We know that work as a trauma therapist can often leave clinicians feeling burnt out. And when we live and work through a globally altering experience, like the COVID-19 pandemic, that burnout gets amplified and can push folks to leave the field entirely.

So, can you imagine what life would look like if you had three times the amount of clients in your practice?

Y’all, for life as a child therapist, that’s what reality can look like.

I sat down with my friend and colleague, Nicole Symcox, to talk about what private practice self-care should look like while working as a virtual EMDR therapist with kids.

Listen as Nicole shares her own iron-clad systems that keep her safe so that she may continue to do the same for her clients. We unpack what it’s like to create boundaries with kids and their parents, the secret to protecting your time, and how to design a practice that works within your self-care container.

Your business is a precious resource for the folks in your community, so don’t spend your time overextending yourself for pennies on the dollar.

Let us help you create a business that reflects your worth.

Looking for more business self-care encouragement?
If your private practice is leaving you burnt out and feeling desperate for change, it's probably because you're in need of self-care that's built into your business model. As Nicole and I discuss, we're not taught how to run a business as we come up in our training and it's time for us to break that cycle.

The Consultation Program addresses this gap in our education by offering clinicians practice design support along side clinical consultation. Apply today to embark on an eight month journey in the only comprehensive consultation program out there.

I promise you, there's nothing like it!
