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.

    53. We Can Do Assessments Too and Private Practice Gumption (ft. Caitlin DeWeese, LPC)

    This week Jazmin learned that it’s a lot of work changing jobs as a counselor: ethical termination is tough! She shares how it’s been as she is transitioning out of the group practice she has been with for awhile as she is working through that transition thoughtfully with her clients. For her, it’s been more intense all around. What’s job change been like for you as a mental health professional? This week we are sharing our conversation with Caitlin DeWeese who is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Caitlin holds a Bachelor of Science in Education and Spanish from Baylor University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas State University - San Marcos. Caitlin is currently in private practice based in Austin, Texas. Her practice is called Live Better Austin Therapy and she focuses on working with neurodivergence and providing ADHD and Autism assessments for adults. With Caitlin we talk about her initial career as a Spanish language teacher in Texas schools and how the mental and physical toll of that career shifted her into becoming a counselor. Caitlin shares her own experience of grappling and coming to terms with her own ADHD diagnosis and how that has impacted her as a clinician. Also, this comes up in our conversation: NARM is NeuroAffective Relational Model. Something we explore with Caitlin is how there are maybe certain personality traits and interests - like being a self-motivated problem solver for fun - that are pretty important if one wants to succeed in private practice.
