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.

From Burnout to Six Figures with Denielle Rigoglioso
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when your dream job slowly turns into the very thing burning you out? For many mental health professionals, the answer is quiet exhaustion, creeping resentment, and a body that starts sending warning signs you cannot ignore.
In this episode, Denielle Rigoglioso, licensed professional counselor, certified substance abuse counselor, and founder of Saltwater Coaching and Consulting, shares how managing two multimillion-dollar community mental health sites pushed her to a breaking point and ultimately into private practice. After cracking a tooth from stress, she made the leap and built a six-figure private practice in under 90 days.
Denielle breaks down the mindset shifts, financial planning, marketing strategy, and AI tools that helped her replace burnout with freedom and profit, and shows what is truly possible for mental health professionals ready for change.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- What mental health professionals are not taught about supervision in grad school.
- How to support interns and pre-licensed clinicians without burning out.
- The real skills students need beyond active listening.
- Why supervision makes you a better clinician at every stage.
- How to grow a group practice by mentoring the next generation.
- When and how to introduce AI tools like Berries into training.
- Using supervision to reduce imposter syndrome and build clinical confidence.
