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.
Ready for less overwhelm and more clarity in your week? Hit follow and join us each Wednesday for Between Sessions, your weekly dose of support, strategy, and solidarity from the front lines of mental health care.

Stop Letting Your Practice Run You with Brie Chrisman
Running a private practice is supposed to offer freedom, not constant overwhelm. But if you're wearing every hat (clinician, admin, marketer, manager), it’s easy to feel like your business is running you. In this episode, operations expert Brie Chrisman shares what mental health professionals need most when burnout hits: better backend systems, not just more hustle.
With over 15 years of experience in project management and operations, Brie is the founder and CEO of Bosco, a human-first virtual operations company. She joins Kym to break down exactly how therapists can reclaim their time, grow sustainably, and stop drowning in decisions. Whether you’re solo, scaling, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you breathe easier and work smarter.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why most therapists are never taught the business side of private practice.
- The difference between operations, systems, processes, and tasks.
- How to reduce decision fatigue with task batching and brain-friendly workflows.
- What to delegate first when you’re burned out or overwhelmed.
- Cost-saving tips from expense audits to subscription downgrades.
- How automation and templating can streamline your day-to-day.
- When to bring in help and how to decide what kind of support you need.
