    Episode #769: Advocacy in Practice with Maya Benattar

    In today's episode, I talk with Maya Benattar, LCAT, a licensed creative arts therapist in New York, about what happens when you discover your entire license type has been left out of major mental health legislation and you decide to do something about it. Maya shares how she built a coalition that became a full 501(c)(3), hired a lobbyist, and is fighting to get LCATs the insurance coverage mandates and diagnostic privileges they deserve. We also talk about how she keeps her practice sustainable while doing all of this, including why staying out of network has given her the flexibility to show up for the advocacy work without burning out completely.

    Episode #768: Why Your Networking Isn't Leading to Referrals

    In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith — Limitless Practice grad, now on Team Abundance, premium-fee private pay practice in New Orleans. We're talking about why a full year of networking can still get you nowhere. Coffee chats. Emails. Showing up to all the things. & still no referrals. Turns out more events was never the fix. We get into why a fuzzy niche makes you instantly forgettable, how to spot if you're networking with the wrong people entirely, & why this is actually just relationships, not a numbers game.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #766: Two Years of Almost — Getting Off Insurance Panels for Real This Time

    In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A.E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about dropping insurance panels. Specifically, the part nobody warns you about: the fear. We're getting into why the timing is never going to feel right, what it actually looks like to make this move strategically without blowing up your income, and why having a needle-thin niche is the thing that makes all of it possible. Rebecca did this herself and her life is so much better on the other side. Come hear what she has to say.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #765: Feeling Stuck

    In today's episode, I'm chatting with Abundance Party member Weston, a geropsychologist building a private pay LGBTQ+ focused practice, about honing his niche around queer grief and loss, why blogging beats social media for his ideal client, and how to position himself as the go-to referral source in a specialized niche.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #764: When You're the Only Clinician in the Building

    In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the part of going solo that nobody really warns you about: the moment you realize the team you thought you weren't even leaning on was actually holding up more than you knew. We get into why the loneliness of private practice isn't really a clinical problem, how to sort out what you actually need from what you're telling yourself you need, and what it looks like to build the kind of support and connection that doesn't require sharing a hallway with anyone.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

    Episode #763: Shrinking an Overfull Practice

    In today's episode, I'm strategizing with Abundance Party member Jessica about getting her caseload down to 25 clients — who stays, who gets referred out, & whether group therapy makes sense for her practice. We get into a client whose relationship behavior is ethically complicated enough that she needs someone who specializes in ethical non-monogamy. And we talk through Jessica's second business: the marketing clarity it needs before it needs anything else, & why letting it grow at the right pace is the smarter play.

    Episode #762: Consult Calls Freak You Out? This Is What's Really Happening

    In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith, Limitless Practice grad and Team Abundance consultant, to talk about the imposter syndrome spiral that hits right before a consult call. We get into why it shows up even after years of experience, the mindset shift that actually helps, and why proving yourself on a consult call is the fastest way to lose the client. We also talk about what your potential client is really looking for when they call, how to make them feel heard instead of interviewed, and why having a simple script makes the whole thing easier than you think.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
