2023 Recession Plan for Therapists

Staying Grounded During a Period of Panic with Colleen
Colleen specializes in helping people in the Sacramento area who live with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress learn coping skills to reduce the impact of symptoms, invest in positive self-worth, and create a long term wellness plan.
Colleen talks about the benefits of putting in the hard work up front. Her practice had a solid foundation before the pandemic, and she has been able to maintain her client relationships because she was pivoting her processes rather than trying to build them during this time. She warns against letting the anxiety turn into overwhelm, and gives us the important reminder that you don't have to do it ALL right NOW.

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.
