This week Jeremy is joined by Bria Servoss of Archipelago Counseling. Bria shares her winding journey into the mental health field, which began with aspirations in music and hairdressing before transitioning into therapy. She discusses the intimate, therapeutic nature of hairdressing and her eventual decision to pursue social work during the pandemic, despite facing challenges in academia due to her inquisitive nature. Both Bria and Jeremy reflect on the value of authenticity in therapy, as well as the importance of balancing professional demands with self-care, especially for neurodivergent therapists.

The wonderfully authentic Emily Aleksy from ERA Wellness is back on the podcast for another episode. This go around, we talk about burnout. And it’s a great, meaningful topic that maybe doesn’t get talked about with the depth it requires, so we dive in. But, it’s an ADHD deep dive, so we also talk about placentas, the NFL, late stage capitalism, and birds. Our chat on burnout covers the experiential side of burnout, the contributing factors, what we as therapists mean when we talk about rest, and how healing in community looks different than healing alone.

Emily truly has put together an excellent team of providers, so to learn more about the wonderful clinicians she works with and their upcoming groups, head over to erawellnesstherapy.com or give them a follow on Instagram.
