13. Called to...Season 1 Reflections

The business of being a mental health practitioner running your own private practice is something that we see people discuss on social media, but these conversations are often lacking in nuance. Many of the general public think therapists just want to take your money, but don’t know much about what goes on behind the scenes, both emotionally (how do we reach the people who can’t afford to see us?) and financially (how do we price our services and what’s the deal with insurance?).

9. Called to...Getting & Keeping Clients

Who we are and how we show up in the room is often referred to as “clinical persona,” and directly relates to our clinical niche(s). However, it is also wrapped up in power and oppression and messages we were given, either overt or covert, about what was appropriate or acceptable.

Episode 7: Called to...Our Clinical Niche

Mental health practitioners are not trained to think like business owners and business principles have a messy relationship with capitalism. Collective care is complicated and mental health practitioners don’t often include their care in the equation – from telehealth vs. brick and mortar office to cutting overloaded caseloads, we cover a lot.

Episode 5: Called to...Self Care

A podcast by two BIPoC/PGM Mental health practitioners (Dr. Ksera Dyette & Blanca Torres, LMFT) at different parts of our professional journeys, who answered the call to healing. We are here to have conversations that were sorely lacking in our training...like how our cultural identities shape our approach to mental health, how whiteness is deeply embedded in our fields, and how we show up despite it...to spite it. 

Ksera Dyette, Psy.D. (she/her)
