Today’s guest caught my attention when I got word about an experiential workshop she was hosting for therapists in our area. When I looked into it, I was struck by the way she’s grown her practice - managing to combine her skills and experience in a VERY creative way.
I’m speaking with Julie Jerrolds, an LPC Supervisor and EMDR-certified therapist from the beautiful Seymour, Tennessee - right up the road from me. :) Julie is the visionary founder of Open Reins Counseling, where she provides her clients with a combination of equine-assisted therapy and EMDR.
In this inspiring conversation, you’ll hear how Julie’s built a thriving, unique practice that truly embodies her passions, blending deep clinical skill with the healing power of nature and horses.
You’re also going to learn:
- The first step to take when starting out in a new niche (and why you’re probably more ready than you think).
- Why your practice has to evolve over time, and how to know that you’re evolving in the right direction.
- Why healers need to experience healing too – and what an impact that will have on your own practice going forward.
- A beautiful ritual Julie uses to draw a line under her day and disconnect from work at the end of it.
Y’all, there is a lesson here for all of us … There is so much more that we can do as therapists than just sit in a room and talk with someone once a week.
I have always been a huge fan of experiential work. I also love seeing a therapist who finds creative ways to expand what she’s already offering. Julie has shown us a power example of what’s possible here.
Imagine what could happen if you gave yourself permission to think outside of the box. To dream bigger. To think differently. To find a way to combine one or more of your passions and serve your clients deeply in the process.
Would that be FUN?
Well, here’s the really fun part … it’s your business, and you get to design it any way you want. So - why not play with that a bit? ;)
Just ask Julie!
