Looking for a compelling narrative of empathy and growth? Join host Kelley Stevens in this episode of the Private Practice Pro for an honest look into the world of mother-daughter therapy duo, Kimberly and Lyle Wick. Together, they share powerful insights on supporting families affected by substance abuse, discussing their own journeys along the way. Through candid conversations, they dispel shame, inspire resilience, and offer invaluable advice for established and aspiring therapists alike.
Guest Bio:
Kimberly is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and holds a master's in clinical psychology and an MBA. She is a former adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine University in the Graduate School of Psychology.
Throughout years of her own therapy (both individual and family) she became passionate about the process of self-growth, discovering how her behaviors were creating patterns in her life, landing her in similar situations with different storylines. It was during her experiences with family addiction/mental health that she learned to take contrary action, setting boundaries with loved ones from a place of clarity versus fear. She noticed changes taking place not only in her relationships with loved ones but also in her relationship with herself.
Lyle is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a licensed Advanced Alcohol Drug Counselor (LAADC). Co-owner of Bridge The Gap, a therapeutic mentoring company, and has an extensive work history with treatment centers. Her personal journey in recovery, both as an adult child of and her own addiction, equips her with the rare ability to engage clinical savvy and distinct empathy in the way she supports family members through their recovery process. It has become her passion to help individuals and families who are struggling with their loved one's addiction and mental health issues, find their own personal empowerment through education and insight.

Ready to take control of your financial future and build a thriving, ethical private practice?

Guest Bio:
Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm and in control of their finances through her coaching at Money Nuts & Bolts and her podcast Money Skills for Therapists. It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because the financial side was too stressful. So Linzy decided to help therapists and health professionals develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught these skills, she focuses on the "how" of making the business side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying.
