Ep 115: 4 Private Practice Rules You Need to Break

from The Therapist Mom Podcast: Launch and Grow Your Private Practice

Private practice comes with a lot of “rules” we’re told to follow. Most of them are unspoken, but deeply ingrained. Work evenings and weekends because that’s when clients are free. A “real” therapist sees people in person. High fees are unethical. And of course, you should never say no to a referral. The problem is that when we follow these without question, we are left feeling burned out, resentful, and stuck in businesses that don’t fit our lives. In this episode, I’m naming and unpacking the four biggest myths that keep therapists, especially women and moms, playing small in private practice. We’ll talk about where these beliefs come from, how they show up in your day-to-day, and what it looks like to finally break free from them. If you’re feeling the pull to make some shifts in your business, consider this your nudge to take that step.
