Rick and Monique Elgersma have for 30 years been partners in life and partners in business. Since 2015 they have been co-therapy specialists. They’ve experienced ups and downs like any couple and sought counseling. They noted the difficulty of both of them feeling heard, understood, and respected at the same time! Alas, Co-Therapy was born. Rick and Monique share the reason they have chosen to own a practice built using co-therapy, the practicalities like scheduling and billing and how to maintain a healthy work-life business when you are married and business partners. Counseling together with clients certainly creates balance in the counseling room and reduces bias. Co-Therapy makes certain that no one will get ganged up on or feel left out of the counseling process. And, Co-Therapy is more creative and collaborative, a true “round table” equality-driven effort in the counseling room. Three years ago they added the enneagram to their efforts for clients, and have since become enneagram experts and coaches.

Erin Coram, LMFT shares her professional and lived experience in helping survivors of intimate partner abuse/violence. Erin discusses misinformation, what to look for in the therapy room and the long-term impacts to health. Erin is a licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of a group practice in Indiana. Erin has been in practice for over 20 years beginning her career in Community Mental health, then becoming a clinical director of a residential facility community outreach for at-risk adolescents. Erin then launched her private practice Indiana Family Therapy Center, Inc. in 2008. In 2020, Erin teamed up with her business partner to open another group practice, Voyage Counseling, LLC. Erin also works with an adoption agency supervising the completion of home evaluations for adoption. In 2022, Erin launched Embrace for Impact, LLC where she provides coaching, consulting, community groups, retreats and speaking engagements. Embrace for Impact was born out of a passion for entrepreneurial healers and therapists with their own trauma stories. After a personal journey of owning her story of abuse and violence in her previous intimate relationship, she recognized the need for a place where healers can step out of the shame of secrecy of abuse and into the light of the strength within that it took to survive. During this journey, she also discovered the high correlation between trauma and chronic illness and the additional complexity of treatment needs when trauma meets physical illness or injury. As a type 1 diabetic who suffered extensive physical injury from assault requiring multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, she is passionate about educating our mental health and medical professionals about the complexity of working with victims/survivors of intimate partner violence and trauma. These patients require patience, humanity, authenticity, safety and agency at the highest level to reduce the risk of re-traumatization/revictimization through medical interventions. Erin empowers therapists to step into and own their stories and embrace their beautiful kaleidoscope of trauma and resilience to amplify their impact on the world. Being a therapist and a survivor of intimate partner violence does not make you a fraud or incompetent, it makes you human and capable of connecting in a very attuned way. Erin is a member of and a fierce advocate of the LGBTQ community. Erin is also a mother of two, a wife and a chronic illness warrior. Erin believes that it is through the owning and sharing of our own pain and healing journeys and the connections we make with others that we can have a profound impact on the world.

Chris 'Rhino' Swenson, LMFT and I discuss his philosophy of “Rhino Mentality” and how this creates resilience as therapists and entrepreneurs. Chris is a published author and mentality coach and shared his best tips for getting unstuck and to finally start and complete writing a book. Chris ‘Rhino’ Swenson is a loving husband, father to 3, and grandfather to 1! When he is not helping others become stronger, wiser, and more resilient (The Rhino Mentality) you will find him hanging out with family and friends; most likely jamming to some 80’s rock music while enjoying a tasty bourbon! Not only is he a therapist and practice owner, he is also an author, speaker, mindset coach, therapist, and life philosopher. He has gone from living a life that was controlled by different fears, self-doubt, and anxieties to now living the Rhino Mentality philosophy of life; which has transformed his life immensely! He seeks to teach and help awaken the Rhino within others so they too can live with confidence, strength, wisdom, and resiliency while being calm, relaxed, and having fun!

Lisa Duez, LCSW, CSAC, EMDR Therapist and Approved Consultant and I help you understand the nuance of differential diagnosis with Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Complex PTSD. It is tough as a clinician to distinguish between these differing diagnoses sometimes. Lisa and I have years of experience and we are sharing what you need to understand to diagnose accurately. While most of us do not enjoy diagnosing, it is very important to understand what diagnoses we are treating so our clients can receive the very best and most appropriate care. The underlying causes for the symptoms our clients are experiencing often have very different treatment requirements so getting it right matters. Lisa and I are here to help!

Episode 29: Psychotherapeutic Touch & Psychedelic Integration Therapy featuring Sabrina Santa Clara 34:57

Sabrina Santa Clara, LPC, R-DMT, CIFST, CPIT, RYT and I discuss the importance of training regarding touch in therapy. Touch can be so healing yet we receive little to no training on how to integrate physical touch in healthy and appropriate ways and how to document these interactions. Sabrina also discusses the healing power of Psychedelic Integration Therapy. Sabrina Santa Clara is a licensed Colorado Counselor and somatic psychotherapist, though she works internationally as an educator, trauma-informed transpersonal coach and spiritual midwife. She was a massage therapist for many years and earned her Master’s in Somatic Counseling Psychology from the Buddhist-influenced Naropa University. The dearth of touch training in her program led her to design her course on the Ethics and Fundamentals of Psychotherapeutic Touch™, a comprehensive Certification training on the use of Touch in Therapy. Sabrina is also a psychedelic integration therapist and has designed a training in Self Psychedelic Integration™ which she will be offering for the first time in London this summer. Self Psychedelic Integration combines Internal Family Systems, Harm Reduction Psychedelic Integration, somatic psychology, Creative and Expressive Arts and neo-shamanistic ritual. While this training is helpful for both clinicians and psychedelic sitters, it is aimed at making integration tools available to the solitary medicine journeyer. Sabrina is kicker of boxes and breaker of meaningless rules, and a staunch advocate for adherence to rules rooted in sanity, care and high ethical standards. She is a bicultural, bilingual, gender-fluid, artist, poet and dancer who lives in the in-between spaces. She has an affinity for working with therapists and coaches, spiritual seekers, and people who experience themselves as “outside the norm.” OFFERS & HELPFUL LINKS: Sabrina’s website Free E-book "16 Skill to Help You Calm Down: Moving from freaked-out to Chilled-out” Counseling Community TikTok Jennifer Agee coaching page Counseling Community Facebook community Counseling Community Instagram Alaskan Cruise : Experiential Therapeutic Intervention Training for Therapists June 3-10, 2023 Portugal Marketing Retreat October 2-7, 2023…
