Episode 34: Very Bad Therapists [featuring Ben Fineman & Carrie Wiite]

Very Bad Therapists. They exist. The profession makes mistakes.And we need to talk about it, hold ourselves accountable, and learn from our mistakes.I talk with Ben Fineman and Carrie Wiita, the co-hosts of the Very Bad Therapy Podcast about their own experiences launching a podcast about the unfortunate experiences that clients endure during therapy sessions.We talk about changes in the field, the necessity for continuous and ongoing training and supervision, and how to learn from mistakes that have an impact on the clients we serve.This may feel like a polarizing topic, but it's one that needs to be an ongoing conversation in the field.-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank The Receptionist for sponsoring this episode.Are you tired of running to the lobby to see if your next appointment has arrived?

Mentioned in this episode:Resilient Mind CounselingIt's Patrick. Some of you may know that I own a group therapy practice in North Carolina, Resilient Mind Counseling. We specialize in supporting the Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and Black, Brown, and Asian communities online and across North Carolina. We also have limited in-person openings at our offices in Asheville and Cary. We really love working with clients who are coming to terms with both Autism and ADHD discoveries later in life or questioning, as well as the intersections of race, gender, identity, and orientation. All of our therapists have lived experience and identify as AuDHD, Autistic, or ADHD. Our team of affirming therapists offers a safe, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and accessible space where you can show up exactly as you are—no masking, no judgment, and no need to make eye contact, just real connection and healing. We accept most commercial insurances like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Aetna, and Med Cost, as well as self-pay options. We currently have openings for new clients.
