Beach Commute is vital!Modern Therapist Survival Guide is vital!Thank you for the great podcast! It has been vital to my learning after graduate school. I appreciate you sharing real world experiences and advocacy work for therapists to earn a living wage and take care of themselves. Love the banter and laughing and sense of humor too!
-
KiwiWithUmbrellaSuperb.In a sea of spaces that place talking points and agendas over people and impact, Curt and Katie got it right about the antisemitism and anti-Palestinian experiences of therapists in these communities. They covered both lived experiences so well, and showed that one does not erase or obscure the other. Well, done. Truly.
-
SmfishResourceful podcastI have been listening to The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide for a few years since I started my small practice. I have generally found their podcasts to be insightful, educational, and a great free resource. I am surprised by some of the negative reviews. I will say that most PP therapists will find this podcast interesting and educational. I have enjoyed about 95% of all the podcasts I’ve listened to. I have found a couple unhelpful but that is just me. I really appreciate the topics covered here and would recommend this podcast to all of my therapist friends!
-
JCunningham24Great podcastAs a independent practitioner, it’s helpful to hear perspectives and conversations on current/modern issues and situations. Grateful for this podcast
-
Tara MontSo helpful as a new therapist!!As a relatively new therapist, I’ve learned so much from this show. I appreciate how open-ended Curt and Katie are and how they touch on important modern topics for all mental health professionals. Their vulnerability and humor add to every conversation. I look forward to new episodes!
-
CAKCCTHGreat resourceThis podcast is full of real life details that every mental health clinician would benefit from listening.
-
Aim5055Great for studentsAs a nascent student in Masters of Counseling desiring to become a competent colleague, I find this podcast educational, informative, challenging, and enjoyable. It's a favorite workout background! Beyond the books and syllabus are the carefully curated real-world experiences that bring balance and nuance to practicing. I find their attitude, expertise, humor, and sensitivity as professionals to professionals refreshing. Thanks for producing this content!
-
PODDoisseurEnjoyableI really enjoy listening to this podcast! The hosts are not only knowledgeable and insightful, but also entertaining. I appreciate the way they approach psychological topics with an openness, making the subject matter both engaging and accessible to the professionals and regular people who also tune in. Curt has a particularly interesting sense of humor that always manages to make me smile. I read a review that misunderstood Curt’s tone as condescending. I have found that often people who are not very intelligent mistaken sharp wit and humor as condescending 🤷♂️. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in psychology and looking for an informative listen.
-
algramsFrustrated by condescensionI used to love this podcast and still think there is really good information here, but I am increasingly bothered by Curt’s tone/approach at times. I get the sarcasm, but it often feels condescending to Katie and to the audience. There’s a way to be instructive without talking down to us.
-
lospellsloveGlad I found this!I’m a seasoned therapist and I’ve really enjoyed the episodes I’ve heard (social media and supervision especially!) since I found this podcast! I will say that I’m sometimes uncomfortable with the tone Curt uses with Katie- it can sound demeaning, sometimes by putting words in her mouth or by talking over her. This might be a banter the two hosts have developed off air; I think I’d enjoy the flow even more without it.
-
Vitaliya McElveenImpostor syndrome episodeGreat topics however I am giving this podcast only 3 stars... bc the episode about the impostor syndrome was super important to me … but it felt like podcasters were constantly laughing at the struggles of people who deal with it :( Perhaps it would be a great idea to be more sensitive to consider listener's feelings.
-
w@@tI enjoy this podcastI really love the diverse topics and thoughtful commentary!
-
CapeElizRunnerGreat podcast for therapistsGreat podcast for therapists at any stage in their career! Compelling topics and guests. Great cohosts who live the modern therapist experience and tell about it!
-
megangunnellDeep diveIf you’re searching for a podcast with brilliant hosts who ask thought provoking questions and aren’t afraid to take a deep dive into sometimes controversial and complex topics, this is it!
-
NeMo0328Amazing influence on my practice!I’ve been following Curt and Katie for years and have put A LOT of their advice into building my practice. Their stuff is solid!
