Many therapists have found that once Covid-19 ends in the US, they want to keep their practices 100% virtual, which is totally doable.

Get ready to do some soul searching & contract reading as you start to build your online practice.

I’ve seen it all when it comes time to pay yourself. Whether it’s a little worthiness coming into play or fear of making a mistake & under or overpaying yourself if you’re not paying yourself, that’s not good. And keep in mind, there’s a difference between not paying yourself & if you can’t pay yourself. Get clear on what you’re worried about when it comes time to pay yourself & remember, you wouldn’t accept not getting paid at an agency!
