Therapy Insights Podcast

Apply to be a guest

The Therapy Insights Podcast offers tools and insights for SLPs, PTs/PTAs, and OTs/COTAs working with patients who are experiencing some of the most difficult medical challenges of their lives. In a poll of an interdisciplinary SLP/OT/PT Facebook forum, only about 30% of clinicians reported that they were provided with the opportunity to take a graduate level class focused on counseling techniques to address grief, trauma, and major life transitions.

Our goals for this podcast:

  • Broaden the scope of understanding by SLPs, PTs, PTAS, OTs, and COTAs of current best practices within the counseling community in order to optimize and strengthen the medical field as a whole when it comes to rehabilitation and mental health.
  • Encourage and promote specific strategies on how to improve access to professional mental health services within medical communities, including those that are rural, understaffed, or working within a system that has not yet embraced access to mental health services.
  • Address specific questions and scenarios as presented by members of the Therapy Insights community.
