How Can a Therapist Make More Money without Compromising Her Values? Easy. Here’s How.
Increase your therapy income, stop fighting with insurance companies, start focusing on actually helping people.
Straight talk... there is a problem in the therapist community: so many of you are not getting paid enough. And you don't think that being a therapist can ever provide you with an income that lights you up and takes really good care of you.
You're working too many hours. You have too many clients. You're spending hours and hours fighting with insurance companies and dealing with inexplicable denials and clawbacks. You’re too tired to really show up for your clients. And STILL - you're making shit money and justifying it by reminding yourself that you didn't get into this field for the money.
You’re buying into the false narrative that to be an ethical, do-good therapist you have to take insurance, be broke, and work around the clock.
I know it might feel like this is what you signed up for when you became a therapist-a life of sacrificing your own needs because that's what a "good therapist does." Ummmmmm, nope! That is an old, tired line of bullshit that we have been fed for years and I am over it. You CAN make more money as a therapist and still do good work that really helps people. But you can’t do it unless you make a change in your mindset.
You can’t help anyone when you are burned out. Increasing your therapy income allows you to be a higher quality therapist while making more money.
I have spent the last several years talking to therapists who have figured out how to make more money a while doing the work they love and with therapists who are unhappy with their income but think they have no choice but to stay stuck. Believe me, I spent YEARS telling myself that the only way to make more money was to see more clients...so I was seeing 14 people a day and even with that insane number of clients, I still wasn't happy with my income. I finally decided that enough was enough and embarked on a journey to transform my own practice, turning it into a 6-figure business that I fall more in love with every day. And I would love to help you embark on a journey that takes you where you want to be in your practice and in your life.
Recently I had a fantastic experience that made me think that I need to be talking to more people about this topic...
I spent just 45 minutes sharing my money mentorship knowledge with a dear colleague named Moriah and she earned back 300% of what she spent on our session within a single day. Seriously. She went from wondering if she could make her rent that month to realizing SHE was the thing standing in the way of her financial success, and immediately made changes to get out of her own way.
Often what it takes for a therapist to make more money is a radical change in mindset.
Think that sounds impossible? Wrong! Very often the thing stopping us from making the changes we need to make to increase income is our own mindset. The block is literally in our heads. When you can unlock the block in your mind, you can start to make changes that can literally transform your life.
It makes me sad to hear of therapists who hustle and sacrifice and slide their fee all over the place when it isn't supporting their life or their business. There is a better way.
If you are not THRIVING in your therapy practice, I want to talk to you. Let me help you make more money like I helped Moriah.
