I love hearing from therapists in rural areas or areas where access may not be as easy as it is for people in more affluent & accessible urban or suburban areas. One common misconception is that rural areas can’t afford a full-fee therapist. Check out today’s Ask Allison for some actionable steps to set your fee in rural or low-access areas without a) feeling like a jerk & b) getting some solid numbers that can help you quit that security blanket agency job.

Many therapists have found that once Covid-19 ends in the US, they want to keep their practices 100% virtual, which is totally doable. You may have some homework to do if you’re preparing to leave a group practice or want to stay on insurance panels. Get ready to do some soul searching & contract reading as you start to build your online practice. Check what you signed on for with your group practice & what the major insurers in your area will cover once in-person therapy is possible again.

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!

It’s natural to try & cut corners where you can as you’re getting started building your practice, but accepting a friend or family rate from a buddy who says they can help build your website might cost you more in the long run. Cutting corners sometimes means you’re missing vital pieces of your marketing materials (a wonky website, really unflattering photos, a logo that looks like a duck playing the trumpet even though it’s really some trees & your initials). Now you have to give feedback to someone who did you a favor or didn’t charge you their full rate. So what do you do? Check out this week’s Ask Allison for some tips on navigating the murky waters of the friends & family discount.
