Build a therapy career that
you'll fall in love with.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a therapist! I love helping people, and love creating meaningful change with my clients and their loved ones. At the end of the day, I truly couldn't see myself doing anything else.
What happened is this... I specialized in teen therapy where I help other people's children, and this was all good... until I had a child of my own! I suddenly felt the need to diversify my work load and create other income streams for my family rather than do one-on-one client work for the rest of my life. During maternity leave, I started to feel pulled to create content for other therapists like myself who are looking diversify their case load and create a life that they'll fall in love with.
My Therapy Life aims to create content for novice therapists who are still in graduate school (go you!) all the way to seasoned therapists who are looking to expand their practice beyond one-on-one work and direct client services.
Burn out is a real thing in the mental health industry, and it has a funny way of silently sneaking up on us. We're really good about reminding our clients to take care of themselves while we slowly wither away ourselves. Because of the reality of burn out, it's extremely important to take care of ourselves as clinicians. However, we get caught in the cycle of needing to pay our bills, our rent, all the things that don't come for free in life. For most of us, it's simply impossible to just walk away from the work to take care of ourselves, and this is where I find many people stay stuck. My goal is to help you find small, meaningful changes that you can start doing NOW on your own timeline that will help you get to where you want to be.
I hope you find something on this website that helps get you one step closer to where you ultimately want to be, even if you don't know where that is yet (& that's okay!). You've worked too hard to get to where you are today. Don't let burnout stop you from making the world a better place through therapy. The way in which you make the world better doesn't have to be solely through direct client services. Explore this website and the My Therapy Life Youtube Channel to find helpful content that gets your gears turning about what other ways you feel called to serve the world.
