35. Therapists as Expert Witnesses: Alternatives to Direct Care
Show Notes

A common topic of discussion among clinicians is alternatives to agency work or private practice, and more than ever, therapists are looking at side hustles and alternative roles. One option is being an expert witness. If you're looking to branch out and move beyond or add to your direct care work, this is the episode for you.
Dr. Tom Davis began his career as a General Practitioner in a small medical practice in St. Louis Missouri and has built success as a consultant for professionals in the healthcare field seeking to work beyond direct care. In this episode we look at options outside of direct care and discuss being an expert witness. Dr. Davis discusses the steps clinicians should take to move out of direct care and move toward alternative career paths. He also shares simple steps from website basics to knowing our worth, as Dr. Davis says, "if you don't see yourself, no one else will". Prepare to have your mind blown with all of the opportunities available to mental health clinicians to thrive in.
