    With all the changes in the therapy profession and private practice lately, I’ve heard folks wonder if it’s possible to have a successful private practice in 2026.

    Therapy Starts Before the Initial Session

    I recently reached out to a therapist for myself and realized how much the entire intake process sets the tone of the therapeutic alliance. In this episode, I share some suggestions for how we can hold a therapeutic frame with potential clients before the therapy starts. Not only will it improve the client experience, but setting accurate expectations can help clients make an accurate decision before consenting to therapy, and clients are less likely to cancel before the first session (like I did!).

    Social Media is a Hot Mess. We can do Better

    We all know that social media is messy. In this episode, we explore two questions that have been taking up space in my brain lately: How much pseudoscience is spread by respected therapists with HUGE platforms, even amongst fellow therapists (think: psychologists with longstanding bestsellers) How harmful we are to each other in the comments. Why do we dogpile on each other so hard? Why are therapists just as culpable of piling on each other? Is speaking to each other this way online effective? And importantly: is there a better way?Thank you to Loretta J. Ross’ for her work on Calling In - links to her work referenced below! Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.
