Beyond Burnout Prevention and Recovery
Creating optimal performance for therapists
Self-care is talked about all the time both in therapy sessions and discussions about therapists and their needs. We all know we should make it a priority, but what does this actually look like?
Finding yourself exhausted after a full day of clients and collapsing on the couch is not exactly what we’re looking for. (Although this happens from time to time!)
We’re searching for sustainable, consistent practices that we can realistically implement into our routine that are restorative and help us show up for our clients even better than before.
Curt Widhalm, LMFT and Katie Vernoy, LMFT provide an engaging and interactive discussion of best practices for creating a meaningful and sustainable career as a therapist.
More Than Cogs in the Machine
Bringing trauma-informed principles into the workplace
People affected by trauma are expected to perform in the workplace, but often have difficulty with environments that treat them as replaceable. This can lead to employee underperformance, burnout, and turnover in the workforce. Healthy interactions with the workplace can help both the individual and corporate performance. This workshop addresses principles and practices that allow for employers to create a trauma informed workplace.
The Brand
Called ‘’You’’
Legal and Ethical Issues in
Developing a Personal Brand
As a modern therapist, you can no longer just put out a shingle and have clients find you. You’ve probably heard that you need to find a niche, advertise online, and create a catchy elevator pitch for in-person networking. You must create a “personal brand.”
This can seem overwhelming, especially if you’re looking to make sure you’re following best practices – legally, ethically, and clinically.
How do you navigate personal branding?

What other’s have said about The Brand Called You:
“Many of us have been to legal and ethics workshops that get us overwhelmed and scared, and we end up doing nothing different. Some of us have been to marketing workshops that end with a long to-do list that never gets done. This workshop was not scary or overwhelming. Better than that, it was hands on. The branding exercises were done during the workshop, so I took away copy I can use. Curt and Katie are not only knowledgeable about law and marketing, but they know how to ask questions so that participants can come up with their own solutions.” – Ofra Obejas, LCSW
“Having taken multiple L&E Courses over the past 18 years, this one felt the most practical to my business and marketing efforts with the least amount of anxiety-producing content. Katie and Curt’s styles compliment each other with informative, humorous and sometimes disparate opinions on the same material that makes for a more engaging three-dimensional workshop. I left feeling a greater sense of direction for multiple ways to reach my ideal clientele by marketing with integrity. I highly recommend their workshop!” – James Guay, LMFT