-
tswizzly22Doesn’t grab your attentionAlright topics but when it comes down to it the podcast is awfully slow with the monotone voices and the boring script that never seems to have a twist to it, just feels like the same type of episode each time. Not the type of podcast to bring you back for more
-
Seth15994267Amazing intro to the fieldAs someone currently in grad school for counseling, it has been so informative and helpful to hear Curt and Katie’s discussions about the things that often aren’t mentioned in the classroom. Thank you for galvanizing therapists-to-be with the knowledge required to keep improving this field!
-
Locolauren9190Always learning somethingI'm not a therapist or in that world but I look forward to this podcast every Monday. Just like all media, I use it as one perspective - taking and leaving what I find helpful or interesting. Overall I enjoy that they make me think about subjects which I otherwise would not think on.
-
Rika StarNothing modern about itThis podcast may be fine if you only serve clients who are cisgender and white, but the hosts have enormous blind spots such that they don’t ask their guests questions when they say things that are harmful to people of marginalized identities. The DSM V episode was especially hard to stomach.
-
ChrisfromNCLove this podcast!I have been a long term listener and feel so connected with the energy Katie and Kurt bring. They bring up sometimes difficult and controversial topics with grace. I also love how they have such a wide variety of guests and topics not found elsewhere. I even used the episode When Clients have to manage their Therapist as a teaching tool with my Supervisees. Thanx for all u do and I look forward to more amazing content!
-
cats19932010Such a valuable podcastHonestly god bless this podcast. I first found out about the No Surprises Act and the DSM 5 updates from this podcast. Such a great resource for therapists.
-
Rachem615Educational and fun!This is a great podcast for therapists trying to learn and stay on top of their game as well as enjoy listening to fun but educational banter and topics!
-
allyinez1992Love this podcast!Love this podcast! As a therapist in private practice, I find these conversations super validating and humanizing. Our field is changing so much, and it’s great to hear this being talked about. I also love the feeling of camaraderie I get when listening, as PP can be so lonely at times!
-
vinyldashDisappointedJust finished the episode on firing your clients & while I generally find this podcast interesting & helpful (thus the 3 stars), I’m often disappointed by the lack of including what (to me) are obvious, tho more nuanced issues in the discussions (in many of the episodes). In the case of firing your client, the only issues that were discussed were when therapists feel unsafe or threatened. As a private practice therapist, the far more common scenario where I have to consider premature termination comes from clients (usually with BPD traits) doing what they call in DBT “therapy interfering behaviors” or just repeated boundary violations (after addressing them in session & attempting to help the client gain awareness about these behaviors outside of the therapy relationship). These are far more nuanced situations, that don’t make me feel unsafe but do ultimately make it sometimes impossible to continue seeing the client, with clients who are often already struggling with abandonment issues & i’d have liked to have heard at least some mention of this in the podcast. Maybe another episode could address this issue on its own?
-
Halls GLOVE!I love this podcast and the hosts! It is a very refreshing and much needed take on counseling. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thinks like this :) I’m thankful that my graduate program taught me more in line with the hosts counseling philosophies- it truly does make a difference both in the counselor’s and client’s life!
-
Soraya10001Informative and enriching!I look forward to this podcast every week! As a therapist, this is a must listen to podcast because you learn so much and can really enrich the clinical work you are doing with clients. Highly recommend!
-
7annie4♥️ Marissa EsquibelThank you so much for having Marissa on to share her story! I am one of those therapists who have one foot on the bottom rung of the path to private practice. So grateful to hear Marissa’s experience. She is so authentic and truly insightful regarding her steps from community mental health. Very relatable and stands in her power.
-
MarciPHRQuarantine Self-Care for TherapistsJust listened to this episode during my morning walk in the sun. Another invaluable contribution to an issue that impacts us all. Thanks, Curt & Katie for the reminders to take care of ourselves, too. Katie: you are welcome to join us anytime at a San Diego North County CAMFT chapter event! Curt: Yes. You ARE funny.
-
Mari.jbpLife-Changing For TherapistsI’m OBSESSED with this podcast! I started listening in September 2018 and have been a loyal listener the past two years. THIS PODCAST CHANGED MY CAREER TRAJECTORY. I was able to start my journey into private practice years before I would have had I not listened. I resonated with podcasts about the burnout cycle, toxic work environments, and compassion fatigue then was able to get out of the grind that is community mental health. This podcast is thought provoking and demands that I think critically about myself as a clinician, a client, and advocate in the mental health community. Attended the conference in 2019 and looking forward to 2020!
