Psychotherapy Session Guide & Protocols [PDF]

Author Recent Posts Yiannis PanteliHello! I’m Yiannis Panteli, a Mental Health Specialist and the founder of StudyInNursing.com. With a B.S. in Psychology and an M.S. in Health Education & Behavioral Science and additional training in Mental Health Studies and Clinical Education, I have spent years navigating the complexities of mental health care and clinical education.I founded this platform with a single goal: to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world clinical practice. I realized that many nursing students and therapists struggle not with patient care, but with the overwhelming demands of documentation and study organization. My resources are designed to reduce that burnout, providing you with evidence-based, structured tools that save time and protect your license. Welcome to a smarter way to study and practice.
