Born from Experience, Built for Change
Rethink Today isn’t just a training platform—it’s a movement born from real experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to sustain a fulfilling career in mental health.
After 22 years in the field, I’ve seen firsthand how life’s transitions shape the way we practice. Our approach to therapy needs to evolve with us—adapting to the challenges we face, the clients we serve, and the realities of running a business. I didn’t build a thriving group practice by following the traditional path. I built it by rethinking what it means to teach, practice, and sustain a career in therapy.
As a therapist, practice owner, and educator, I know the uncertainty that comes with sitting across from a client, wondering where to start or how to navigate the many paths forward. Even after years of education, those moments can feel overwhelming. Rethink Today was created to change that—offering the tools, guidance, and support to help therapists feel confident, capable, and in control of their careers.
Our courses bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice, empowering you to:
-
Feel capable. You’re already an expert — we help you own that confidence.
-
Embrace continuous learning. Therapy evolves, and so should you.
-
Prioritize balance. You shouldn’t have to choose between helping others and caring for yourself.
Every day is a new day — a chance to rethink how you practice, how you learn, and how you lead.
MEET CHRISTY
Christy Livingston is a helper and a healer, and consultant certified at the highest level possible in play therapy credentialing, to serve and support children with more than 20 years of experience supporting children and their families.
She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, and the owner of Bridges to Understanding, a large and thriving group therapy practice. A lifelong California resident and mother to her own incredible little human, Christy believes in the power of curiosity, human connection, and mindful presence to change each other and our communities.
CHRISTY'S PASSION FOR HELPING THERAPISTS RETHINK THEIR APPROACH IS DEEPLY PERSONAL
As both a therapist and a parent, Christy has experienced the weight of concern from both sides—guiding families professionally while also navigating the unknown firsthand for her own child. When early concern was dismissed as “nothing to worry about,” she understood that vague reassurances were eating away at precious moments to make change in crucial windows of time. Instead, she became an advocate, researching medical specialists, seeking second opinions, and pausing everything in life to ensure they received the right care.
Is it a developmental consideration? A medical issue? Does intervention even need to happen? These are the questions many families face, often without clear answers. Christy understands the challenges of sorting through medical opinions, weighing next steps, and making informed decisions about early care—and she’s dedicated to helping others do the same.
Her experience reshaped how she approaches therapy, driving home the importance of truly seeing the whole child — and empowering therapists to do the same. It’s not just about building better practices — it’s about creating better outcomes for the kids and families who need it most.
