In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angela Koivula, psychologist and adjunct instructor at the University of Florida, about the complexities of navigating financial realities in the mental health profession and its impact on career decisions.
Key Takeaways:
Financial Planning & Sustainability: Many therapists face significant challenges in planning for retirement due to a lack of resources and knowledge about financial management in the mental health field. The constant need for marketing and client acquisition adds to the financial pressure, making self-care days seem like a luxury.
Private Practice Realities vs. Perceptions: The perceived glamour in private practice marketing often hides the tough realities. Many professionals feel conflicted between their values and the demands of running a successful practice. Angela shares her journey of shifting focus during the pandemic, finding lucrative contract work, and educating herself on financial independence to secure a more stable career path.
Systemic Issues & Solutions: The mental health profession is fraught with systemic issues like high student debt and low entry-level wages, making the field unsustainable for many. Angela argues for the need to re-evaluate career paths, customize work schedules for better work-life balance, and prioritize debt reduction for true financial freedom.
More about Angela:
Dr. Angela Koivula, Ph.D. (she/they) is a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years experience in the field of mental health serving individuals, couples, and groups as well as active and retired military personnel and wellness industries. She has also served as an adjunct instructor at the University of Florida. She is a Black and Queer individual on a journey to be her most authentic self in everything she does. Her roots originate in Kansas City, MO, and is a lifelong, die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan!

Group therapy services are a great option for therapists who want to diversify their practice and enhance client connection.

3 Key Takeaways:
Consistency in Marketing is Crucial: Don't shy away from posting multiple times across various platforms and track your marketing efforts. Remember, people need to see something multiple times before they take action.
Know Your Audience and Needs: Focus on timely group topics that meet current demands, and you can analyze your client caseload and community discussions for ideas.
Benefits for Clinicians and Clients: Group therapy offers more accessible options for clients and diversifies clinician workload to break the monotony of 1-on-1 sessions. Remember to establish clear structures for therapeutic and financial efficacy.
Brittany’s insights are great for anyone looking to expand their practice offerings and bring clients together in meaningful ways.

In this episode, Dr. Shauna Pollard and I had a dynamic discussion on navigating life and career through the lens of ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities.
Here are three key takeaways:
Embracing Neurodivergence in Business: We shared how openly disclosing our neurodivergent identities has not only helped us embrace who we are but has also made clients with similar characteristics feel more comfortable seeking therapy.
Importance of Community and Support: Dr. Pollard's coaching programs and consultation groups for BIPOC ADHD entrepreneurs highlight the crucial need for community support. These groups offer a platform for participants nationwide to connect and discuss essential topics like finances, practice-building, and resources.
Navigating the Challenges of Entrepreneurship with ADHD: Entrepreneurship requires balancing numerous ideas and managing expectations, a challenge magnified for those with ADHD. It's important to temper energy to prevent burnout and diversify interests to sustain longevity in practice.

In this episode, Maureen Werrbach, the owner and founder of The Group Practice Exchange, and I discuss how being autistic and ADHD shapes our leadership styles, the challenges and unique strengths that come with being neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and the ripple effect of being authentic, from creating safe work environments to fostering creativity among teams.
Key Takeaways:
Understanding Neurodivergent Traits: Embrace the unique strengths and challenges that come with being neurodivergent and how it shapes leadership and entrepreneurship.
Creating Inclusive Work Environments: Learn how openly sharing neurodivergent traits can lead to more accommodating and supportive workplaces that boost overall team success.
Authenticity in Business: Realize the power of showing up authentically in your professional life, and how it can create a positive impact on both your business and audience.
About Maureen:
Maureen developed her coaching program, The Group Practice Exchange, based not only on her own experience with starting her private practice but also growing it into a successful group practice.
She spent countless hours researching how to start a private practice (the legal and procedural steps) and then many more hours learning how to grow it into a group (again trying to figure out the appropriate steps). Through trial and error, she learned what works and what doesn’t in running a counseling group practice.
Maureen thoroughly enjoy helping clinicians become confident and organized group practice business owners.

In this episode, I spoke with Monica Leblanc, a seasoned therapist, coach, freelance writer, and Enneagram teacher, as she shared insights from her journey, particularly around her recent ADHD diagnosis and the importance of loving past versions of ourselves to stay present.
Key Takeaways:
Compassion for Past Selves: Monica highlights the need for compassion when reflecting on past versions of ourselves. This is especially relevant for those with late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, like ADHD, where understanding and compassion for "past parts" are crucial for healing.
Impact of Medication: Both Monica and I discussed the stigma surrounding medication for neurodivergent individuals. Monica spoke openly about how medication has transformed her executive functioning and brought clarity and progress in her work and daily life.
Authenticity and Alignment: Monica shared her journey from feeling like a "hot mess" in business to finding alignment in her personal and professional life. Her story underlines the value of authenticity and re-parenting one's inner child to create a successful, meaningful career.
More about Monica:
Monica is a therapist, coach, freelance writer, and enneagram teacher. Based out of Asheville, NC, she sees clients in her boutique therapy practice who want more connected relationships with themselves and their dear ones. She uses a combination of parts work (Internal family systems), the enneagram, and dynamic attachment repatterning experiencing (DARE) to help recovering people pleasers alchemize their pain into purpose and meaning and create alignment in their choices.

