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.

Rethinking Therapy Models for Neurodivergent Clients with Lucy Orton
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by the traditional 50-minute therapy model, this episode will expand your view of what’s possible. Therapist and coach Lucy Orton joins Kym to share how she built a global, intentionally spacious practice that serves high-achieving and neurodivergent clients through intensives rather than weekly sessions.
Lucy breaks down how she blends modalities like IFS, Brainspotting, and Relational Life Therapy to help clients do deep, focused work in a fraction of the time. She also opens up about balancing private practice with corporate consulting, pricing with confidence, and how AI tools like Berries fit into a sustainable, modern practice.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- How Lucy transitioned from coaching to therapy and built a global hybrid practice.
- Why intensives work especially well for high achievers and neurodivergent clients.
- How to structure and price therapy intensives without burning out.
- The ethical and practical realities of working internationally as a clinician.
- How to bring therapeutic skills into corporate consulting and land organizational contracts.
- What therapists can learn from coaches about money mindset and scalability.
- Ways AI tools like Berries can enhance client care and free up time for clinicians.
