All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 2: Light At The End Of The Tunnel — Addiction and Success
play

11/22/21 • 20 min

I struggled with a gambling addiction for 15 years. Nothing was POSSIBLE. Everything felt IMPOSSIBLE.

During this episode I talk about how to move from impossible to possible through imperfect action, doing your own work, and embracing fear and vulnerability.

Sometimes we can't see the next step. We can't see the forest for the trees. When we're struggling it's really hard to imagine that things can be different.

From a gambling addict to a successful entrepreneur who owns multiple businesses, the story hasn't been easy, but I hope that it serves as inspiration.

When things feel impossible, when we can't see the next steps, it usually means we're on the right track.

play

06/19/22 • 34 min

Healing intergenerational trauma is painful but necessary work, one which requires pain, grief, and self-compassion.

In this episode, I talk with my colleague and good friend, Yunetta Spring, about her healing journey and why she started Ground Breakers.

Yunetta talks about racial and intergenerational trauma, microaggressions, and her PASSION for helping black and brown people work through their trauma narratives.

"How do I help Black and Brown clinicians promote EMDR? Promote its ability to LITERALLY heal trauma." - Yunetta Smith

Ground Breakers is a coaching and consulting business whose mission is to support the BIPOC therapist community in healing their trauma histories, as well as helping them get trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing).

More about Yunetta:

Yunetta Smith is a Thriving Therapreneur (Therapist + Entrepreneur) CEO and founder of Spring Forth Counseling and Ground Breakers Coaching and Consulting. Yunetta is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the States of TN, KY, and ID, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor, Clinical Trauma Professional, and EMDR Therapist/Approved Consultant. Yunetta specializes in helping black and brown folks navigate childhood trauma that manifests in adulthood, working exclusively with public figures, professionals, pastors, and practitioners.

She works diligently to spread awareness through various media platforms including the weekly “Talk it out Tuesday” segment on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, co-hosting the Deeper than the Diet Podcast, and most recently, self-publishing her self-care workbook, "Take the Struggle out of Self-Care: 6 weeks to create your self-care strategy." Yunetta is a ground breaker, a stigma breaker, and a cycle breaker who cultivates spaces for healing, wholeness, compassion, and change. It is her hope that you will EMBRACE taking off your mask, EMBODY standing in your truth, and EXPERIENCE loving what you see.

All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 52: S*x, TikTok, Travel, & All Things [featuring Jessica Cline]
play

09/25/22 • 46 min

Sex is one of those subjects that many people are afraid to openly discuss in public, let alone on TikTok for anyone to see, but some sexologists are stepping into this territory, making history, and going viral.

In this episode, I talk with Jessica Cline, a board-certified sexologist, travel therapist, and "sexpert" influencer on TikTok, about embodying openness on the level of "the things I talk about with my friends, I put out there." She shares her story and philosophy on social media and talking about sex, and how that has allowed others to open up conversations and get support on topics that many people are afraid to bring up. She also shares how this openness has led to a booming career with many opportunities to work with major brands, projects, and celebrities.

More about Jessica (phased by her in the most perfect way):

I'm a double board-certified sexologist—yes, that's a real job and a degree. 😛

I'm certain I am on a watch list due to my google searches. 😳

I'm known as the sexpert to the stars- A) because I'm a celebrity sex therapist, and B) I'm a Jungian depth psychoanalyst and I integrate astrology into my sessions. ✨

Last year, I was approached by a producer for Bravo, and we recorded an intro for a celebrity sex therapy show~ it has not been picked up. 😒

I'm the resident sexologist for a male health app.

I've been featured in Bravo, Insider, Bustle, Cosmo, MindBodyGreen, Romper.......and more.

I live in Wisconsin....brrr☃️ but I'm testing out the digital nomad life for the next year. I've been a traveling therapist for about five years and have had many amazing experiences while also working.

