Business Of Therapy

My Tough Decision to See Less Therapy Clients


Listen Later

In honor of Christmas, today’s episode is going to be one of my MOST popular episodes that aired a few months ago! 

This time of year is the perfect time to sit down and reflect on what went well and what you want to improve upon for the coming year. I’ve found that being intentional and giving myself permission to do things differently is super important. 

This has allowed me to create a business that is both enjoyable AND sustainable, which leads me to today’s topic!

One of the things I consistently share on Instagram is my monthly income report. You may have noticed that my income from 1-1 therapy clients isn’t as high as it used to be. In fact...it’s pretty low, which has led people to ask me WHY that is. 

Well...that’s because I made the tough decision to see less therapy clients. 

You may be thinking ‘Why the heck would you do that?!”, or questioning if it’s possible for YOU to make 6 figures seeing 1-1 therapy clients. 

I knew I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this topic and talk more in-depth about WHY I decided to see less therapy clients. Quite a bit has changed for me along the way, so let’s get into it! 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • My first year in private practice with ONLY1-1 therapy clients
  • What happened when my Instagram really took off
  • My major business growth in 2022 + what needed to change in 2023
  • Why I intentionally chose to see less 1-1 therapy clients in 2023 and what this looked like
  • Why you MUST give yourself permission to do what’s best for you and your business