In this episode, I talk with Michael Michalowicz, an innovative entrepreneur, renowned author, and speaker. Michael delves into several insightful topics, from financial transparency to creating a culture of psychological ownership in the workplace.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone passionate about organized growth, this episode is packed with actionable advice and wisdom.
Here are three key takeaways:
Shift from Titles to Roles: Transitioning from a traditional pyramid structure to a web-like organizational setup allows for greater flexibility, and matching talent to tasks, instead of sticking to rigid titles, fosters internal growth and tailored professional support.
Financial Transparency & Security: Fiscal transparency impacts the employer-employee relationship positively, creating an equitable environment. Providing benefits like health insurance and 401ks meets employees' present and future needs, enhancing their sense of safety and security.
Cultivating Psychological Ownership: Empowering employees with control, personalization, and intimate knowledge deepens their commitment to the organization. This ownership transforms culture, boosts loyalty, and reduces onboarding costs.
More about Mike:
By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ (pronounced mi-‘kal-o-wits) had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies.
Confident that he had the formula to success, he became a small business angel investor… and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Mike has devoted his life to the research and delivery of innovative, impactful entrepreneurial strategies to you.

In this episode, I spoke with my good friend Shaelene Kite, a counselor, DBT-trained therapist, and yoga instructor based in New Jersey. We dove deep into the topic of creating a membership site as an alternative income stream for therapists.
Shaelene shared valuable insights from her experience founding the Rebel Minds Learning Collective, a DBT training membership site aimed at providing community, affordable training, and evolving the modality.
Here are three key takeaways:
Support & Community are Essential: Training alone isn't enough. Therapists need continuous support and community to avoid feelings of isolation and imposter syndrome. A membership site can offer consistent, accessible guidance.
Making Training Accessible: The high costs associated with advanced training limit accessibility to continued learning, but creating an affordable membership option offers access to high-quality DBT training and ongoing education, ensuring therapists can pursue further learning without breaking the bank.
Evolving Practices: It's crucial for therapeutic modalities to evolve with the times. Shaelene highlighted the importance of adapting DBT to be more inclusive, anti-racist, and responsive to the needs of neurodivergent clients.

In this episode, I talk with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani about her journey, the importance of understanding our own needs for emotional regulation, and some very exciting plans for our co-hosted Neurodivergent Burnout Retreat in Belize.

Understand Your Nervous System: Gabrielle shared her experience of learning about polyvagal theory. She discovered the profound impact the nervous system has on emotional regulation, a critical step in avoiding burnout.
Create Authentic Spaces: We discussed the importance of creating environments where neurodivergent individuals can be themselves without the pressure to conform. These spaces foster authenticity, emotional safety, and genuine connections.
Retreat Experience in Belize: Gabrielle and I are planning a neurodivergent retreat in San Ignacio, Belize, in January 2025. This immersive cultural experience aims to provide a relaxing and supportive environment amidst beautiful nature, holistic healing practices, and the serene pace of life.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Hogan and I discuss neurodivergent affirming assessments and the necessity for accessible, empathetic support for neurodivergent individuals.
Key takeaways:
The Paradigm Shift in Neurodivergence Awareness: Dr. Hogan emphasizes the importance of ongoing work for neurotypical clinicians to be affirming, addressing internalized ableism, and fostering a paradigm shift in understanding and accommodating neurodivergent individuals.
Challenges and Visibility in the Workplace: We discuss the increasing visibility of neurodivergent and autistic clinicians and the hurdles they face in disclosing their neurodivergence. Authenticity, cultural competence, and collaboration are crucial for effective assessments and building trust with clients.
Empowering Self-Diagnosis and Community Inclusion: Social media platforms are revolutionizing the way individuals relate to their neurodivergence, promoting self-discovery, and encouraging self-diagnosis.

In this episode, Patrick Casale talks with Molly Herold and Reese Ramponi about the essential practices for creating neurodiversity-affirming environments in retreat and event settings as well as in clinical spaces.
Here are 3 key takeaways:
Intentional Support Structures: Emphasized the importance of having dedicated support and decompression strategies at events to ensure sustainability and avoid burnout. Patrick shared how his neurotypical retreat co-host manages social interactions, creating a balanced dynamic.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices: Molly and Reese detailed the creation of a neurodiversity-affirming training course for ADHD diagnosis and evaluation. They stressed the urgency to bridge gaps in understanding and support, offering comprehensive education to mental health professionals.
Strategic Event Planning: From selecting event locations and vendors to providing sensory-friendly environments, intentionality plays a critical role in ensuring the comfort and security of neurodivergent individuals.
More about Molly and Reese:
Molly Herold is a white, nonbinary queer mental health therapist in private practice living on unceded Cherokee East land outside of Asheville, NC. As a therapist, Molly specializes in intersectional identity exploration, with a focus on trans/nonbinary folks, folks who’ve experienced trauma and neurodivergent people.
Reese Ramponi (they/them) is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing queer and neurodiversity-affirming evaluations, group therapy, and psychiatry to their clients in a community health setting for over 5 years. In addition to their full-time work, Reese supports the development, design, and implementation of multiple courses for NeuroAbundant, LLC, and is a ketamine-assisted therapist. Reese is dedicated to creating accessible, collaborative spaces where clients are given agency to make informed decisions about their health.
NeuroAbundant came from my desire to connect with and support neurodivergent people outside of the therapy room. It’s a true labor of love and it combines many of my nerdiest special interests including AuDHD coaching, writing, collective collaboration, social justice, art, teaching & facilitating, the magic of shared identity group work, well-organized travel and adventure!

