In this episode, we are joined by Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, LMSW, a certified financial therapist, to talk about the intersection of money and mental health. She shares what financial therapy actually is and why you don’t have to be a financial expert to start talking about money with your clients.
Lindsay shares practical ways clinicians can start uncovering these patterns with clients and reminds us that you don’t need to have your own finances perfectly figured out or become a financial therapist to create space for these conversations.
