Free Video: Top 5 Mistakes

This video demonstrates 5 of the most common mistakes therapists make while testifying on the stand that jeopardizes their license. However, you don’t have to make these mistakes. 

With the help of Tanya and two attorneys, they will show you how to handle common situations on the stand and what to avoid. 

This video gives you an introduction to what to expect when testifying in court and will also offer you a sneak peak of the quality you can expect when you dive into the full course.






We know that you’re a great therapist.

You maintain confidentiality with your clients, you always act ethically, and you respect your clients autonomy while supporting their rights to make decisions about their own treatment.

Testifying in a courtroom isn’t why you signed up for this job. In fact, you might have even been avoiding taking on certain clients for fear of being involved in a pending or future court case.

However, the fact is that, as a therapist, you may receive a court subpoena within your career—and failing to deal with it properly could get you into a whole lot of trouble.

But what if there were a way to take on clients you know you could help, without the fear of having to testify in court and risk dealing with a hostile litigating attorney or saying the wrong thing on the stand that may jeopardize your credibility or client confidentiality.

Course 2: Testifying on the Stand

Feeling nervous about testifying in court as a therapist is a common reaction to receiving a subpoena. This fear is so strong that many therapists avoid even taking cases that could result in them being pulled into court.

They often worry that they could get a board complaint after their testimony, or that it could damage the therapeutic relationship with their client.

Let’s turn that fear into the satisfaction of making a difference by helping the bench officer or judge gain clarity that aids them in ruling on a case.
