SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
In this episode of the Holistic Healers Community Podcast, Crystal sits down with fellow Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Jacky Rojas, for an honest and grounding conversation about private practice, consultation, and what it really means to build a career in this field without doing it alone.
Crystal shares how their consultation group was formed around the same time she launched her private practice, becoming a consistent source of support, connection, and reflection throughout her journey. What started as a space for case consultation has evolved into something much deeper: A place where both therapists can exhale, process, and show up fully as humans navigating both personal and professional experiences.
Together, they explore Jacky’s recent decision to step into private practice this year, doing it scared, and the excitement and uncertainty that can come with building something of your own. They talk about the pressure to “niche down,” the challenge of having multiple passions within the field, and how Jacky has found her footing as a relational therapist working with both couples and individuals, as well as specializing in ADHD.
This episode also highlights the ways they’ve intentionally expanded their consultation space beyond case conceptualization, incorporating a therapy-related book club, skills-building, and even moments of creativity and fun (like hosting Jacky’s headshot photoshoot in the HHC podcast studio).
This conversation is a reminder that therapists need support too, and that when we create spaces to be seen, held, and challenged, we not only grow as clinicians, but as people.
If you’ve ever felt alone in your work, this episode is for you.
