As therapists, we all want to feel that we are helping others and feel secure in our own lives. Especially during a pandemic.
As highly trained, trauma-informed therapists, our mission is to guide our clients in developing secure attachment and healthy relationships. Alongside them, we...
Today, we’re talking money.
And, believe me, I know that this is a hard thing for many therapists to talk about. I’ve had to work through my own stuff with this, coached many consultees, and now, I'm here to offer you some insight on the frameworks that we traditionally use to...
Y’all, I am so thankful for the Zero Disturbance community! It’s been almost two years since I began this journey and I truly have you to thank.
Since the start of Zero Disturbance, we’ve created digital kits and workbooks, The Consultation Program, and, as of a few short...
Anyone else crying this week as your kids start school? My kindergarteners need me less because they're growing, as they should. It's a normal part of life. And this will continue as they keep growing into who they're meant to be. This is how I know that I'm doing my job.

I hope that all of you have taken the time to enjoy this summer. I know that I have. My family and I have taken advantage of our post pandemic summer to the fullest and the twins learned to boogie board in the ocean.
And while we’re all enjoying the longer days and warmer temps, we all know...
I opened up my laptop the other day and ended up in one of the many private practice Facebook groups. I stumbled across a post I’d seen 1,000 versions of before. And it went something like this...
“I’m an exhausted parent and I don’t know how to fit my client schedule into...
When we talk about wealth, success and boundaries in our field, it can feel like a controversial topic. And that's because, for therapists, tons of negative cognitions have been assigned to our financial accomplishments...
If we don’t accept insurance or our rates are “too...
When we finish EMDR basic training, we step into our practices without a clear sense of what’s next. So, we default to using the traditional mindsets of our field as the driving force behind how we design and run our private practice.
We keep our rates low and maintain a weekly...
One of the biggest mistakes I see with clinicians in private practice is forgetting that they are the CEO of their lives and businesses. In this week's video, we talk about how to remember who is (and who is NOT) the boss, and go over some common examples of when this gets really confusing (e.g....
Do you notice how everyone is asking the same question: "What do I do now?" Now that things are opening up, folks are vaccinated, clients need more therapy...
Most of us can't go back to the way it was because we do not have the lives we once had. Our clients are not the same, and we...
I'm not going to ask you think about all of the things that you had to say no to over the last 15 months. (It's painful to think about that, isn't it?)
As choices come back to us, my hope for you is that you will always choose yourself. Whether it's deciding what your private practice will look...
One of my favorite TV characters is the President on West Wing. His key phrase is "what's next?" as he moves forward, anchored in clear values and integrity when problem-solving. (He is absolutely a wise figure for me in my own EMDR work.)
No matter what we choose next or how we go...
