Is JIMMY in a wig??

This is our "Let's Yak" format, where each section is designed to provide you with valuable insights and support as you manage your practice. "Let's Yak" stands for Learn, Encourage, Training, Services, Yearn to Earn, Action, and Kommunity Events—seven key areas that we believe are essential for running a successful practice. Each week, we'll share expert advice, motivational stories, training opportunities, and practical tips tailored to help you grow both personally and professionally.

L - Learn

Have you heard of Relationships with Jimmy?!

Jimmy is just a guy, not a therapist, not a counselor. But he is amazingly creative and unashamed enough to put on the wig!

Instagram has emerged as a vibrant hub for mental health awareness and support. Therapists, advocates, and wellness influencers are using the platform to share valuable insights, coping strategies, and personal stories that break the stigma around mental health.

With bite-sized content like infographics, videos, and real-life reflections, Instagram offers an accessible and engaging way to learn about mental wellness. Whether you're looking for daily affirmations, expert tips, or a supportive community, Instagram provides a unique space for connection and growth on your mental health journey.

E - Encourage

T - Training

Today’s training is more of a seminar from The Embody Lab - a training group that aims to make embodiment, somatics, and trauma healing accessible to a broad, global audience— making it easier to access support, resources, and education for all who are on their individual well-being journey or as a practitioner refining their tools for transformation.

We aim to create a safer and supportive collective space for inspiration and learning from world-renowned teachers as they provide training and certifications to meet personal and professional goals.

The seminar is called Anxiety Rx: An Intimate Conversation with Author Dr. Russell Kennedy which is a free event on October 28th at 12 PM CST time.

The book he will be discussing can be purchased from Amazon.

S - Services

Patient Feedback - The Yak wants to help you get feedback from your patients.

How helpful would anonymous feedback from your patients help you? Maybe not feedback about your clothes or hair or style? But how about how they used the skills you taught?

Or how they felt immediately after they left the session? How did they put it all back together when they left the couch?

All anonymous…that would be awesome!

Check it out at the YAK!

Y - Yearn to Earn

Simple Practice - Keeping track of your practice’s financial health is crucial, and Simple Practice makes it easy. With built-in revenue tracking, you can monitor your earnings, track payments, and generate financial reports with just a few clicks.
