How to Increase Your Income in Private Practice: Three Levers All Practice Owners Can Use

In this podcast episode of Therapy for Your Money, host Julie Herres discusses levers that therapy practice owners can control to increase their income. 

• The first lever is the number of sessions provided by the practice, in which an increase should generate higher profits. 
• The second lever is the average fee per session, increasing rates should lead to higher income, assuming overheads don't rise. 
• The final lever is the allocation of income, more specifically, how much owner's pay they assign themselves. 

By skillfully managing these levers and expenses, practice owners can improve their personal income without necessarily needing to increase their gross earnings.
