Coaching for Clinicians: How Therapists Can Use Coaching to Expand Their Services
Are you looking to expand the services you offer clients? Coaching, which is increasingly popular in our culture, is a good fit for those therapists looking for an alternative to the medical model of treatment and who prefer to utilize and focus on client insights, strengths, desires, and resources.
If you are a clinician who is solution-focused and likes using checklists, exercises, and self-assessment tools to help clients set goals, identify and overcome obstacles, do more, focus better, and produce results fast, adding coaching to the menu of services you provide in your practice may be the next step for you.
Because coaching doesn’t have the same stigma as therapy and focuses on improving a client’s performance of specific tasks or enhancing the quality of clients’ lives, today people are increasingly turning to coaching as an alternative to therapy. Coaching attracts people, especially men, who otherwise would not seek out a therapist’s services. This is good news for those clinicians who are interested in expanding their practice and client services. Why? It increases the number of potential clients available to you and adds another income stream to your practice.
This four hour workshop will help clinicians become familiar with how they can add coaching services to their practice of therapy. It will cover: developing a coaching mindset; how to tell the difference between coaching, therapy and consulting; defining a coaching specialty and niche that plays to your existing strengths; how to strategically approach the business and practice of coaching; attracting coaching clients; putting together your coaching agreements; setting and collecting your coaching fees; and legal and ethical issues. Find out how you can leverage the skills you already possess to coach clients effectively and increase your income and visibility.

“According to Virginia Satir (1988), the better the supervisor’s self esteem, communication ability, personal congruence, and role flexibility, the more likely the supervisory relationship will foster exploration, learning and development.”

A Personal Retrospective of the Family Therapy Field: Then and Now
James L. Framo
A few years ago, I was taken aback to read an article characterizing the work of Nathan Ackerman, Murray Bowen, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, and myself as "faintly Victorian." So when I started formulating ideas for this speech, I wondered what I could tell this audience in this so-called postmodern family therapy era of political awareness; gender, race, and class sensitivity; ethnic diversity; constructivism; and co-created stories. What could I say that would not seem irrelevant in this political climate? Are the founders of the field viewed as having gone the way of the horse-drawn carriage?
Those of you familiar with my work know that I believe in the healing and power of the past and that knowledge of history helps make sense of the present. So I invite you to accompany me on this journey.....More
The Top 10: Most Influential Therapists of the Past Quarter-Century
Richard Simon
Twenty five years ago, in 1982, the first issue of the Psychotherapy Networkerwas published. That same year, American Psychologist surveyed 800 members of the American Psychological Association to learn which theoretical clinical orientations they followed and which psychotherapists they believed to be the most influential in the field.
On the 25th anniversary of this magazine, it seemed appropriate to revisit these questions, take stock of our profession, and get a sense of how therapy has developed and changed over the years. So, we partnered with Dr. Joan Cook at Columbia University and her research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to find out ourselves, posing the question, "Over the last 25 years, which figures have most influenced your practice?" Respondents could list up to 10 different sources of influence if they wished. We also asked recipients for information about their own approach to treatment—what model or combination of models they used.....More
Photo Therapy Techniques in Counseling and Therapy
Most people keep photographs around, without ever pausing to really think about why. But, because personal snapshots permanently record important daily moments (and the associated emotions unconsciously embedded within them), they can serve as natural bridges for accessing, exploring, and communicating about feelings and memories (including deeply-buried or long-forgotten ones), along with any psychotherapeutic issues these....
