Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
"A better quality question to the myth of ‘Therapists should not have a waitlist because clients need to be seen right’ now is, ‘How can I attend to potential clients’ needs while on my waitlist?’" (02:25)

"What information are you providing to the potential client to explain your waitlist process? Because if clients don't understand the waitlist process, we don't want them to get a misunderstanding of a) We're the therapist already when we're not, and then b) Should they be waiting or should they be doing something else?" (08:40)

"An individual becomes your client once they say yes to you being their therapist; and they also sign the consent waiver along with any other policies, procedures, and forms that you have. And even after that, they need to show up to the intake session." (13:20)
