  • Resumen

  • The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide: Where Therapists Live, Breathe, and Practice as Human Beings It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when clinicians must develop a personal brand to market their private practices, and are connecting over social media, engaging in social activism, pushing back against mental health stigma, and facing a whole new style of entrepreneurship. To support you as a whole person, a business owner, and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

  • Should We Stop Badmouthing Evidence Based Practice? An interview with Jessica Tappana, LCSW

    Should We Stop Badmouthing Evidence Based Practice? An interview with Jessica Tappana, LCSW
    Jul 22 2024
    Should We Stop Badmouthing Evidence Based Practice? An interview with Jessica Tappana, LCSW Curt and Katie interview Jessica Tappana, LCSW about evidence-based practices (EBPs). We talk about what EBPs actually are and how to implement them in clinically sound and ethical ways. We look at what therapists usually get wrong about EBPs and what they can do to improve their practice. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode, we talk about how Evidence Based Practices work in the real world Jessica is a long-time listener of the show and a good friend of ours and has been talking with us about how we have spent too much time bad-mouthing EBPs. We decided it would be good to hash out the ideas around “manualized treatment” and how you can actually bring yourself as a clinician into the work, even when using these interventions that are backed by science. What are Evidence-Based Practices? · Using well-researched interventions · Using the expertise of the clinician · Understanding the needs of the clients What should therapists know about evidence-based practice? · There is room to implement EBP without full adherence · Contrasting “eclectic” from “meeting a client where they are” and pulling from other evidence-based interventions · The ways that EBPs are trained and studied (due to funding sources) lead to strict adherence · How you teach or implement the EBP can be unique to the clinicians · Contrasting fidelity of the model with adherence to model · You can bring yourself as a therapist into the room AND provide evidence-based interventions · Training and supervision is more challenging when you are not seeking strict adherence · It’s important to have time to practice therapy outside of sessions with clients What data or assessments should therapists use with Evidence Based Practices? · Feedback informed care (e.g., FIT) · Assessments of depression or anxiety consistently to see progress · Screening tools and measurement to track progress · It is important for clinicians to believe in and use the data collection Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/

  • Two Years In: Is 988 Actually Helping People Facing Mental Health Crises?

    Two Years In: Is 988 Actually Helping People Facing Mental Health Crises?
    Jul 15 2024
    Two Years In: Is 988 Actually Helping People Facing Mental Health Crises? Curt and Katie check back with the now two-year-old program and identify what’s working and what’s not with the crisis hotline. There is data that it is 98% but there are also concerns that have been raised. We look at reports of data sharing without transparency, increases in police involvement and involuntary hospitalization, and inconsistently (and potentially inadequately) trained hotline workers. We also explore what therapists can do to support clients who might need this resource. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about what is work and what is not working with 988 Katie became concerned about data use and how well 988 is working after seeing some articles from Mad in America. Curt and Katie thought it would be good to dig a little deeper into what is actually happening with this newer crisis hotline. What are concerns being raised about 988 at this point? · Data sharing with a lack of transparency · Different definitions of confidential and confidentiality · There is not really a guarantee that you can remain anonymous · Increase of involuntary hospitalization and police involvement · Lack of infrastructure and lack of local resources to manage crisis response · Callers may be routed to the call center nearest to their area code, not current location · Not advertising 988 in high population areas because they will get calls no matter where their community members are due to their area codes · Training of the hotline workers is inconsistent and may not be sufficient · Lack of funding to make improvements and develop new resources What are the risks when someone calls 988? · The call center staff may not have training to deal with the caller’s issues · Responses on the call line may be overly focused on psychoeducation · Lack of time for each caller (without assurance that callers get time to talk through the concerns that led them to call) · There is a possibility that there will be responses that are truly unhelpful to the caller · Incarceration or involuntary hospitalization · Inconsistent follow up if calls are dropped or callers disengage What should therapists be aware of as they navigate 988 at this time? · They are reporting a 98% success rate, so this is a resource worth considering · Make sure your clients understand what to use 988 for · Help your clients to assess the risks and benefits of calling · Work to increase the transparency about data sharing, confidentiality and anonymity · There is advocacy needed to improve 988 as a resource Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/

    Don’t Let TikTok Fool You – Being a Therapist is Hard Work: An interview with Sandra Kushnir, LMFT and Anita Avedian, LMFT
    Jul 8 2024
    Don’t Let TikTok Fool You – Being a Therapist is Hard Work: An interview with Sandra Kushnir, LMFT and Anita Avedian, LMFT Curt and Katie interview Sandra Kushner and Anita Avedian about how the therapy business works now. We talk about how the profession and those who are entering it has changed over the years. We look at what new therapists can expect when they join a group practice, pushing back against some of the broadly held misconceptions of what it is like to be a therapist today. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode, we talk about what new therapists can expect when entering the field We invited Anita Avedian and Sandra Kushnir to come talk about their latest endeavor: a course called Degree to Practice. What are the misconceptions new therapists have about what it looks like to work as a therapist? · There is a difference between desired caseload and the capacity to earn money and hours toward licensure · Expectations don’t seem to be realistic and seem to be impacted by conversations about burnout · These expectations are being set by grad school, social media, coaching programs · There doesn’t seem to be an understanding about what it takes to build a practice and what group practice owners are doing to create these workplaces · Therapists will need to learn how to work with clients that they are not comfortable with · Developing expertise is essential for attracting clients – be the best at what you do · Part of developing expertise is learning how to address higher risk with all clients What can therapists expect when they join a group private practice? · The best group practice owners will have transparency and clarity around expectations · Often there will be a minimum caseload (Sandra and Anita both require a minimum of 20 clients per week) · There is an overhead for each therapist, so therapists will not earn the full amount they are charging · Insurance or sliding fee practices will need to pay therapists less than private pay practices due to the income available · In many private practices, it will take some time to build a caseload, which means that it will take time to gain consistent income · Some group practices will teach you how to run your own practice, some will just provide a space for doing clinical work · Looking at practical limits as “task conflict” rather than “relational conflict” – for example, pay is a factor of the business’ needs and capacity, not a personal evaluation of someone’s worth Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/
