The choice of specialty within mental health professions may be confusing. Determining the etiology may require assessment and evaluation by a psychiatrist, who would manage the psychotropic medications. Clinical psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists, Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Licensed Mental Health Counselors have training in a variety of subspecialties. Therapeutic options include Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectic Behavioral, Trauma, Substance Abuse, Addictions Therapies, and others.
Ayurveda in the West
Published in D. Suresh Kumar, Ayurveda in the New Millennium, 2020
To further explain this problem, the author can share his experience of trying to set up a Pañcakarma clinic in Europe in 2011. In collaboration with Dr Sunil V. Joshi, an attempt was made at costing of all required materials and of two Western therapists to carry out the procedures. In order pay the rent of the clinic, the two Western therapists (trained by Dr Joshi), the material, the medicinal plants, the oils, room and board for the patient and, finally, pay of the doctor, the cost would need to be around €5000 ($5535) per week. As Pañcakarma therapies as per Caraka Samhita require a minimum of three to four weeks, this would mean a cost of €15,000 to €20,000 ($22,140) per patient. Needless to say, the project never went beyond the business plan, as this would only cater to an elite five-star clientele.
Naming the trauma

Vocational rehabilitation counselors have a unique relationship to disabling conditions. Even though it is part of their job to understand and be aware of a wide range of disabling conditions, which can be both physical and psychological, they are not the professionals who diagnose or treat the disabling condition. Rehabilitation counselors generally work with other professionals such as medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. The job of the vocational rehabilitation counselor is to understand how a disabling condition impairs an individual’s work life and how that impairment can be overcome.

Published in Clinical Gerontologist, 2023
Flora Ma, Chalise Carlson, Rowena Gomez, Christine E. Gould
The Technology Semi-Structured Interview Guide included pictures (i.e., sample intervention screenshots) of the treatment modalities including psychotherapy and self-management modalities (printed materials, DVD videos, mobile-apps, and Internet-based). Psychotherapy was described as psychotherapy with a counselor or therapist. Further, it was specified that psychotherapy could be delivered in-person, by phone, or via video telehealth. Participants were asked to rank the four self-management modalities preferences compared with psychotherapy to cope with emotional difficulties and to provide the rationale underlying their choice. For the purposes of this study, participants were grouped into two groups based on their first preferred treatment: psychotherapy or self-management. Interviewers asked participants’ opinions on their choice of ranked treatment preferences as qualitative feedback.

The modified START NOW intervention was conducted based on the START NOW Facilitator and Participant Manuals (Sampl et al., 2013) with modifications described throughout this paper. One therapist with a master’s degree in social work and another who is a licensed professional counselor enrolled in a PhD program in psychology conducted the intervention. For safety reasons, 1 to 2 officers were present during each session. The therapists led two modified START NOW group sessions per week along with two additional question and answer sessions to respond to inmate questions about START NOW content. Inmates could enter the SCTC when there was an open position (N=6). Inmates attended their first modified START NOW session within one week of entering the SCTC.
Burnout and intent-to-leave in physical therapists: a preliminary analysis of factors under organizational control
Published in Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2022

The organizational consequences of high clinician attrition include the opportunity loss of organizational understaffing and subsequent recruitment/training costs. Consider an outpatient PT clinic with a productivity of 12 patients/therapist/day and an average net reimbursement of $100/visit. If a PT resigns, the monthly loss of net revenue can exceed $25 K (average 21 day month). Additionally, there are recruitment costs, which if a recruiter is used, can be 10–15% of the first year salary of the hired PT. Contract labor can offset the revenue loss, but on an hourly basis can cost up to three times what a salaried clinician would cost. All told, the cost of a three-month recruitment effort for the loss of a single clinician can exceed $100 K. There are also the intangible losses of ability to service patients in immediate need of PT services and referral sources accustomed to getting patients into PT on a timely basis.
