Episode #757: New Therapist, New Practice
Yesterday00:29:30Summary readyIn today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with Abundance Party member Liz about building a private practice from the ground up, including how to move through the early uncertainty of getting clients and setting sustainable fees. We dig into raising rates, marketing to other therapists, and shaping a website that clearly reflects a niche in trauma and personality disorders like BPD in a more psychoeducational way.

Episode #756: Why You Feel Guilty Charging Private Pay (Even When You Know Your Worth)
5d ago00:07:57Summary readyIn today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something most therapists feel but rarely admit: the guilt that shows up the moment you say your rate out loud. We get into why you can believe in your worth completely and still feel it in the room, why you might be making financial decisions on behalf of clients who never asked you to, and what it actually means to put a real offer out there and let it land.

Episode #755: What Website Features Actually Get Therapists Clients (& Which Are a Waste)
1w ago00:31:00Summary readyKat Love of katlove.com joins the podcast to talk about therapist websites and what actually gets clients in the door. The conversation gets into why so many therapists spend money on the wrong things, how animations, contact forms, and luxury redesigns aren't what's converting visitors, and what it actually takes to get someone to choose you. Kat breaks down the two jobs your website has to do, getting found and getting chosen, and shares practical guidance on copy, photos, and video. If the goal is to stop wasting resources on features that don't move the needle and actually build a site that works, this is a strong place to start. Attention Abundance Party members: Kat is our trainer this month!

Episode #748: Why You're Counting Down To Time Off
Apr 1100:12:34Summary readyIn today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something a lot of therapists are too burned out to even name: what happens when the practice you built for freedom starts feeling like the thing you need a vacation from. We get into why you might be counting down to cancellations, why your caseload has become the biggest rock in your life, and what it actually looks like to restructure things so your practice fits around your life instead of the other way around. If you started this work to have more freedom and somehow ended up with less, this one's for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
