Becoming a Therapist - Olivia Duprez

Polyam Wellness E017: Becoming a Therapist with Olivia Duprez What does it take to become a therapist, and what happens when you want to specialize in communities that traditional therapy doesn't always understand? In this episode of Polyam Wellness, Alonzo Banx sits down with Olivia Duprez, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Open By Design, for a casual conversation about her journey into the mental health profession. We talk about the years of education, thousands of hours of supervised experience, the challenges of working with polyamorous, ENM, and kink communities, and why finding a therapist who truly understands your relationships matters. Olivia also shares some excellent advice about choosing a therapist, asking questions, and remembering that trust is something you build, not something you owe someone simply because they have a degree.
