Today’s guest is Kim Engstrom, a colleague who practices in my local area, just south of Philadelphia.  Our topic is perfect for my return after a break; it’s about practicing mindfulness. As practitioners, we must learn to take time for ourselves, even when we’re battling the daily grind. Mindfulness is a basic idea, but a powerful medium that can be helpful for anyone, no matter what your profession. Let’s join Kim to hear what mindfulness means for her and how she fits it into her life.

Melissa shares her favorite tools, tips, and what she’s learned in thinking outside the box to meet her clients’ needs. Join us!

Today’s conversation is with Katie May, from just outside Philadelphia, whose therapy practice specifically focuses on teens and adolescents. Our topic is one that frequently comes up in the STC Facebook community: starting a group within your private practice.

With Katie, I’ve found someone who has successfully navigated the ins and outs of this process. In fact, she is known as The Group Guru. She’s figured out what to do and what not to do, so we’re splitting this daunting topic into a two-part conversation. Today we are discussing the format and inspiration for a group, how to structure a group and Katie’s pearls of wisdom. Join us!
