How I Approach Treatment Planning as a Therapist
Let's dive into treatment planning, shall we? ;) Somehow I haven't made an episode about treatment planning in the 6+ years of making private practice content. It's time! In this episode, I share some more nuanced thoughts beyond the typical assessment tools and SMART goals that we usually learn about when talking about treatment planning. I hope some of you find this useful. Keep in mind that I'm just sharing how I approach treatment planning. There are many valid approaches out there, this is just how I do it :) There's just one longer, rambly, chill version of the episode this week. You can expect more of my usual tidy, shortened versions next week! Sign up for TherapyNotes and get two months FREE: https://www.therapynotes.com/r/privat...
