Esther Goldstein LCSW’s Post

Over the past several years, teletherapy has become more popular than ever before. And in removing the time, location, and space constraints of traditional in-person therapy, therapists have greater flexibility in the ways they serve their clients. This enhanced flexibility has helped to remove barriers to life-changing care. But it’s also brought about some new questions when it comes to setting appropriate boundaries with clients. With teletherapy, providers must prioritize setting and maintaining boundaries in new ways. Here are some of the steps Oludara Adeeyo, LCSW and provider at Rula, takes to set proper boundaries with her clients. How do you set boundaries with your clients? Let us know in the comments.

🔎 How long does a therapy journey typically last? There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The duration of therapy depends on individual needs, goals, and the complexity of the issues being addressed. After an initial assessment, therapists provide an estimate based on the objectives set together, but the path may evolve as new topics come up. The most important aspect is that the process is fully personalized and always adjusted in agreement with you. At Therapsy, our sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring flexibility and support throughout your journey. 🌿 ✨ Start with a free assessment call today: www.therapsy.it #MentalHealthSupport #PersonalGrowth #TherapyJourney #WellbeingAtWork #Therapsy #MentalHealthAwareness

Therapists, especially those who are clinical supervisors for BIPOC and neurodivergent superviees... if you aren't checking in with how code-switching or masking impacts your clinical supervisees' clinical decision-making, power dynamics, expectations, and overall presence with clients in session--this is your sign! 😉 #mentalhealth #mentalhealtheducation #clinicalsupervision #bipocmentalhealth #bipoctherapists #neurodivergenttherapists #multiculturalism #multiculturalcounseling #intersectionality #professionaldevelopment

The stigmas around #borderline personality disorder are strong! As an advocate for the #trauma-informed movement I want to highlight this post that triggered me. Statements like these perpetuate stigmas. All human beings can be difficult to deal with. I worked in retail pharmacy for over 13 years and some of the most adversarial interactions I've had were with non-BPD patients. When you move towards having increased capacity and self-awareness I'm sure you will start to see your own borderline and narcissistic processes arise at times. This statement below seems to be blaming the “borderline” patient. Each person plays a role in a relationship dynamic. Maybe psychotherapists need to shift their approach with these patients. Perhaps, the adversarial courtroom experience has to do with how they are relating to the patient. I don't mean to invalidate this experience, however... I believe the borderline diagnosis is not necessarily accurate, that BPD is a process, and that most of these patients have developmental trauma leading to a disorganized self that results in maladaptive behavior patterns and thinking (symptoms). For those interested in learning about personality disorders and mental health disorders, I highly recommend reading about IFS (Internal Family Systems), SE (Somatic Experiencing) and NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model). IMO, CBT/DBT are becoming outdated ways of dealing with mental health disorders, especially those that are rooted in trauma. Have you read about the trauma-informed movement? Maybe, if psychotherapists shift their approach, perhaps these patients and the dynamic will also shift. We need mental health treatments rooted in empathy, curiosity, openness, and presence that are forward-thinking & client-driven.

Are you considering therapy but unsure whether to choose a private practitioner or an online platform like BetterHelp? As a qualified psychotherapist, I'd like to share some insights to help you make an informed decision. While online platforms offer convenience, private practice can provide unique benefits such as potentially lower rates, more flexible session options (including face-to-face), and a more personalised approach with free initial consultations. Private practitioners are also subject to strict professional standards, including limited weekly client hours and required clinical supervision. However, both options have their merits, and the best choice depends on your individual needs and circumstances.

The emotions and thoughts we try to run away from most often are the ones that are trying to communicate something that isn't sitting right within us. Exploration of these thoughts can be overwhelming but trying to replace them or ignore them only intensifies the level of their impact. Something that can be done in order to truly get what we want is building the resources to be able to feel what our body wants to feels. How can we do that? By observing what feels somewhat okay in that moment. By checking in with what our body and trying to understand what it needs. And by reflecting on how we can fulfil those needs in the most resourceful manner. ...

Therapists: you know those 10-15 minute consultations? We think they could be the key to a more efficient, effective, and fulfilling therapy practice. Many therapists view initial consultations as lost billable hours.  In reality, a well-executed consultation: ⌛Saves time. ✌ Reduces stress. 💔 Prevents the discomfort of realizing post-initial-session that there’s a client-therapist mismatch. Consultations should be full of empathy and clarity- after all, you’re engaging with someone vulnerable, seeking help. Start with an overview like, "Thank you so much for reaching out. This call is an opportunity for us to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your needs. First, let's start off with some logistics like your availability for sessions, the setting you prefer, and finances." Remember, you're laying the groundwork for successful therapy. You’re aligning therapeutic goals and logistics, leading to meaningful and effective sessions. And you’re building relationships that work for both you and your clients. Embrace these consultations. They're not just about filling your calendar; they're about enriching your practice and creating fulfilling therapeutic journeys. #TherapyConsultations #MentalHealth #TherapistInsights
