  • Great therapist resource

    I found Gordon’s podcast a number of years ago when I started working in private practice. His show is such a great combination of business and clinical insights wrapped in compassion and encouragement. Which all stems from who he is as a person. Listening to this show is time well spent.

How to Make Therapy More Culturally Responsive | Dr. Phebe Brako | TPOT 434
Q: Can you give us some examples of ways in which we can augment or change some of our theories?
Dr. Brako explains that therapists should adjust constructs like family systems, attachment, and interventions by considering collectivist values, community decision-making, and the client's religion or spirituality. She emphasizes curiosity, direct discussion of cultural context, and using concrete, culturally relevant examples instead of relying on Western-centric scenarios.
Why A Lot of Therapists Struggle in Private Practice | Katie Piura | TPOT 430

Why A Lot of Therapists Struggle in Private Practice | Katie Piura | TPOT 430

Are Superbills Worth It in Private Practice? | Mark Florian | TPOT 428
Q: Tell us your thoughts on all of that.

Helping Clients Navigate Digital Overwhelm in Private Practice | Eli Singer | TPOT 425
Q: So, can you give us an overview of the Offline.now methodology and how it works in practice?
The two-by-two matrix of motivation and confidence places people into four types—ready, stuck, overwhelmed, and unconcerned—allowing therapists to start with a simple, non-judgmental dialogue, then tailor strategies to move clients toward more desirable outcomes, while leveraging the therapist's preferred methods.
