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.
