How Saying No to Clients Doubled Erin's Income to $14K/Month in 3 Months [Ep 148]

What if raising your therapy fees and saying no to clients more often could actually double your private practice income? That's exactly what happened to Erin Cantor, a play therapist in New York City who went from $8,000 to $14,000 per month in just three months of being in my signature program, Liberated Business.In this episode, I’m chatting with Erin about the specific changes she made that led to her rapid growth, why she requires three parent sessions before working with any child, and how learning to say no to clients became her biggest marketing strategy. Erin got ruthlessly clear about which cases to accept, raised her fees without apologizing, and implemented a firm cancellation policy faster than most therapists would dare. And the wild part? Her clients thanked her for it.If you've ever felt guilty about turning away potential clients or wondered whether you're charging enough for your expertise, this conversation will shift something for you. Erin's story proves that building a private practice on your terms isn't just possible; it's profitable.More about Erin Cantor:Erin Cantor, M.A., MSW, LCSW is a child play therapist and adolescent, adult and family psychotherapist working in private practice in New York City.
