    Episode #792: Reconciling Private Pay Guilt in Private Practice

    Going private pay full-time doesn't have to mean carrying guilt about who gets left out. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're digging into the question of whether leaving insurance is a values conflict, why the idea that private pay only serves rich clients is a myth, & the real, tangible ways to give back that don't require torching your business model to do it.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #791: Office Space: To Stay or Go

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Halina, who's weighing whether to stay in her current office or move closer to home as her lease comes up for renewal. We talk through the real trade offs of commuting versus working from home, why her beloved office community & layout matter more than shaving a few minutes off the drive, & how to think through a big decision like this with questions about regret & what feels like the next evolution of your practice instead of just chasing convenience.    Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #790: Balancing Private Practice and Parenthood as a Therapist

    You're a therapist and a parent of young kids & you feel like you're failing at both. You're not alone & there is a way through. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Between us we've raised four kids in private practice. We're getting into what actually makes this work, why it mostly comes down to your fee and your schedule, & why you have more control over this than you think.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #789: Marketing Couples Therapy, feat. Susan Saint-Rossy

    In today's episode, I chat with Susan Saint-Rossy, LCSW, LICSW, a couples therapist who helps other couples therapists build their practices, about the nuances that make marketing to couples so different from marketing to individuals. We dig into writing to two buyers at once (who often have different agendas), why niching within a niche means describing the relational dynamic you love working with, why couples usually find you in an act of desperation rather than through a friend's referral, & why individual therapists are your best referral source. Susan's also doing a full training on this for Abundance Party members, so if you work with couples (or want to), don't miss it.  To learn more about Susan Saint-Rossy visit https://www.couplestherapiststudio.com/  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #788: Private Practice Income: How Long Until You Replace Your Salary?

    Filling your caseload in private practice: some say it happened really fast, some say it took forever & neither answer is particularly useful. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're getting into what a realistic timeline actually looks like, what factors move the needle most, & why the answer is so much more in your control than you think.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #787: How to Get More Clients

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Jo-Ann, who niches in women diagnosed later in life with ADHD, about why her marketing isn't quite matching her ideal client yet. We talk through why networking with psychiatric practices & testing psychologists is worth doubling down on since it's already working for her, why YouTube & Instagram may not be the right fit unless she genuinely loves creating content, & how to speak directly to her ideal client's daily overwhelm (aging parents, kids, & the grief of a late diagnosis) instead of getting caught up comparing herself to the bigger ADHD conversation happening online.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #786: How to Take Maternity Leave When You're the Whole Business

    You just found out you're pregnant & your second emotion is panic about your practice. Nobody tells you about the business side of this & there is a lot to figure out. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Four kids between us, both in private practice. We know some things & we're sharing all of it, what we did right, what we'd do differently, & how to actually protect your income & your clients without losing your mind.    Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #785: Increasing Private Pay Clients

    In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Heather, who's three years into private practice, full at 25-27 clients a week, but working harder than she wants to. We dig into why increasing her private pay visibility, raising her rate, & taking insurance off her website will move the needle way more than hiring a clinician, subleasing office space, or building a course. We also talk about sliding scale and why it's worth sitting with what you actually want for your practice instead of what you think you "should" want.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
