Antics of The Speech Chick

This episode is about my thoughts and concerns as I head back to face to face therapy starting next week.  The world has changed since I turned into a teletherapist in April.  While I realize my decision may be a controversial one, I will not tolerate negative comments on either this podcast episode or any social media associated with it.  Texas has started the process of opening back up.  I will have masks to provide a safety layer for me and my client.  As much research and conversations with health care professionals in my area, I have decided it is at least worth a try to get back to some normalcy!

Girl, I see you!  Teletherapy is not your jam but you're plugging away.  You are giving your best and it still doesn't feel like enough.  I feel you because I am in your same shoes, hon!  But today, I am sharing 6 tips to ease the frustration and mental negativity.  They have helped me tremendously through this entire situation.  I am hoping they can help you too!

The last 6-7 weeks have been tough for classroom teachers, SLPs, parents...let's go ahead and include ANYONE working with children!  I have had my ups and downs...more ups than downs.  But it has been a tough time and I am missing my clients!  I miss actually driving up to their house/daycare, unloading my stuff, ringing the doorbell and going into their house.  Strange, I know.  But COVID-19 has given me the opportunity to try some new things and stray from my "normalcy."  So here are my 6 confessions on turning to a teletherapist.

In this episode, I am sharing my journey to becoming a private practice SLP.  Hear how it all started back in 2010!
