonham Optimizing Business Expenses for Private Practices (00:05:25) Separating Your Revenue into Necessary Expense Categories (00:07:17) Optimizing Business Expenses for Private Therapy Practices (00:10:35) Strategic Budgeting for Personal Development & Continuous Learning (00:13:37) Profit & Paycheck Systems That Create Financial Stability at Home (00:18:06) Establishing Expense Buffers to Sustain Your Practice During Rough Patches Action Steps for Therapists Who Want to Create Financial Stability with Their Private Practice: Establish a separate, dedicated bank account for tax savings or other large expensesIdentify variable and fixed business expenses and identify the amounts for these that is sustainable for your businessSet a clear professional development budget for the year so you don't overspendEstablish a regular paycheck system that allows you to have regular, reliable paychecks coming home each month for

In this episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we dig into how power shows up in our closest relationships — sometimes loud and obvious, sometimes quiet and emotional. Using insights from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we explore how control, influence, and vulnerability all play a role in love and connection. You'll hear how formal power (like money or decision-making) and informal power (like silence, persuasion, or emotion) can create tension or trust depending on how they're used. Join us as we uncover how shifting from power moves to vulnerability can transform relationships from struggle to strength. Tune in to see Informal and Formal Power Through a Therapist's Eyes.

James shares powerful stories from his upbringing, his time in the military, and navigating his mother's early onset dementia — all while breaking down what depression and trauma responses really look like for Black men.We also talk about therapy: how to find the right therapist and why it's so important for Black men and veterans to have spaces where they can heal and be understood.This episode is especially meaningful to me because James was one of the first mental health professionals to support Express Yourself Black Man — back when we had less than 10K followers.

Beyond Coping: Radical Healing in a World Not Built for Us – An Interview with José Rosario Curt and Katie chat with José Rosario about radical healing, disability, cultural trauma, and intersectionality. José shares his story as a scholar, practitioner, and activist, and how his lived experience as a disabled person of color who is also queer informs both his clinical work and research. He discusses how healing must move beyond coping, the importance of community engagement, and how therapists can better support clients with marginalized identities. About Our Guest: José Rosario Born to young Puerto Rican parents, José Rosario developed Cerebral Palsy as a premature baby. His family's journey towards equity deeply impacted his mental health. Currently nearing his PhD in Clinical Psychology, his research focuses on cultural trauma in intersectional communities. He is an Interdisciplinary Minority Fellow for the American Psychological Association, member of the Congressional Diversity and Equality Advisory Board for Congressman James Langevin, and member of the Rhode Island Attorney General Community Advisory Board. He has been honored with the Chris Martin Humanitarian Award and the Victoria Lederberg Award for Excellence in Psychology. Key Takeaways for Therapists Radical healing means moving beyond coping to systemic change and community-based healing. Disability, race, and queerness intersect in ways that compound stigma and systemic barriers. Community is both a source of hope and a vital element of healing. Therapists must step outside the therapy room and engage genuinely with the communities they serve.

What if I told you my coaching business started completely by accident? I spent years trying to make wellness workshops and recovery coaching work - but none of it stuck. All along the way, something else was happening. My therapist colleagues started asking me for help with their practices. Before I knew it, I had three paying clients and thought, "holy crap, there's something going on here."In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I went from struggling to gaining traction with multiple business ideas to building what I have now–one-on-one coaching, international retreats, and scalable programs. I'll tell you about the moment someone handed me more money than I'd ever received at once, why the pandemic became my unexpected business accelerator, and the one non-negotiable factor that made all the difference (it's not what most business gurus tell you).If you've been toying with the idea of stepping beyond your therapy practice but feel stuck or scared, this episode will give you the clarity (and the kick) to see what's actually possible when you start a coaching business the right way.Topics covered on Starting A Coaching Business:How I tried multiple business ideas including wellness workshops at tech companies and recovery coaching before finding my nicheThe story of my first $9,000 coaching client and how that changed my perspective on what was possibleHow the pandemic created both challenges and unexpected opportunities when I decided to start my coaching businessWhat really determines success when starting a coaching businessThe difference between people who succeed quickly versus those who take years to build momentumConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyQuote:“ The fastest way to make progress is to start now and do the scary thing.” - Felicia

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I sit down with Vanessa Reiser, LCSW, a renowned psychotherapist, speaker, and advocate who has dedicated her career to helping survivors of narcissistic abuse and coercive control reclaim their lives. Vanessa is the founder of Tell a Therapist, a nationwide telehealth platform, and the author of Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide, a groundbreaking resource that not only unpacks the devastating impact of narcissistic and cult abuse but also offers clinicians the training and tools they need to support survivors in the healing process.Together, we explore what coercive control looks like in real life. We talk about why certain people are more vulnerable to narcissistic abuse, the toll it takes on mental health, and how survivors can begin to recognize the patterns and break free.We also shine a light on the unique challenges survivors face in family court when narcissistic abuse is involved, and why therapist training in this area is so urgently needed. Vanessa's book is an essential guide for professionals and survivors alike, offering not just insight but hope—that recovery is possible, and that healing from narcissistic abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your power, and your life.Connect with Vanessa:Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide: https://www.amazon.com/Narcissistic-Abuse-Therapists-Identifying-Manipulative/dp/0306833174Tell a Therapist: https://tellatherapist.net/Follow Vanessa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessareiserlcsw/Resources Mentioned in this Podcast:

