Private Practice Skills

Today we're diving into the topic of therapist isolation. Rather than offer some peppy tips to make friends, I take a deeper dive into some of the reasons (in my opinion) that our field has become so isolating overall. I do have hope that we can make some radical shifts in time that make this a much more supportive, communal, and welcoming field to work in!

We're tackling a big one in this week's episode! There's a misconception that early career therapists and new private practice owners are "supposed" to charge less than those later in their career.

In this episode we tackle some of the common misconceptions I hear about setting our rate in private practice and I offer some of my semi-ranty thoughts about setting fees in the context of our broken healthcare system. Super fun stuff amiright? ;) I hope you find this helpful!

In my opinion, the biggest marketing mistake therapists make is being inauthentic. In this episode, I share how I think inauthenticity negatively impacts our marketing and offer some tools for how to be more authentic across your marketing channels.

I’ve always been so curious to know what the most ideal, perfect therapist schedule is. Not only do I wonder how many clients per week should we see to maximize happiness, but also, how many clients per day? And how many back-to-back? Do we need to contain them during regular business hours or do we need to be open to seeing clients during nights and weekends?

In today’s episode, I set out to answer this question through an informal survey of my email list, which received 125 responses (!!). THANK you for responding, it’s so helpful!

I couldn't find too many places out there where therapists talk about the experience of judging our clients. So, I guess I'm giving it a go! Hopefully, we can normalize how human it is to judge while inserting some compassion and curiosity into our experience so that we can benefit while also best supporting our clients.
