Are you unintentionally making the mistake of asking your private practice clients for permission when you should be taking responsibility instead? In today's podcast episode, I dive into the crucial distinction between collaboration and responsibility in your private practice. Discover why asking clients for their input or negotiating with them on certain business aspects isn't just unnecessary—it can actually lead to chaos and confusion between you and your clients.

I'll guide you through identifying which decisions should strictly be yours, such as setting fees and office policies, and how to confidently maintain those boundaries. Plus, you'll learn strategies to handle client requests that don't align with your practice's structure, all while keeping professional integrity intact.

You can expect to walk away with a clear understanding of when to lead and when to listen, ensuring your therapy sessions are both effective and empowering. So if you're ready to take charge of your business and create a practice that truly works for you, join me now!