When supervision goes sideways, what's a pre-licensed therapist to do? In this candid conversation, Dr. Kate Walker and Jennifer Marie Fairchild pull back the curtain on one of the most anxiety-producing challenges facing associates and interns—addressing problematic supervision.Many therapists-in-training find themselves frozen when faced with supervision red flags, trapped between speaking up and risking their relationship with someone who holds power over their career. This episode offers practical, actionable strategies for having these difficult conversations with confidence and professionalism.We tackle the supervision power dynamic head-on, reminding associates that while these strategies empower you to advocate for yourself, the ultimate responsibility for a healthy supervision relationship lies with the supervisor. Learn how to document concerns, use "I" statements effectively, leverage your knowledge of state regulations, and bring solutions rather than just problems to the table.Perhaps most importantly, we address the boundary-setting that sometimes becomes necessary in problematic supervision relationships. From networking resources to supervision directories, we outline concrete options for associates who may need to transition to new supervision. The mental health field desperately needs dedicated new professionals—you're too important to lose because of discouraging supervision experiences.Whether you're currently experiencing supervision challenges or simply preparing yourself for potential future difficulties, this episode provides the roadmap and reassurance needed to navigate these waters with professionalism and self-advocacy. Remember that pushing back and developing your professional identity is a normal part of clinical development, not insubordination—and most supervisors genuinely want to support your growth when approached thoughtfully.Ready to transform your supervision experience? Listen now to gain the confidence to address concerns, set healthy boundaries, and continue your journey toward full licensure with renewed clarity and purpose.Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

Today's session is all about designing a therapist-friendly course that actually gets finished. This is the third in our series, The Therapist's Path to a Successful Online Course.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I answer one of the most common questions parents have: What does a child-centered play therapist actually do? From the outside, it might look like kids are just playing, but in reality, everything the therapist says and does is intentional, skill-based, and grounded in the child-centered psychological theory. I explain how therapists use reflective responses, offer choices, set limits when needed, and create a safe environment of trust, respect, and unconditional acceptance. I also share the deeper ways a child experiences the therapist's presence, engagement, and care. The playroom is not about random play — it's about creating the relationship and environment where your child can become the best version of themselves.

Dogs are everywhere! Tim thinks we've gotta stop taking our dogs everywhere with us, including to restaurants and Starbucks. Not only is Tarantula Hill Brewing Co. in Thousand Oaks dog friendly, but it also has a connection to board op Sam, who is also a sex psychologist! Mark admits he outlasted two of his therapists. Tim plays the old football sketch from “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” featuring young Tim performing as the echo. At LAX on Sunday, a cargo plane crossed a runway and nearly collided with an American Airlines passenger plane headed to Boston. Reports suggest the cargo plane was not to blame. There's a new menu at Dodger Stadium, including Big Crunch Tacos and Pistachio Cream Funnel Cake!

How much should you charge for a talk? This the question Alyssa Zajdel has been trying to navigate recently as she was invited to speak at small, local organizations and a larger college group. As a graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, she's confident with her 1:1 pricing and the financial management of her solo practice. However, getting invited to speak on stage to a bigger crowd requires an entirely different math equation and goals conversation. Linzy coaches Alyssa through aligning her service offerings with her personal passions, business goals, and value delivery to arrive at some price options, based on the audience she'll be speaking to. They talk through establishing a starting point for her pricing, the topic, and what the modifiers might be. Linzy presents the concept of value-based pricing versus commodity-based pricing therapists are often used to.

(00:35:32) "Pricing is a conversation. So, it's only when we put out our pricing that we can get feedback on how close that is to what our ideal target audience is looking and able to pay." - Linzy Bonham Interested in working with Linzy?

Morgan brings in Dr. Marina Rosenthal, a couples therapist specializing in high-conflict couples. Dr. Marina Rosenthal breaks down what makes “high-conflict” couples different from other couples, why standard tips sometimes fail, and how trauma or neurodivergence can disguise itself as intentional hurt. She explains how to spot destructive communication patterns, why “zero conflict” isn’t the goal, and the radical, but doable, acts both partners can take to repair after a fight. We also cover realistic expectations (including whether major life decisions like having children are dealbreakers), sex and body-image issues in long-term relationships, and how to reframe differences as strengths instead of threats. Whether you’re dating or deep into a long partnership, you’ll get clear tactics and mindset shifts to try right away.
