In this episode, we're speaking with Susannah Horwitz, a Colorado based License Mental Health Counselor. Susannah works with women and adolescents to heal trauma. She takes on a trauma-informed, nature based, expressive arts approach to help her clients get “off the couch” and into the outdoors to facilitate healing. 

Susannah now works in Private Practice, charging premium fees, and is the primary breadwinner for her family. Taking what she learned with LIMB and applying it to her practice, she is able to set her family up for success and show up more fully for her clients.

What three signs led her to charging premium fees and her fears around increasing her fees; 

How she built her private practice without a website presence;

Why she did not want to be a therapist with 30+ clients;
