Is it Time to Raise Your Rates?
A lot of therapists wait to raise their rates at the “right time”, and truthfully it’s always the right time but imposter syndrome always tells us the opposite. So when do you raise your rates?
There are three major milestones you can use to gauge when to raise your fees. And no. Those milestones don’t involve someone dancing on your lawn with a huge sign that says “TIME TO RAISE YOUR FEES”.

I want everyone reading (or watching, or listening) to know that there isn't a right or wrong here. You must set policies in your practice that you've thought through & that you'll uphold.
As a parent, I can confirm that things don…

Let’s talk about what would make private practice a bad fit for someone.
If you have no job or a job you have to get out of ASAP and no savings, and no way to pay your bills, now may not be the best time. St…

Is There a Niche Gray Area?
One of the questions I get most frequently is, Do I Have to Have a Niche? And I usually come down on the side of pro-niche. Here’s why:
