Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast!

Join Jennifer & Courtney Vickery, CEO of Declet Designs, as they discuss the importance of implementing effective systems in business. They share how systems have revolutionized their business operations and leadership roles.

Join the conversation as they discuss:

Rest & Reflection in Business: Many professionals who pursue a career in private practice face burnout at some point. It’s important to take a step back to avoid burnout. Systems are essential for being able to COAST in business to maintain long-term success.
The Evolution of Systems in Pursuing Private Practice: Pursuing Private Practice began with no systems in place. Now, we use project management tools such as Trello and Asana to leverage systems to meet our overarching business goals.
Adjusting for Different Learning Styles: Individuals on your team might have different learning styles. Being able to accommodate various learning styles to ensure effective communication and seamless execution is game-changing.
The Impact of Systems on Business Growth: When you have systems in place that align with your business goals and meet your team’s communication needs, business growth can start to happen.
Leveraging Visual & Auditory Communication: People learn differently, and using different visual and auditory systems can be extremely effective. Some people like things typed out, some learn best from videos, and others just need to hear it out loud.

We hope this encourages you to ask yourself, “How are the systems I have in place allowing me to take up space in business?” and “How can I make them better?” Systems can help you become the business owner you were meant to be.

Balancing Freedom and Responsibility: The podcast dives into the balance of freedom in both small and large practices—how more freedom can bring exciting opportunities but also new responsibilities.

How To Improve Your Counseling and Retain More Clients 44:17

10 weeks ago44:17

44:17

Welcome to the Pursuing Private Practice podcast! Join Jennifer McGurk, the CEO of Pursuing Private Practice, and Rachelle Heinemann , Therapist, Eating Disorder Expert, & Confidence Coach to talk about what dietitians need to know about counseling in private practice. The heart of a successful private practice isn’t just about providing nutrition education—it’s about building strong, supportive therapeutic relationships that truly help clients heal. In this episode, we dive into what makes counseling different from education, why setting boundaries is crucial for both you and your clients, and how to navigate client ambivalence. This episode will give you key takeaways to transform your counseling strategies, create better connections with your clients, and ultimately improve retention in your private practice. The Therapeutic Relationship: A therapeutic relationship is about creating a safe space where clients feel comfortable exploring their challenges, while the provider maintains professional boundaries and understands personal biases. Counseling vs. Education: Counseling goes beyond simply providing information, as it requires understanding how clients receive and interpret that information, as well as addressing any resistance they may have. Counseling Tips for Dietitians: A key tip for dietitians is recognizing that not all clients are fully invested in the counseling process, and acknowledging their ambivalence can help nurture a more effective and supportive relationship. Boundaries in Counseling: Setting clear and consistent boundaries is essential, not only for preventing burnout in providers but also for creating a structured environment that supports clients' personal growth and accountability. Timestamps: 03:30 Private Practice Journey: Rachelle shares how her work evolved from one-on-one therapy to podcasting to speaking and becoming a leader in her community. 05:54 Counseling and Business Success: Discussion on how strong counseling skills are essential for building a thriving private practice. 08:30 Counseling vs. Education: Rachelle explains the difference, stressing the need to understand clients' experiences and resistance to make changes. 12:18 Creating a Safe Space: The importance of acknowledging clients' ambivalence and providing a safe environment for expression. 16:13 Naming Client Feelings: Discussion on the importance of naming clients' emotions while avoiding assumptions. 23:45 Importance of Boundaries: The necessity of boundaries for both clinician well-being and client healing. 30:39 Defining Good Work: Discussion on the qualities of good counseling, including attentiveness and being human. 34:16 Tolerating Discomfort: Exploring the importance of helping clients develop resilience in uncomfortable situations. 37:10 Holding Space for Clients: Rachelle reflects on pivotal moments in counseling and the value of holding space rather than fixing problems. 39:10 Advice for Dietitians: Rachelle shares the importance of cross-education, supervision, and therapy for enhancing counseling skills. Rachelle Heinemann is a speaker and eating disorder educator. She provides trainings for providers about eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, and effective therapy practice. She is the host of the podcast Understanding Disordered Eating. Rachelle is also a licensed mental health counselor (NY), licensed professional counselor (NJ), and certified eating disorder specialist (CEDS) in private practice.
