The Fee-Setting Conversation in Private Practice with Lisabeth

Episode 12

jeudi 23 mars 2023 • Duration 31:13

When Lisabeth first joined Business School for Therapists, she viewed money as a scarcity and was taking any client she could get, even when it intuitively wasn’t a good fit. But over the past few years, she’s transformed her private practice into one that better supports her needs and is much more aligned.

In this episode of Starting a Private Practice, Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer coach Lisabeth on setting and talking about her session fee in a way that supports her financial goals AND gives potential clients space to share their own wants and needs in the conversation.

There’s also some much-needed body scanning to connect in with the mind and body on a deeper level. Because how you feel in private practice — whether it’s around money conversations or something else entirely — is essential to your well-being.

How to Get Paid in Private Practice

Episode 10

jeudi 9 mars 2023 • Duration 34:52

Your private practice finances are a non-negotiable part of being a business owner. And at the same time, you don’t need to be stuck ruminating over the same money concerns forever.

In this episode of Starting a Private Practice, Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer talk about how to get paid as a therapist in private practice, covering both the do’s and the don’ts.

You want to build a business that’s a reflection of YOUR wants and needs, not anyone else’s. Sustainability looks different for everyone, and it’s okay if a successful practice means more (or even less) take-home, after-tax income.

jeudi 9 février 2023 • Duration 48:13

Your body and mind let you know what’s working and what needs some adjusting in life and business… and yet, therapists are taught — even encouraged — to ignore how they’re feeling physically and mentally and keep pushing forward.

In this episode of Starting a Private Practice, Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer help Jane evaluate the reality of her current workload and move toward a future where she can thrive in business without burning out.

Building a Balanced Private Practice (Q&As)

Episode 5

jeudi 2 février 2023 • Duration 28:35

Creating a private practice where you support your clients, take care of any behind-the-scenes business tasks, and still have space for your personal life and relationships requires a regular honest assessment of your available time and energy.

It’s okay to reduce your caseload, outsource the things that drain you, and reevaluate what’s most important to you in life and private practice. Because your well-being is a priority.

In this episode of Starting a Private Practice, Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer answer questions you have about full-time practice and how to create reasonable expectations.

Remember: Your schedule is about more than the clients you serve. It’s about all the parts of running a business and how you can integrate them in a way that supports your long-term physical and mental health.