I have a 19-year-old daughter who I dropped off to college in September, and I'm figuring out who I am as an empty nester. I'm fairly certain Gilmore Girls was secretly based on our life.

I was married, but it essentially ended on the honeymoon and now I'm travel dating. 🥴

Creatively I play the harp 🎶 and I paint abstract paintings—one of which was on CNBC this past year.

12/20/21 • 29 min

In this episode, I talk with Megan Gunnell, therapist and the Founder and Director of Thriving Well Institute, on the topic of retreat building (and how to step up and host one, even without retreat hosting experience).

Megan is well known for her Thriving Therapist Facebook Group with over 12k members, as well as for hosting international retreats in places like Tuscany, Costa Rica, and more.

Tune in as we talk about chasing your passions, the fears of hosting retreats (Will people actually like them?), and how to move from idea to action.

We also talk about the need for connection, restoration, and self-care.

You won't want to miss the fantastic advice that Megan offers on how to plan and host retreats, pursue your dreams, and, of course, face your fears and failures head-on.

Megan has an upcoming retreat this May 2022 in Red Rocks, Utah. There are still spots available for this amazing, self-care-filled experience, so make sure to check out the details.

In this episode, we're not just talking the talk; we're taking a deep dive into personal struggles both therapists and clients face, challenging the stigma around seeking mental health care and embracing our vulnerabilities.

I talk with Sandtrice Russell as she opens up about the need for safe spaces and advocacy, particularly for the BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ communities.

3 key themes:

  1. Vulnerability as a Bridge: Therapists' self-disclosure and openness about personal struggles can build rapport and trust, making it easier for clients to open up and be vulnerable in turn.
  2. Authenticity in Practice: Showcasing your true values and creating an accepting space for clients of all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA2+, Neurodivergent, and BIPOC individuals, is not just good practice—it's essential for safety and relatability.
  3. The Human Connection: Therapy is more than a checklist; it's about actual authentic human connection and openness to change. We must prioritize the rapport and right fit in the therapist-client relationship.

Note from Sandtrice:

I’ve been in the helping profession since 2004. I've been working in my respective field for over 18 years. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from the University of West Georgia in 2004 and later obtained my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health from Troy State University in 2012. I’m currently a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in the State of Georgia. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals across various populations providing mental health counseling, career counseling, mentorship, and life coaching services. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential group homes, outpatient mental health, inpatient mental health, and community-based counseling. I specialize in working with clients coping with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, trauma, and individuals of the LGBT community who are seeking a safe space. I also have experience working with Veterans and Active Duty Serviceman. In addition to my role as a Licensed Mental Health professional, I’m a Motivational Speaker and Mental Health Advocate who shares mental health advice on my YouTube Channel and all Social Media Platforms under the handle Tree the LPC. I’m extremely passionate about helping and empowering others to prosper. My mission statement for my organizations Unique Destiny Inc & Unique Destiny Counseling is Empowerment through Education.

All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 99: How To Become A Published Author [featuring Nicole Arzt]
play

08/19/23 • 32 min

Becoming a published author feels pretty daunting. Where do you even start? How do you actually see it through?

During this episode, I talked with Nicole Arzt for the second time. She's the person behind the incredibly funny "Psychotherapy Memes."

I know for myself, I have 3 different book drafts, all sitting in Google Docs, waiting for me to circle back to them at some point.

Nicole talks about the process of becoming a published author, how to work through all of the insecurities and self-doubt, and the concept of "just getting going."

During this episode, we discuss:

  • The vulnerability of the publishing process
  • Do I even have anything to say that people would read?
  • How the hell do I get published?
  • How do I monetize my book?
  • Tips and strategies on just getting started

More about Nicole:

Nicole Arzt is a practicing psychotherapist in Southern California. In her work, she has worked with a wide variety of individuals, couples, and families. Her clinical emphasis lies in treating substance use, eating disorders, and complex trauma.

