    Episode 5: Where to Begin If Running Your Own Program Sounds Like You

    Running your own program sounds like you? Mollie answers what therapists are really asking: how long credentialing takes and how to keep working while you wait, why getting enrolled with Medicaid is only the first step, the small mismatch that stalls applications, and why a licensed owner signing off on their own cases changes the money. This picks up right where Episode 4 left off. Mollie was a service provider for nearly twenty years. Have a question about starting a practice or a program? Leave it in the comments below.

    Episode 3: Your License Is Worth More Than Your Session Hours

    Most therapists were only ever taught one way to earn more: see more people. In this episode, Mollie talks with Bella, a digital co-host playing a therapist with a full caseload, about a way to add income that doesn’t mean more sessions. Some programs must pay a licensed clinician to sign off on their cases, and a licensed therapist can be that clinician. Mollie also explains why therapists who run their own service provider programs have an edge: they can sign off on their own cases.
