Why, oh why, did I become a therapist? What was I thinking?!? Am I losing it? Or was I just misinformed?.... Join Therapy Tea hosts, Jazmin and Karen, two licensed professional counselors, every other Wednesday, as they, with the help of other mental health professionals, seek to find the answers to these deep, gut-wrenching, existential questions. Each episode, they interview fellow counselors and other professionals working in the mental health field to discuss mistakes they’ve made, career mis-steps, and those “ah-ha!” and “AHHHHHHH!!!!” moments that shift perspective. They cover the real-life practice of mental health work through a pretentious-free lens and reveal the out-of-the-textbook realities of counseling theories. All the while, they hope desperately to gain some hindsight insights on all the things they wish they had known before becoming counselors.

    38. Aligning with Your Unique Energy and Blending Alternative Practices (ft. Shawna Lovin, LPC-S)

    This week Karen shares some stuff she learned about in an interesting recent training. Check out the book if you're curious too! Personality and Wholeness in Therapy: Integrating 9 Patterns of Developmental Pathways in Clinical Practice by Daniel J. Siegel, MD, and the PDP Group This week we are sharing our conversation with Shawna Lovin who is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Johnson C. Smith University in North Carolina and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Shawna currently works with an EAP full-time and then also runs a private practice on the side where she offers counselor supervision. Shawna shares her extremely unconventional journey into becoming a counselor and how she adapted her practice after realizing that direct client work is just not her jam. Say what?!? Shawna also talks about how some personal experiences pushed her into exploring perhaps less-conventional wellness ideas and practices, which then led her to the theory of Human Design, which then shifted her decision making in all areas of her life. Shawna is so honest and clear about who she is and how she shows up - she’s unique and she knows it! Listen in and be inspired by her authenticity and creativity in how she navigates this profession. Resources mentioned:  Balance is B.S.: How to Have a Work. Life.

    37. The Wrecking Ball Effect and Finding Breathwork (ft. Kimber Achorn, LPC)

    This week Jazmin learned so much about balancing returning to school while being a practicing counselor. What she’s learning in school - all about applied behaviorism - is also dove-tailing into her counseling work with her clients because it’s enabling her to explain so much so differently than before. We should all learn our ABC’s!

    36. Disrupting the System and Decolonizing Mental Health (ft. Alyssa Cedillo, LPC-S, RPT-S)

    This week Karen learned that she does not have a good way to re-calibrate to client work after a long vacation. We’ve talked about having transitions from client work back into home life, but what about the reverse? Let us know if you have any suggestions here because we both really wonder what are some options for how to transition back into therapeutic work-mode after being in vacation-mode.  Check out The Couch Next Door podcast! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285228/about We love Candice Fraser and you will too! Connect with Candice on Instagram @candicefraserlpc This week we are sharing our conversation with Alyssa Cedillo who is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University.  Alyssa currently serves as the Clinical Director of Tree of Life Counseling Center and is the Founder and President of the nonprofit Root of It Foundation, all based in San Antonio, Texas. Alyssa’s passion for decolonizing mental health services is palpable in this conversation with her and her entire career is focused on advocating for clients facing oppression, trauma, and intergenerational challenges, in navigating systemic barriers.  With Alyssa we discuss the importance of getting out in your community, challenging yourself to expand your perspective, and embracing discomfort as a necessary component of growth and healing - both as an individual and for a system. Alyssa does not shy away from saying the things that need to be said and is a role model for how to professionally be a megaphone pushing for change at every level. Alyssa is an inspiration to all of us to get more involved and to be active advocates!
