What happens when your dream job slowly turns into the very thing burning you out? For many mental health professionals, the answer is quiet exhaustion, creeping resentment, and a body that starts sending warning signs you cannot ignore.

In this episode, Denielle Rigoglioso, licensed professional counselor, certified substance abuse counselor, and founder of Saltwater Coaching and Consulting, shares how managing two multimillion-dollar community mental health sites pushed her to a breaking point and ultimately into private practice. After cracking a tooth from stress, she made the leap and built a six-figure private practice in under 90 days.

Denielle breaks down the mindset shifts, financial planning, marketing strategy, and AI tools that helped her replace burnout with freedom and profit, and shows what is truly possible for mental health professionals ready for change.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What mental health professionals are not taught about supervision in grad school.
• How to support interns and pre-licensed clinicians without burning out.
• The real skills students need beyond active listening.
• Why supervision makes you a better clinician at every stage.
• How to grow a group practice by mentoring the next generation.
• When and how to introduce AI tools like Berries into training.
• Using supervision to reduce imposter syndrome and build clinical confidence.
