Conquering Your Fears of the Subpoena Process with Nicol May 23, 2022

Show notes

Nicol works as an LCSW, a subject matter expert, and an expert witness in the United States.

Most therapists don't feel comfortable talking about subpoenas because there is so much anxiety attached. Nicol encourages us to embrace discomfort and take steps rather than let fear drive us. In this episode, she offers advice on avoiding common mistakes therapists make, how to prepare before getting a subpoena, and taking action if you receive a subpoena.

Learn even more about the subpoena process in zynnyme's FREE training, Master Your Private Practice Subpoena Process, on June 8, where Nicol will go into depth on creating your court policy and consent, and ensure that you are paid for your time if you do go to court.

Staying Busy and Successful in Practice with Margaret May 09, 2022

Show notes

Margaret, a neuropsychologist in Glendale, dreamed of being a "brain doctor". Dealing with psychological evaluations and trauma patients, she feels she accomplished her goal. Her company consists of four employees, each varying in specialization. Her practice provides aid with health issues, immigration issues, career counselling, and trauma.

Similar to her practice, Margaret is a unique case where she thrives with heavy caseloads. She feels it stemmed from her upbringing working in a pharmacy where she learned how to run a business. When she isn't dealing with her practice, she works in court evaluations and teaches. Margaret acknowledges it's not a suitable model for others but still offers valuable advice. Transparency is vital for her practice to run efficiently. She also urges to work in what you love and feel comfortable doing.
