In this podcast episode we talk about how therapists can best work within treatment teams
Clients are often best served by a robust treatment team. Specific diagnoses (like Eating Disorders or Serious Mental Illness) require treatment teaming as a best practice and many others are best served when you are collaborating with the other health and wellness professionals in your clients’ lives. Creating and working within treatment teams in private practice creates a unique challenge. How do you find these professionals and how do you best work with them? The meetings in the hall in treatment centers and agencies can’t happen when you’re at your own office or working virtually. What can modern therapists do? This episode will explore the importance of treatment teams, how to identify who belongs on your treatment teams, and the essential networking skills to create these important relationships.
We answer the following questions:
What do treatment teams look like in private practice?
What are the benefits of treatment teams, especially for lower acuity cases?
How can therapists create treatment teams when they are in private practice?
How do therapists vet the people they are meeting with?
What are the qualities of strong treatment teams?
How can therapists collaborate effectively with other professionals in private practice?
