  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Superbills Worth It in Private Practice? | Mark Florian | TPOT 428
Q: Tell us your thoughts on all of that.
Mark explains the limitations of the traditional super bill approach and argues for a more practitioner-friendly system that guarantees payment by managing payer relationships and client deductibles, which can help keep clients in therapy and reduce administrative burdens for therapists.
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.
Treating Neuroplastic Pain in Therapy and Private Practice | Dr. Melissa Tiessen | TPOT 419
Q: What do typical interventions look like?
Interventions include approaches like pain reprocessing therapy and emotional awareness and expression therapy, focusing on helping individuals relate differently to their symptoms and feelings.
Treating Neuroplastic Pain in Therapy and Private Practice | Dr. Melissa Tiessen | TPOT 419
Q: Can you kind of describe for everybody how it presents itself?
Neuroplastic pain can present in ways that change throughout the day, trigger intense reactions to innocuous stimuli, and can often be difficult to link to physical injuries or structural issues.
Diversifying a Private Practice Through Couples Work | Erin Valente | TPOT 418
Q: What would you say to therapists who shy away from doing couples work?
Couples therapy offers deeper emotional work and true vulnerability that individual therapy cannot provide; it's where significant change occurs.
