The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide: Where Therapists Live, Breathe, and Practice as Human Beings It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when clinicians must develop a personal brand to market their private practices, and are connecting over social media, engaging in social activism, pushing back against mental health stigma, and facing a whole new style of entrepreneurship. To support you as a whole person, a business owner, and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

Thank you for the great podcast! It has been vital to my learning after graduate school. I appreciate you sharing real world experiences and advocacy work for therapists to earn a living wage and take care of themselves. Love the banter and laughing and sense of humor too!
In a sea of spaces that place talking points and agendas over people and impact, Curt and Katie got it right about the antisemitism and anti-Palestinian experiences of therapists in these communities. They covered both lived experiences so well, and showed that one does not erase or obscure the other. Well, done. Truly.
I have been listening to The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide for a few years since I started my small practice. I have generally found their podcasts to be insightful, educational, and a great free resource. I am surprised by some of the negative reviews. I will say that most PP therapists will find this podcast interesting and educational. I have enjoyed about 95% of all the podcasts I’ve listened to. I have found a couple unhelpful but that is just me. I really appreciate the topics covered here and would recommend this podcast to all of my therapist friends!
As a relatively new therapist, I’ve learned so much from this show. I appreciate how open-ended Curt and Katie are and how they touch on important modern topics for all mental health professionals. Their vulnerability and humor add to every conversation. I look forward to new episodes!
