The Not Your Typical Psychotherapist Summit: A Unique Convergence of Therapy and Photography
Ernesto Segismundo—Host
As both a licensed therapist and an experienced headshot photographer, I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between these two fields. This unique connection was never more evident than during my time at the Not Your Typical Psychotherapist Summit in Nashville, TN.
This unique summit was a meeting of the minds like no other. It assembled an extraordinary group of therapists, many of whom were not just involved in therapy but also running their own entrepreneurial ventures. This event celebrated the diversity of therapists and reminded us that therapists, like their clients, can also be multifaceted individuals with unique perspectives to share.
My session with Audrey Schoen, LMFT, was a standout experience at the summit. Audrey's enthusiasm and vibrancy were evident from the moment she stepped in front of the camera. She was eager to express her distinct personality through her headshots and was brimming with confidence. This desire to stand out from the crowd was something I worked to capture in her photos, creating headshots that truly reflect Audrey's unique essence.
Another poignant session was with Rick and Monique Elgersma, a couple who are also therapists specializing in couples therapy. Their love for each other was palpable and beautifully informed their professional photos. The headshots captured their mutual respect, affection, and the warm connection they share, traits that make them incredibly effective in their therapy work.
The summit was a whirlwind of energy and inspiration. Each photo session allowed me to delve deeper into the individual stories of the attendees, and each one brought a new understanding of the vibrant professional landscape these therapists navigate. As a headshot photographer for therapists, my dual insight into the worlds of therapy and photography was invaluable in capturing the true spirit of each participant.
The Not Your Typical Psychotherapist Summit was a testament to the breadth and diversity in the field of therapy. It highlighted the personal and professional journeys of therapists and emphasized the importance of individuality within a profession often seen as monolithic. If you're a therapist seeking to express your unique professional identity through a headshot, or an event organizer wanting to encapsulate the essence of your event through photography, I’d be delighted to collaborate and bring your vision to life.
