Before you do anything on your private practice, we invite you to join us in brainstorming your vision! A solid vision can include your values (e.g. generosity, service, freedom, liberation, creativity, freshness, etc.), a mission, service within your community, clinical excellence, and some sort of solution that addresses systemic change. 

We also talk about whether or not to have a niche, and how to make that decision. You'll learn about whether or not you need a niche, and how to determine what yours is. What are the conversations that only you can be having, and with which clients? Let's explore this together!

In this first episode of the Radical Practice podcast we decided it would be fun to do a shorter chat and have it be a simple get-to-know-you. In this episode you'll:

• Hear a bit more about our professional backgrounds
• Learn what we didn't know about each other
• Find out what we dislike about private practice
• And see what fun things we have going on in our lives.

In this interview we talk to Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall (she/her) and learn more about her radical practice. Jennie is a radical eating disorder psychologist and we love the work she does on Instagram! 

Jennie talks about her transition from academia to private practice  and how she's built a private practice where the personal is also political. Jennie focuses on unlearning modalities rooted in patriarchy and hierarchy (therapist-as-expert) and relearning healing practices that are real and authentic.

Learn more about Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall at her website or on Instagram. Thank you Jennie!!

We want you to start a radical practice! But what is one, anyway? And what's wrong with the traditional private practice model? Co-hosts Silvana Espinoza Lau (she/her) and Ariana Lloyd (she/they) break-down the radical practice model in this introductory episode. You'll find the elements are: 

1. community
2. embodied relationships
3. vision
4. systemic change

Our hope is that by listening to this episode (and all future episodes, because we know you'll want to ;)) you will have the pieces you need to build your own private practice. Follow along as we guide you through both the theoretical and practical pieces of owning your own radical practice.
