In this consulting episode we meet Nicole Campbell, an LICSW who recently started her own practice Next Chapter Collaborative and is concerned about the potential for a scarcity mindset. She describes her career climb working in agencies and in group practice and her ultimate decision to transition to clinical work full-time. She inquires about knowing when you have taken on "enough" clients and asks Julia, "how do you challenge scarcity mindset and trust that you will have security?" She also describes her compassionate empathetic nature and tendency to accommodate rather than say "no" to potential clients after an initial consult.

Julia encourages:

-calculating the number of clients that need to be seen to achieve your financial goals at the outset

-remembering there will never be a shortage of clients

-not forgetting to take the time to get clear on your ideal client

-remaining clear on the purpose behind your decision

-outsourcing to an administrative assistant to field calls and help with screening

-considering the short term gain of helping someone by offering a session versus long term consequences of overwhelm
