2026/03/05

Send a text Perfection can look like excellence from a distance, yet up close it there's the potential for problems. We sit down with Dr. Greg Chasson—professor, board‑certified psychologist, and leading authority on OCD and related disorders—to separate what’s truly clinical from what’s simply crushing your workflow. Greg explains why OCD is defined by intrusive thoughts while perfectionism is often rule‑bound thinking that can calcify into inoperative rigidity. That clarity can give organiz...

Send us a text Change doesn’t fail because people are weak; it fails because we try to do it alone. We sat down with Dr. Amanda Falk, Partner and Chief Clinical Officer at The Dorm, to unpack how a true treatment community helps young adults move from symptom relief to purpose-driven lives. Amanda brings deep clinical expertise in DBT, CBT, EMDR, and family therapy, but her core message is simple: relationships make recovery sticky, and the milieu is the method.

What Your Insurance Won’t Tell You About Paying For...

Head Inside Mental Health ·

2025/12/02

Send us a text The question families often have to ask isn’t about diagnosis—it’s about dollars. We pull back the curtain on how mental health and substance use treatment actually gets paid for, from the moment you ask “do you take my insurance?” to the day a claim is approved, denied, or appealed. With Travis Herman, we map the terrain: building a real clinical profile, matching to the right level of care, and threading the needle through deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-network pitfalls...

We sit down with Momentum Recovery's Executive Clinical Director, Caitlin Rainwater, to unpack how healing from co-occurring substance use and trauma often begins long before anyone tells their story.

Treatment Without Walls, Community Within

Head Inside Mental Health ·

2025/10/13

Send us a text What if the mental health system focused on continuity over fragmentation, dignity over coercion, and a practical blend of medicine, lifestyle, and belonging that actually changes outcomes. Our default model is more emergency care than health care: ten-minute psychiatrist visits, revolving-door hospitalizations, and poor aftercare often worsen psychiatric health. We talk about alternatives that work: home-based ACT with true collaboration, campus-style therapeutic communities t...
