Showing Up As Your Authentic Self in Private Practice with Karen
We spoke with Karen, a trauma recovery specialist in Salem, OR, about the benefits of telemental health sessions, being authentic in our relationships with clients, and setting realistic expectations for your business.

Online Therapy & Telehealth Skills: Time to Raise the Bar
Whether you have been doing online therapy, telehealth, or telemental health for years, or you were thrown into telehealth because of the COVID crisis, you are likely doing more online therapy than ever before. While the research has shown online therapy to be as effective as in-person therapy, there is research, and there is reality.
The good news is, the process for getting better at online therapy mirrors the same process that allows us to improve in any area of our clinical practice, or truly, in any area of our lives.

Pandemic and Play Therapy with Lynn McLean
When you have solid processes in place, pivoting and adapting is only a matter of getting your bearings - it's okay to slow down! This pandemic is allowing us to rethink everything we know about therapy, and recognize myths we had never challenged before.
Lynn joined us for a wonderful chat about adapting play therapy for the virtual world, and recognizing that both children and parents CAN continue to benefit from these services right now.
Children are experiencing sadness and looking for normalcy right now, too, and they miss their therapists just like they miss their friends. Therapists who work with children are here to interpret for them, during a time when parents are at odds with their children's behavior, and that is so impactful. You can be there for your clients and help parents understand what their child is really saying during this tough time. These relationships are crucial, and maintaining them is only a matter of adapting and thinking creatively.
