Amber Lyda on Revolutionizing Therapy: From Agency Work to Private Practice

If therapists were able to see that the ability to do this work is within their grasp and it's not going to take A Million Years, you don't need to go back to school, you don't need a license. Now we are all going to be seeing this in our practices.
Imagine having the freedom to shape your therapy practice to fit your life, not the other way around. In this episode of 'All Things Substance', Betsy Byler chats with Dr. Amber Lyda, a licensed psychologist who has done just that. Amber shares her transformative journey from working in agencies to establishing a thriving private practice. She dives into how therapists can integrate substance use treatment into outpatient mental health, making it a win-win for both therapists and clients.
Amber emphasizes the importance of understanding clients' needs and leveraging telehealth to reach more people effectively. She also sheds light on practical marketing strategies to promote substance use work, helping therapists carve out a niche in this essential area. This episode is packed with actionable insights for any therapist looking to expand their practice and find a balance between professional fulfillment and personal freedom.
