Between Sessions with Berries
You’re the one everyone turns to for support. But who supports you?
From endless documentation and emotional exhaustion to keeping up with clinical demands, mental health professionals are facing burnout like never before. You’ve tried better systems, stricter boundaries, even thought about leaving, but it still feels overwhelming.
That’s why Berries, your AI assistant built for clinicians, created In Between Sessions, a podcast made to help you do more of what matters: caring for your clients and caring for yourself.
Each week, we feature candid interviews with therapists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and mental health innovators who share what’s working in the real world, not just what looks good on paper. You’ll hear practical strategies for documentation, conversations about burnout and balance, and ways AI can support your workflow without replacing your clinical voice.
Hosted by Kym Tolson, clinical consultant and longtime therapist, this show is brought to you by Berries to help clinicians like you thrive in today’s mental health landscape.

Healing Therapist Burnout from the Inside Out with Kelly Higdon
Burnout doesn’t always look like exhaustion. Sometimes it shows up as dread, disconnection, or feeling stuck in a practice that no longer fits. If you're doing everything “right” on paper but still feel misaligned, this episode is for you.
Kelly Higdon, LMFT, co-author of Therapist Burnout and co-founder of ZynnyMe and Business School for Therapists, shares her journey from running one of the largest clinics in her county to building a business rooted in integrity, embodiment, and joy. She and Kym dive into how therapists can recognize systemic burnout, reclaim their energy, and create practices that truly support their well-being.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- The root causes of burnout most therapists never see coming.
- How to tell when your practice is out of alignment.
- Why self-attunement is essential to healing and sustainability.
- Ways to rebuild capacity before making big changes.
- The role of privilege and systemic oppression in therapist burnout.
