April 03, 2023How to Raise Your Fees & Take a Week off from Your Practice Every Month [Ep 2]
Do you ever wish that you could just take a week off from seeing your clients? I’m not talking about taking a longer break for holidays and vacations, but taking a week off so you could step out of the employee role and step into your entrepreneurial self. Focus on your business only. If the answer is yes, then this episode is for you!
If you are waiting for a secret roundabout way for you to take a week off without raising your fees, sorry, but it doesn’t exist. I know that some of you are probably cringing when you hear ‘raising fees’, but the reality is that most therapists need to raise fees for their services and that’s exactly what I will teach you in today’s podcast episode! Tune in to learn about how to set up your practice so you can earn enough money to take time off, how to use the time off and invest it into growing your business, how to let clients know that you are raising your fees, tips on healing your money blocks, and much more!
In this episode, I chat about:
The first step you need to take so you can take a week off from seeing clients
How to determine whether you need to raise your fees
A free tool that helps you figure out what you should be charging for your services
Common money blocks that stop you from raising your fees
Why we devalue our labor and the labor of our fellow therapists
This one mistake many therapists make when raising fees
Why you need to start having regular CEO dates
My tips on healing your relationship with money

Quote:
“The truth is not that people won't pay that amount of money. The truth is that we are unwilling to do the work so that we could have what we want and we have beliefs about the people who would pay us well for our work.”

April 03, 2023My Journey of Becoming 'The Bad Therapist' [Ep 1]
Hello and welcome to the very first podcast episode of The Bad Therapist Show!
My name is Felicia Keller Boyle and I’m thrilled to have you here with me! I thought the best way to start this podcast would be to share my story of how I went from being the quintessential good therapist to the strongest advocate for mental health workers and therapists. So that's what we will be talking about today.
To be completely honest, when people ask me how I decided to become a therapist, I give them the ‘cute’ version of the story. But with you, my dear podcast listeners, I want to share the ‘real’ version. Tune in to today’s podcast episode to learn more about my journey to becoming a therapist, why I'm so passionate about helping therapists succeed, how my money beliefs held me back for a very long time, and more!
In this episode, I chat about:
How my idea of what it means to be a good therapist dramatically changed over time
The real reason why I decided to become a therapist
My childhood experiences that shaped my money beliefs
What I see a lot of therapists struggling with
Why I am so passionate about creating better working conditions for mental health workers and therapists
How I started building the prototype of my private practice
A free plug and play tool that helps you figure out what you should be charging for your services
The slap in the face that made me realize I needed to start dealing with money instead of avoiding it

“Meaningful work has to be really, really hard. If you have a job, it's pleasurable and you're making more than enough money, then something must be wrong. You must be one of the bad guys, or at least that was how I thought of it.”

Whether you're growing a solo practice, leading a group practice, or building revenue streams beyond the therapy room, you'll learn how to think like a CEO, scale sustainably, and build a business that supports your life—not the other way around.

👉🏽How do I raise my rates with confidence?

👉🏽How do I grow my income beyond one-to-one therapy?
