In this episode of Taking Good Care, Dr. Andrew and Dr. Dave welcome longtime friend and colleague Dr. Sean Barford (registered psychologist) for an insightful conversation about an often-overlooked topic in psychology: the business of private practice.

While psychologists receive extensive training in assessment and treatment, few are taught how to build, manage, and sustain a successful practice. Drawing on years of real-world experience, the three psychologists share candid reflections on the challenges, lessons, and rewards of running private practices while staying true to the values that brought them into the profession.

From navigating the realities of business ownership to balancing growth with ethical, client-centered care, this episode offers practical insights and thoughtful discussion for anyone working in healthcare or considering opening a practice of their own.

Whether you're an established practitioner, a new clinician, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes of a healthcare practice, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode of Taking Good Care, Dr. Andrew and Dr. Dave sit down with special guest Dr. William Whelton, a practicing psychologist and professor at the University of Alberta.

A gifted storyteller, Dr. Whelton brings the evolution of psychology to life by weaving together the influential thinkers, ideas, and historical moments that have shaped modern psychotherapy. Through these stories, he offers listeners a deeper understanding of how current therapeutic approaches came to be.

This episode is essential listening for students beginning their journey in clinical psychology, as well as anyone considering therapy for themselves.
