Hey... We never had business training, so it makes sense. : (\nHow many times have you answered a phone call from a potential client and said \"My rate is 150, but my sliding scale is 30-150?\" Your own anxiety caused you to immediately offer a sliding scale without being asked for one.\nThe mental health profession is crucial, necessary, and undervalued. We as a profession tend to be our own worst enemies when understanding the value that we offer.\nWe all have our own money traumas, fears, cultural narratives...\nAs a therapist and entrepreneur who used to have a GIGANTIC gambling addiction, money has always been triggering.\nWhether you are saying...\n\nYou don't deserve to make money\n\nYou don't get into this field to make money\n\nTalking about money makes me uncomfortable\n\nCharging money goes against my values\n\n\nIf you're a licensed therapist, then you have...\n\nAt least a masters degree\n\nThousands of hours towards your licensure\n\nContinuing ed hours\n\nStudent loan debt\n\nThousands of supervision hours\n\n\nYet you still can't understand that your time is valuable. We don't charge for 60-minute increments of our time. We charge for the transformation.\nIf you're still reading this, ask yourself how much you spend on your own self-care and what it does for you?\nMost people say something like \"I spend $100/week on a massage + tip.\" \n\nIt makes me feel relaxed\n\nIt's my me-time\n\nIt's self-care\n\nIt helps with pain and anxiety\n\n\nAs therapists, we offer ^^^ and muchhhhhhhhhhhhh more.\nLet's start to understand that we are allowed to charge fees, enforce cancellations and no-shows, and more importantly, MAKE MONEY AND HELP PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY!\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fSpotify: atppod.com/spotify\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fApple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fGoogle Podcasts: atppod.com/google\n\ud83d\udde8\ufe0f Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding\n----------------------------\nMentioned in this episode:\nA Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!\nI would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand. Go to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice and sign up for a free 14-day trial. When you do, you'll get your first month free. And don't forget to ask about our iPad list check-in option.\nVisit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/be35a276-f723-4971-a940-d460fd26cbae/60854458c4d1acdf4e1c2f79c4137142d85d78e379bdafbd69bd34c85f5819ad.jpg"}
