The Beachfront Therapist is a space for mental health providers. We have honest conversations about what it means to be a therapist, and run a business, while trying to make space for our own happiness. This podcast, and the Facebook community, focus on all the ways we can make space for fun and joy in our lives and businesses. Topics include tips to make your practice or side hustle run smoother, systems and organization, creative ways to stave off burnout, finding joy in our profession, and current trends and concerns in the field.
