About The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide: Where Therapists Live, Breathe, and Practice as Human Beings It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when clinicians must develop a personal brand to market their private practices, and are connecting over social media, engaging in social activism, pushing back against mental health stigma, and facing a whole new style of entrepreneurship. To support you as a whole person, a business owner, and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And there are ways in which we can ask questions that invite people to think about gender a little bit differently. So for example, when I work with young people, there can be a lot of anxiety from parents that they no longer know their child, right? Because they are in this vast new landscape and they feel a little lost. And so sometimes I feel it's not out of malice, but the parents or caregivers just want to pull the child back into the landscape that is known to them, right? And so often as a family therapist, I feel like my job is to bridge that gap, to be like, you know, I get it. This is like, this is what you know. […]
