HOW TO BECOME AN EAP PROVIDER: 3 TIPS FOR A THERAPIST | IS IT WORTH IT? | DOCTOR TK

🦄JOIN THE ABUNDANT CRE8HERS COMMUNITY ~    / @doctortk  

There are my many different routes you can take as a therapist. Something I did early in my therapist career was become an EAP provider. An EAP provider provides counseling to employees who have personal or work related issues. I think becoming an EAP provider is a good place to start for therapists who want to open up a private practice. Being an EAP provider offers many benefits to therapists. In this video I'll be sharing my experience as a EAP provider. I'll also be covering how it helped my career and if it's worth it for other therapists.

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
[03:32] “Even though you may choose or elect to be on an insurance panel and take EAPs, you definitely still want to build up your brand, which means that you still want to serve and target your ideal clients. And so just like in an insurance panel for EAPs, you can actually own your application form, put [I only want to see these age group, or because of my specialty area with anxiety, I only want to see clients who are battling with anxiety, trauma, OCD, anything in the anxiety spectrum, for example]”

[05:53] “If you haven’t been doing consultations, even if you don’t take EAPs, I would highly suggest them so that you can provide psychoeducation related to your framework of how you do therapy.”

[06:16] “It does take a different skill set to do the short-term therapy compared to long-term therapy.”

[08:33] “EAP really has given me the ability to assess all the different dynamics within the family and then provide clinical recommendations once EAP is done. And if they choose to stay with me as a provider, then they can.”
