Join us for part two of our interview on Internal Family Systems Theory

We are your cohosts for the Zest for Therapy Podcast Courtney Doman AMFT and Celeste Webster MSWi. Whether you are a pre-licensed intern, provisionally licensed therapist, or just feel new regardless of your license status, we know being a new therapist can be overwhelming. You are stepping out of your comfort zone, learning new things, sharpening your therapy skills, working on yourself, all while balancing life outside of work, or school. You might be experiencing imposter syndrome or still be finding your footing in therapy. Our goal at Zest for Therapy is to support new therapists by normalizing your experience, filling your tool box, and keeping you research informed. We want to build your confidence and competence, and ultimately help you feel less alone. We hope you join our supportive community and know that there are tools to help you as a therapist in your work to overcome burnout, overwhelm, and stagnation.