An accomplished author, Nicole contributes to numerous mental health organizations. She owns Soul of Therapy LLC, a writing and SEO business for therapists. She is also the founder of Psychotherapy Memes, a global community of more than 125,000 followers. Psychotherapy Memes aims to provide a comedic outlet for coping with the many challenges associated with this field.

In addition, Nicole enjoys consulting and speaking with new therapists about working in mental health. She's been featured on several podcasts and has been the keynote speaker for several events around the country. She currently facilitates the Prelicensed Group on the Teletherapist Network.

Her debut book, Sometimes Therapy Is Awkward, is available wherever books are sold.

I would also like to thank Heard for sponsoring this episode. Doing your own accounting as a self-employed therapist is stressful. I get it because I've been there. When I first started my private practice, I wasn't sure how much to save for taxes or how quarterly taxes worked. I didn't want to fuck up and get in trouble with the IRS. That's why I'm so glad I found Heard, the financial back office for therapists. Through easy-to-use software and awesome support, they help therapists manage their bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, and more, with affordable monthly and annual plans.

All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 75: Pivot, Adjust, and Get Back Up [featuring Amber Lyda]
play

03/05/23 • 44 min

It can be really easy for new entrepreneurs to get caught in a comparison trap and uphold these one-dimensional expectations and standards around what it means to be successful.

Many new entrepreneurs are often under the belief that success is measured by meeting grand goals and making tons of money, but the reality is that success holds a different meaning for everyone, and if you structure your business and lifestyle to match your values, you will be able to create a business that, no matter how much money you make or many vacations you take, will be truly fulfilling.

If you are at the place where you wonder what's next and if you're "doing entrepreneurship the right way," then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Amber Lyda, psychologist and moderator of the Online Therapists Facebook Group.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Identify different ways to measure success and avoid the comparison trap.
  2. Understand that it is okay to say no to things that don't align with your values and that not jumping on trends doesn't mean that you will be lacking.
  3. Learn ways that a therapist can evolve their entrepreneurial ventures over time, from butt-in-the-seat therapy to the skies the limit.

It's important for therapist entrepreneurs to embrace the idea that entrepreneurship is a journey and not a destination. As they grow and evolve, it's okay to pivot their business and services to better align with their passions, values, and goals. Being open to change and evolution can lead to even greater success, opportunities, and fulfillment in their entrepreneurial journey.

Message from Amber:

Hi. I’m Amber Lyda. I’m a psychologist who, for YEARS, let my inner Go-Getter trample all over my inner Life-Haver. I found a way to continue to do the work I LOVED without sacrificing the life I wanted.

I left my agency job and started an ONLINE-ONLY cash pay therapy practice... and then I built a side hustle... which turned into my primary hustle. Now I help other therapists do the same!

I coach, consult, and teach courses to help therapists get clear on the life they want to have and how to get there. Whether it’s...

  • training them to build their own online therapy practice,
  • marketing to private pay clients (yes, across state lines!),
  • or coaching them through finding their other passions and turning them into profits,

I help therapists Dream Big and Live Better.

Email me and share where you are in your dream building and what you need to move forward!

All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 97: Lead With Curiosity to Effect Change [featuring Michael Ashford]
play

08/05/23 • 36 min

How is change truly affected and sustained? This may feel like a big, existential question, but one that is certainly worthy of asking.

During this episode, I talk with Michael Ashford, director of marketing at The Receptionist for iPad.

People need the autonomy to make decisions when change is being illicit-ed, and "facts don't solve fights."

I discuss my former gambling addiction, how hellacious it was, and how I was able to pull myself out of it.

We talk about how you can go from feeling extremely confident to feeling like "I know absolutely nothing" in a matter of moments.

Michael and I discuss failure, our own definitions of it, and how it can sometimes feel like, "The End." I personally think that failure, a dose of humility, and a little bit of self-doubt are absolutely crucial, personally and professionally.

