The 8-hour, multi-day intensive model does not work for most clients, and it absolutely does not work for most clinicians. But don't worry.

If you're curious about offering intensives in your practice, you have choices. In today's video, we explore how rigid clinical models are becoming...

From where I sit, I get to meet so many cool therapists who are diversifying their businesses with intensives. It's time that all of you got in on the conversation. My hope is that you will hear the experiences of others to inspire you, build you up, and give you confidence to do...

Y'all, I did a thing: took my twins on vacation in Pacifica, stayed at a rental house we've never stayed in, and I did it ALL BY MYSELF. Talk about a parenting milestone!

In addition to creating new neural pathways on our inaugural mommy vacation, I noticed old neural pathways. My brain was...

As EMDR therapists, we know that we never want to overwhelm our clients with feeling too much or too fast when it comes to trauma. Less is often more when creating safety. We know this because we are taught to spend time in Phase 2 with resourcing and preparation before going into trauma...

Today we talk about a framework to make sense of what is (still) happening now and how to intentionally structure...

Anyone else crying this week as your kids start school? My kindergarteners need me less because they're growing, as they should. It's a normal part of life. And this will continue as they keep growing into who they're meant to be. This is how I know that I'm doing my job.

I hope that all of you have taken the time to enjoy this summer. I know that I have. My family and I have taken advantage of our post pandemic summer to the fullest and the twins learned to boogie board in the ocean.

And while we’re all enjoying the longer days and warmer temps, we all know...

I opened up my laptop the other day and ended up in one of the many private practice Facebook groups. I stumbled across a post I’d seen 1,000 versions of before. And it went something like this...

“I’m an exhausted parent and I don’t know how to fit my client schedule into...

When we talk about wealth, success and boundaries in our field, it can feel like a controversial topic. And that's because, for therapists, tons of negative cognitions have been assigned to our financial accomplishments...
