Post Pandemic Practice

Curt and Katie chat about what our practices can look like post pandemic. We explore the creativity that the pandemic has inspired and what the clinical and business implications might be for continuing in flexible modalities. We talk about logistics, clinical evaluation, and ethics related to the options available for the clients. We also talk about how to take care of yourself while taking care of clients.     

It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How creativity can be used in practice
  • Different options for therapy (telehealth, outdoor/walk and talk, in-person, concierge)
  • The logistical challenges of having different options for your clients (different locations, different modalities, etc.)
  • The flexibility required during the pandemic and how to adjust schedules after returning
  • The benefits of having so many options
  • Boundaries and flexibility needed to manage a multimodal practice
  • The importance of communication and teamwork
  • The benefits of this flexibility to clinicians
  • The considerations of cost and charging different fees, and rationale for how you set fees
  • The clinical benefits and challenges for different modalities
  • The necessary documentation of rationale
  • Clinical considerations for in-person sessions
  • Some CYA advice
  • The importance of taking this time to deliberately design the practice you want
