Therapists Rising Podcast

Welcome to the Therapists Rising Podcast, where we share real, raw, and behind-the-scenes stories and lessons from Therapists who are thinking outside the traditional clinical box and choosing to do things differently in their careers.

If you’re ready to be inspired and take action on your dreams, t
