Ruby Receptionists is offering a special benefit to our members: a FREE 14-day trial PLUS a $100 gift card with new signups. Ruby Receptionists is GREAT because they offer a "pay by the call" pricing program so that even if you're a small practice, you can have a nice person answer your phone when you're not available. One of the biggest ways I see therapists lose clients is by not answering the phone, which ironically happens more often as we get a little busy-- so just when you're starting to get busy with clients, you are suddenly too busy to book more clients and get REALLY full to the point where you can EASILY raise your fees... a receptionist will solve this problem for you, plus they make you look more professional. If you're curious to see how they can help, a free 14-day trial should help make it easy to find out.

Dr. Chloe's Favorite Charts to Have Handy with Clients
​
-
Pre-contemplation (resisting change)
-
How to Recognize: Avoiding the subject, ill-informed, defense mechanisms: denial (I don’t have a problem), rationalization (making excuses), intellectualization (avoids engaging emotionally), projection (others have the problem), displacement (blame on other people)
-
How to Move on: think about subject, become well informed, take responsibility, become aware of defenses, coping: concentrate on problem, proper logical analysis, empathy, sublimation.

-
-
Preparation (getting ready)
-
How to Recognize: have decided on action, making steps necessary to prepare for action
-
How to Move on: commit to change, counter anxiety by taking small steps, setting a time frame, telling people about your decision and making an action plan
-
-
Action (time to move)
-
How to Recognize: taking first steps required for change
-
How to Move on: find healthy responses to cope with the benefits of the problem (e.g. if smoking reduces anxiety, find other ways to reduce anxiety), exercise, relax, control your environment

Maintenance (staying there)

Termination (if no relapse) or Recycling (learning from relapse)
-
How to Recognize: New self image, no temptation OR relapse