-
RLLombardiGrowth OpportunitiesKatie & Curt do such a great job at talking about difficult topics related to therapy practice with the goal of inspiring their listeners to grow. I always feel like I walk away with some new from each episode.
-
Maria_R2A Home for TherapistsThis podcast provides much-needed consultation and support; a safe space that validates -- rather than judges -- therapists. I always learn something new and feel cared for so that I can be a better therapist.
-
JHFairfaxWhat I needThis is so helpful- they are real, challenging, and supportive. It’s a growth experience to listen.

Nicole BurgessRefreshing resourceLove how Katie and Curt keep things real. They have such great topics and so many of them are not taught in grad school!
-
lisa mustardAs real as it getsEvery time I listen I feel as though I’m sitting in a peer consultation group..getting exactly what I need to be a better therapist. Thank you Katie and Curt for being real, honest and relatable. Appreciate the content you put out!!
-
Michael-HomeEnergyCoachGreat Podcast for Therapists!Katie and Curt have created a warm, professional and easy-to-listen to show. It's informative and smart while providing down-to-earth and applicable information for therapists.
-
Elizabeth Cush, LCPCWow! This podcast has it all!Katie and Curt are having some great conversation with each other and their guests! The depth and breadth of the content of the Therapy Reimagined podcast is amazing! From SEO to supporting first responders, and so many more great topics for therapists! I look forward to tuning in to hear more! I’ll definitely recommend this to colleagues!
-
GIRP for lifeI have to give it to themIt’s not always comfortable to hear them. It’s not always easy to agree with them. But they keep hitting it exactly right. Sometimes I feel called out, but it’s what helps me grow as a therapist.
-
Amy VanSlamTherapist mind & soul readersKatie and Curt have their finger on the pulse of what’s really going on inside of the hearts, minds and practices for therapists. More importantly they’re not afraid of bringing all of that out in the open in a generous way in every episode. Definitely a must-listen!
-
Fanci!Changed. My. Life.Curt & Katie have changed the way I do my practice. I have bought into being a #moderntherapist and have embraced how to be a therapist over what I do as a therapist.y clients have loved it!!!
-
HennabrookThank you!As a modern therapist early in my career, I really appreciate this podcast!
-
DbelletiSo happy to have found this!I’ve found my tribe. Curt and Katie are smart, funny, real, and know their stuff. This is a movement you want to get behind, and that’s LONG overdue. Can’t wait to devour all of the episodes!
-
KevinV87Absolutely love this oneI love Katie and Kurt. This is my favorite therapy podcast. I went to their first conference and loved it too. It’s very well produced. I would definitely recommended it to anyone in a mental health profession. They demonstrate inspiring courage with every episode.
-
F - one - fityAppreciated the progressive discussion!I really appreciated the episode Therapy of Tomorrow! Thank you for that and I hope there are more like it to come.
-
VFEDChrisSO grateful- that this drops on Monday for me. This podcast centers me and gets me excited to be myself while being a therapist. Smart guests. Beautiful philosophy. And- we get to meet their guests in October!
-
kkirsonLove this podcastThis podcast has been immensely helpful to me as I establish myself as a young clinician in a new state. Curt and Katie always choose relevant topics to discuss, and infuse fun and humor into the work. I love this podcast!!
-
BadAlibiHighly recommendCurt and Katie are not afraid to talk about the hard stuff. Every episode I listen to, I learn valuable information I can apply to my work as a therapist immediately. Thanks for this podcast!!
-
Caroline WiitaHighly recommend for graduate students!Found this podcast during my first year as a graduate student (I'm going into my second year now). Covers *a lot* of things that my program simply doesn't have time to get into. I highly recommend this for students as a supplement to the standard graduate program curriculum!
-
Not a therapistFun and educationalI love listening to Curt and Katie and their guests dive into the realistic issues facing therapists today. They have a stellar energy and fun way to play off each other. As a non-therapist, I still relate to many of the issues they discuss each week. Keep up the great work!
-
Just PattieGreat!Curt & Katie are the future of our profession!
-
Possum jenkinsssGreat podcast!Curt and Katie, you have done a wonderful job helping all of us be aware of the ways we can bring ourselves and our brand into our work. I'm excited to continue listening!
