  5. Did the New York Times just blame the lack of affordable mental health care on therapists?!

    Did the New York Times just blame the lack of affordable mental health care on therapists?!

    Ready to set your fee? You choose the dream, we'll do the math. Download our FREE Fun with Fees Calculator here 👉🏽 https://www.leaninmakebank.com/free   Here’s a question to start us off today: What if I told you that the constant push to make therapy more affordable is actually hurting both therapists and clients? I know, it sounds counterintuitive. We’re in a helping profession, right?  So making therapy affordable should be the goal.  I’m sure many of you read the New York Times article, which was headlined “Therapy Can Be a Financial Burden. Try Telling Your Therapist That.” and, if you’re anything like some of the therapists I heard from, you didn’t feel great about how cash pay therapists were portrayed. But what if this whole narrative around affordability is backfiring? What if, in our attempts to keep therapy accessible, we’re not only devaluing mental health, but also providing less-than-ideal care to our clients?  Today, we’re going to flip this conversation on its head and explore how the pursuit of 'affordable therapy' is leading us down a path of burnout and financial stress, and ultimately—less effective therapy for clients.  In this episode, Tiffany shares:  Where the push for affordable therapy comes from and its consequences on therapists;  Why “affordable therapy” isn’t a sustainable solution for therapists OR clients;  A new way to think about fees and accessibility;  The power of charging what you need.  Resources Mentioned: Fun with Fees Calculator

    Ready to set your fee? You choose the dream, we'll do the math. Download our FREE Fun with Fees Calculator here 👉🏽 https://www.leaninmakebank.com/free  In this episode, we’re speaking with Meredith Blumenthal, a registered dietician nutritionist based in Washington state.  One of our first non-therapist LIMB grads, Meredith discusses going from earning 63k per year working at a clinic to having her own premium fee practice where she charges $225 per session.   If you’re struggling with the ethics of charging premium fees, you’ll definitely want to tune in — we’ll be talking about how Meredith’s feminist and social justice lens reinforced her commitment to charging premium fees.   In this episode, Meredith shares:  The three signs that helped her realize she was burning out in her W2 clinic position;  Her decision to not take insurance at her private practice from the outset (Her reasons might surprise you!);  How getting clear about what she wanted to earn and how she wanted to take care of herself led to her doing improved clinical work and coming into a massive clinical insight when working with one particular client;   What happened when a client was pissed about her premium fee raise and how she handled it;  How dieticians and therapists should be working together to provide excellent clinical care;  Two pieces of strategic advice you can implement right now to start charging premium fees.   Resources mentioned:  LIMB Academy FWF Calculator   Meredith’s Website  Meredith’s Instagram More about Meredith: Meredith Blumenthal, MS, RDN, CD (she/her) is a Nutrition Therapist and Body Image Coach who has made it her mission to help women stop dieting and start living life on their own terms. Meredith believes that our “lack of self-control” and willpower is not the problem. Instead, she teaches her clients why dieting is harmful to their mental and physical health, and how to find wholehearted wellness without depriving themselves of the foods they love or jeopardizing their physical health.

    Ask Tiffany: How can I build a sustainable, cash pay practice when the expectation in my town is that therapists see 35-40 clients/week and charge very little?

    Ready to set your fee? You choose the dream, we'll do the math. Download our FREE Fun with Fees Calculator here 👉🏽 https://www.leaninmakebank.com/free In this episode, we dive in to answer a listener question from Leah. She asks, how can I build a sustainable, cash pay practice when the expectation in my town is that therapists see 35-40 clients/week and pay very little?  Many therapists we’ve worked with in LIMB have had an internal conflict around the desire to 1) continue serving clients who cannot pay a higher fee and 2) earn enough to take care of themselves and their families.  So, can you have the best of both worlds?!  If you’re looking for the reality-based resolution, you won’t want to miss today’s episode.   In this episode, we’ll discuss:   How industry-specific professional norms unconsciously frame the internal and external fee raise discussion against your best interests;   How location-based cultural norms bias your beliefs about what’s possible for your practice;   Why making decisions about your future caseload based on your current caseload is rooted in cognitive present bias;  The #1 action step Leah needs to take right now to move towards her $150/session, cash pay practice.
