Sleep, Chronic Pain, and Overcontrol: How Jessica Found Her Niche in Private Practice

In today’s episode, our host Kelly sits down with Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas who’s carved out a thriving solo private practice after years in the hospital and group practice worlds. Jessica opens up about her unconventional journey to entrepreneurship, how she overcame early doubts about running a business, and the personal work she did to reshape her relationship with money. Known for her unique blend of specialties—including sleep issues, chronic pain, PTSD, OCD, and radically open DBT—Jessica shares practical insights on building a specific niche, making the leap from agency to independent work, and finding joy in both clinical and business growth. Whether you’re on the fence about private practice or struggling with your niche, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and the reminder that, as Jessica puts it, “everything is learnable.”---Jessica's Website: jessicafinktherapy.comJoin Us for our upcoming October 7th Webinar - Crossing State Lines in Therapy: A Guide to Staying Legal & Ethical with Ben Caldwell.
