The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy

Small Town Sex Therapist


Listen Later

It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when therapists must develop a personal brand to market their practices.

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.

Interview with Jeanette Tolson, LCSW, CASAC
