A New Book by Roberta Rachel Omin, LCSW

When the Therapist Is Ill.

A relational guide for psychotherapists, counselors, and clinicians facing what training rarely addresses: vulnerability, self-disclosure, and the convergence of personal and professional life when the therapist's own life is changed.

When the Therapist Is Ill: Navigating Vulnerability, Self-Care, and Self-Disclosure in Clinical Practice, by Roberta Rachel Omin, LCSW
Welcome

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over fifty years.

Across that arc (individuals, couples, families, parents, people living with illness) I have come to deep respect for the strength it takes to seek help, and for the slow work of becoming. This site is a small gathering place for that work.

The choices we make define the lives we live.

What's Here

Five doors into the work.

Whatever is human is mentionable. Whatever is mentionable is manageable.

— Fred Rogers

The conversation we have been missing.

A relational guide. A practical companion. A long-overdue book.
