In this episode we explore what it means to be a Court Involved Therapist (CIT). For many mental health providers, the idea of going to court is very anxiety provoking, and that’s why we invited Dene Carroll, LCSW to join us today. Dene talks about her experience as a CIT; she discusses the three key components of therapy with families involved in the court, and the four roles CITs play. She also talks us through the process of coparenting counseling, including session systems and structure, and she touches on the business aspect of being a court involved therapist, including how she gets referrals. Finally, she shares the five protective factors that help move parents and families through this experience.   Get all of our latest news, be the first to know about new episodes and events, and stay connected through <a href='https://www.instagram.com/beachfronttherapist/'>Instagram</a> and <a href='https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551458777827'>Facebook</a>.
