How to Charge Like a Six Figure Therapist Live Event  https://learn.leaninmakebank.com/how-to-charge-like-a-six-figure-therapist-live/ In this live online training event, you'll get crystal clear about how to talk fees ethically and fairly - in a way that honors you and your clients - as we head into your Fall Fee Raise conversations.  About the Episode: In this episode, we're speaking with Kirsten Cheong, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who helps high achieving women overcome people pleasing. After receiving a sudden financial hit, Kirsten realized she had to get real about the financial aspects of her private practice. In doing so, she discovered the ways her people pleasing tendencies had interfered with her professional success and her ability to truly help her clients. She decided to make a massive change.  In this episode, Kirsten will share: How she went from agency work to private practice (with help from a LIMB stranger); How she came to realize that insurance panels were NOT the "path of least resistance" she initially thought they would be; What it feels like to take the leap from insurance to private pay when most of her clients are on insurance; How her clinical work has changed as a result of her willingness to do the hard work of owning her financial needs. What it was like to book her first $220 session, after years of negligible insurance reimbursements. Resources mentioned: The Lean In. MAKE BANK.
