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.

Preventing Therapist Burnout Before It Starts with Lorain Moorehead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Burnout rarely announces itself. For many mental health professionals, it builds slowly, often in the gap between doing meaningful work and losing the spark that made the work feel meaningful in the first place.
In this episode of Between Sessions with Berries, Kym sits down with Lorain Moorehead, LCSW, EMDR approved consultant, clinical supervisor, and faculty associate at Arizona State University, to talk about what actually keeps a career sustainable over the long haul. Lorain brings 18 years of experience working with high-achieving professionals and clinicians, and she shares how staying connected to your core values, not just your caseload, can be the difference between thriving and burning out.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why learning as a core value can act as a built-in burnout prevention strategy.
- How your caseload can organically reveal a niche within your niche.
- The mental health patterns most common in therapist entrepreneurs, including ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism.
- Why not everyone needs to follow the same career trajectory and why that is actually okay.
- How to identify the parts of your work that drain you and what to do about them.
- The role AI note-writing and customizable EHRs are playing in reducing clinician burnout.
- How Lorain structures supervision using HIPAA-compliant tools like Google Workspace and Dropbox.