There are many ways to create a business and community that doesn’t just survive but thrives, starting with prioritizing people over profit.
In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Mona Nour discuss the art of creating a sustainable and fulfilling business that aligns with your values while fostering a true sense of belonging.
3 Key Takeaways:
Align Your Business with Your Values: Entrepreneurs, especially in the mental health field, must consider the cost of not aligning business practices with their core values. It's about creating a fulfilling and supportive environment over merely chasing profits.
Prioritize Belonging and Community: Through transparent communication, individual preferences, and community events, you can build a culture where everyone feels seen, embraced, and celebrated.
Promote Cultural Competency: It’s crucial to address the gaps in cultural responsiveness in the therapy field. Focus on operationalizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
Dr. Nour’s conversation about her practice, which focuses on the experience of belonging and its profound impact on mental health, is both insightful and inspiring. Her approach to creating a clinician-centered practice with a flexible work environment and a focus on education is a model worth emulating.

Jorge Fernandez, an LCSW and private practice owner, joins me to discuss facing fears and embracing entrepreneurship in the mental health field.
3 key takeaways:
Face Your Fears Head-On: We delve into common fears therapists have about liability and financial stability when considering private practice. We emphasize the importance of betting on oneself and not allowing these fears to hold you back from building a fulfilling career.
Know Your Business Inside and Out: Whether it's understanding the nitty-gritty of billing or the broader aspects of business management, knowing every part of your practice is crucial before you can effectively delegate or outsource tasks.
Embrace Imperfection: As small business owners, it's easy to get bogged down by the desire for perfection. Jorge highlights the value in focusing on serving clients to the best of our ability and not being paralyzed by the minutiae of every decision.
Note from Jorge:
My parents both emigrated from Cuba as teenagers to flee from Fidel Castro’s rule. My father worked incredibly hard to ensure I had what I needed for my education, while my mother was present for every school event that needed a volunteer. They taught me the value of helping others and showing respect.
My career began in the Little Havana section of Miami in the late 1990s providing therapy to children and families in their homes in the exclusively immigrant population. I then moved to New York City, where I provided individual and group therapy to teenagers in two high schools. I later oversaw therapy with both families of teens abusing drugs and alcohol and families accused of abuse or neglect of their children. I also helped bring yoga classes for kids and Spanish-language parenting classes to these communities. I came to Connecticut in 2014 and, before private practice, ran one of only three programs in the state providing therapy inside the home for families of adolescents who were demonstrating inappropriate sexual behaviors.
I now run a solo private practice serving all of Connecticut through in-person and telehealth sessions with individuals and families. I also offer clinical supervision and coaching to therapists.
I have training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Salvador Minuchin Center for the Family, the Jewish Board of Family & Children’s Services’ Advanced Training Program, and problem sexual behavior training from MST Associates.

In this episode, Patrick Casale and Cameisha Brewer, a remarkable therapist, business coach, speaker, and author, delve into the world of private practice, therapy, and entrepreneurship.
Here are three key takeaways:
Prioritize self-care as a clinician: Owning a business not only grants you freedom but also allows you to prioritize your well-being. Remember, taking care of yourself is not a luxury—it's a necessity.
Embrace the business side of private practice: Understanding the entrepreneurial aspects of private practice is crucial for sustainability as a clinician. Don't shy away from the business aspects—they are just as important as the therapeutic ones.
Seek community and connection in entrepreneurship: Building a supportive community of like-minded professionals is essential in entrepreneurship. Find your tribe, engage in networking, and create a space where you can draw inspiration and support from your peers.

About Amanda:
Amanda K Buduris is a licensed psychologist and trauma therapist and a business and mindset coach for trauma therapists. Her work centers around helping those with a history of trauma deconstruct the thought viruses that tell them they aren’t enough or aren’t allowed to take up space.
As a first-gen woman of color, and often the youngest person in professional spaces, Amanda has worked to change her own relationship with self-doubt and imposter syndrome through her own therapy, getting into business coaching, and surrounding herself with other vulnerable and authentic entrepreneurs.
As a coach, Amanda values access to information, ease of experience, and representation. She runs a group coaching program to support other trauma therapists and therapists of color in their personal and professional goals, as well as has an accelerated group coaching program that teaches therapists about marketing, SEO, copywriting, adding therapy intensives to their practices, and overcoming mindset blocks to build practices that align with their needs and wants.