This episode is deep, and we talk about some really profound existential experiences, including the importance of community and connection.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Understand how society often rewards certainty, but true growth and change come from embracing curiosity, approaching challenges with an open mind, seeking out new perspectives, and exploring different solutions.
  2. Learn how to reframe failure and imposter syndrome as a learning experience to tap into our resilience and uncover new opportunities for growth.
  3. Identify ways to build a network of diverse, supportive, and trusted individuals who can provide feedback, guidance, and support during difficult times.

It takes courage to face failure and impostor syndrome, especially when society tells you to seek certainty and avoid failure. However, if you lead with curiosity, embrace vulnerability and exploration, and welcome changes in your life, you'll be more likely to have greater personal growth and entrepreneurial success.

More about Michael:

Michael Ashford is a communications explorer and a tireless optimist. He has spent years researching leadership, conflict communications, and how to overcome political and social polarization in an effort to chart a path to help us bridge divides, communicate well, and find more common ground. Michael is the Director of Marketing at a Denver-based software company, The Receptionist, as well as a podcaster, a two-time TEDx speaker, and what he calls an "independent journalist" as a shoutout to his former career as a newspaper editor.

In this episode, I talked with Jessica Harris, LCSW and business coach for therapists, about her journey from building a thriving private pay group practice to selling it to focus solely on empowering other therapists through her coaching.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Transitioning with Strategy: Jessica reveals how she successfully sold her group practice while ensuring continuity and support for her team, opting to sell it to a trusted colleague rather than a faceless firm.
  2. Balancing Passion and Practicality: Learn from Jessica's experience of balancing a booming coaching business with the demands of running a group practice, and how she decided to follow her true passion.
  3. Importance of Mindset: Jessica emphasizes the critical role of mindset in business growth and shares how trusting her intuition has led to continuous success in her entrepreneurial journey.

More about Jessica:

Jessica Harris is an LCSW and business coach for therapists growing a private pay practice. After building a thriving private pay group practice—where she hired six therapists and consistently attracted 5-10 full-fee clients weekly—Jessica sold her therapy practice to focus solely on empowering other therapists to get cash-pay clients. She now dedicates herself to coaching therapists through her 12-week program, designed to help therapists simplify marketing and fill their caseload with cash-pay clients. Jessica is on a mission to help therapists everywhere create financial abundance and achieve their dream lives while making a meaningful impact in the world.

All Things Private Practice Podcast - Episode 4: Money Mindset Real Talk [None Of That "Charge What You're Worth Shit]
play

12/03/21 • 18 min

Therapists tend to struggle with money, setting rates, and understanding the value of what they offer. Hey... We never had business training, so it makes sense. : (

How many times have you answered a phone call from a potential client and said "My rate is 150, but my sliding scale is 30-150?" Your own anxiety caused you to immediately offer a sliding scale without being asked for one.

The mental health profession is crucial, necessary, and undervalued. We as a profession tend to be our own worst enemies when understanding the value that we offer.

We all have our own money traumas, fears, cultural narratives...

As a therapist and entrepreneur who used to have a GIGANTIC gambling addiction, money has always been triggering.

Whether you are saying...

  • You don't deserve to make money
  • You don't get into this field to make money
  • Talking about money makes me uncomfortable
  • Charging money goes against my values

If you're a licensed therapist, then you have...

  • At least a masters degree
  • Thousands of hours towards your licensure
  • Continuing ed hours
  • Student loan debt
  • Thousands of supervision hours

Yet you still can't understand that your time is valuable. We don't charge for 60-minute increments of our time. We charge for the transformation.

If you're still reading this, ask yourself how much you spend on your own self-care and what it does for you?

Most people say something like "I spend $100/week on a massage + tip."

  • It makes me feel relaxed
  • It's my me-time
  • It's self-care
  • It helps with pain and anxiety

As therapists, we offer ^^^ and muchhhhhhhhhhhhh more.

Let's start to understand that we are allowed to charge fees, enforce cancellations and no-shows, and more importantly, MAKE MONEY AND HELP PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY!

A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!

I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.
