    You Don't Have to Be a "Perfect" Therapist. Here's Why

    In this episode, we debunk some of the top myths about being a good therapist. Myth 1: A good therapist always knows what to say Myth 2: You have to have your own life completely figured out to help others Myth 3: Burnout means you're not cut out for this work Myth 4: Real therapists don't Google client symptoms or consult with colleagues mid-week What are some of the myths about good therapists that you still hear floating around?

    Client Patterns that Reflect Societal Patterns

    In this week's episode, we look at responses to a Reddit post that asks, "Therapists, what are the common patterns you've noticed in your clients that simultaneously tell you what's going on in society as a collective?" This piqued my interest! What are some of the patterns you've seen in your therapy work that reflects societal shifts?

    How do I Set my Fee as a New Private Practice Owner?

    Many of us can get caught up on figuring out how to set our rate in private practice. Do we just make up a random number? Do we charge whatever other people seem to be charging? In this episode, I share the same rate calculator I’ve been using for years. Rather than guessing, you can use this formula to be empowered to name your desired income and work backwards to charge a rate that will earn the income you want.
