  • Great content and convenient continuing ed!

    These courses are thoughtfully put together and a pleasure to listen to. They typically leave me with great food for thought. I am also grateful to be able to complete continuing education in a convenient way, and my dog likes it too because she gets long walks while I am listening :)

  • The best CE podcast for therapists!

    This podcast is my go-to when I need to get CEs but don’t have a ton of time. Beth is an incredible interviewer and host, and the topics that are picked are always incredibly interesting to me. She handles complex topics with grace and humor and always seeks to promote the highest level of ethical consideration for whatever is at hand.

Supporting Hispanic and Latino/x/e Clients in a Climate of Fear, Ep. 274
Q: What would you like listeners to take away at the end?
Feel empowered to connect authentically, recognizing the therapist's humanity and the client's dignity, and to choose actions that foster safe, supportive relationships and communities.
Supporting Hispanic and Latino/x/e Clients in a Climate of Fear, Ep. 274
Q: What resources do you recommend clinically, and what can listeners do beyond the clinic?
Clinically, prioritize individualized care, cultural humility, and space for dialogue; practically, expand community resources, prepare families with plans, and collaborate with clients to identify actionable steps outside sessions.
Supporting Hispanic and Latino/x/e Clients in a Climate of Fear, Ep. 274
Q: Why is this conversation happening now?
It's rooted in the immediate, lived experiences of fear within immigrant and Latino communities, and the need for clinicians to understand how policy and enforcement shape daily life and mental health.
Psycho-Oncology: Supporting Mental Health Across the Cancer Journey, Ep. 273
Q: The field of psycho-oncology, can you explain really what it is, when it started and what its scope is?
Psycho-oncology originated in the 1970s with Dr. Jimmy Holland, integrating biopsychosocial factors into cancer care, studying both how cancer affects mental health and how psychological factors influence cancer outcomes; it spans patient and family mental health as well as how psychological and social factors can affect cancer incidence and treatment outcomes.
When Work Stops Working: Helping Clients Navigate Mental Health Leave, Ep. 270
Q: How can therapists support clients seeking a mental health leave without overstepping professional boundaries?
Therapists can provide documentation only if they are involved in ongoing care and within their scope of practice; they should avoid rendering incapacity or making determinations beyond DSM criteria, and should ensure confidentiality and privacy while recognizing workplace acceptance varies by employer.
