When Carrie Manning left her role as a school-based special education counselor, she wasn’t looking to just open a practice—she set out to build the kind of support system she knew kids and families truly needed.

In this episode of Trust Driven Insights, Dr. Josh Satterlee sits down with Carrie, founder of Reach Counseling in Fort Worth, Texas, to explore how she built a thriving therapy practice focused on neurodivergent kids, teens, and families. From the power of play therapy to the systems that prevent burnout, Carrie shares practical lessons and personal stories from her journey as both a clinician and business owner.

You’ll learn:

• How Carrie filled her caseload faster than expected—and what that revealed about community needs
• Why play therapy works (and why it’s misunderstood)
• How to build trust with kids, parents, and staff
• The biggest business challenges therapists face—and what Carrie wishes she'd learned earlier
• How automation and communication systems helped her grow without losing her sanity

If you’re a therapist, educator, or healthcare provider serving kids and families, this episode offers valuable insights into building a heart-forward, sustainable practice that works.
