It’s To Become More Present
The goal isn’t to become a perfect clinician
A lot of clinicians were trying to do things “the right way.”
- Following what they were taught
- Trying to apply techniques correctly
- Working hard to not mess anything up
They lost a sense of how to actually be with the person in front of them.
And I started to notice something
I spent years doing the work
- Sitting with clients
- Supervising clinicians
- Leading teams
- Trying to navigate situations that didn’t have clear answers
So they compensate
How you respond
It’s about how you think
How you stay present in moments that are uncomfortable
Clinical work is not just about what you know
That’s not something most people are explicitly taught
They question themselves after the fact
They overthink
They rely on scripts
My work is about helping clinicians come back to a more grounded way of practicing
More clear
More present
More human
Not more skilled
Not more thoughtful
I’m the Executive Director at Third Wave Psychotherapy, where I help guide clinical standards, supervision, and clinician development across the practice.
I’ve spent more than 15 years working across different settings and supporting clinicians at all stages of their careers.
Everything I teach comes directly from that work.
It’s also the same approach we use to develop clinicians across Third Wave.
