The Abundant Practice Podcast & Blog Spot!

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Halina, who's weighing whether to stay in her current office or move closer to home as her lease comes up for renewal. We talk through the real trade offs of commuting versus working from home, why her beloved office community & layout matter more than shaving a few minutes off the drive, & how to think through a big decision like this with questions about regret & what feels like the next evolution of your practice instead of just cha…

You're a therapist and a parent of young kids & you feel like you're failing at both. You're not alone & there is a way through. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Between us we've raised four kids in private practice. We're getting into what actually makes this work, why it mostly comes down to your fee and your schedule, & why you have more control over this than you think.

In today's episode, I chat with Susan Saint-Rossy, LCSW, LICSW, a couples therapist who helps other couples therapists build their practices, about the nuances that make marketing to couples so different from marketing to individuals. We dig into writing to two buyers at once (who often have different agendas), why niching within a niche means describing the relational dynamic you love working with, why couples usually find you in an act of desperation rather than through a friend's referral, …

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Jo-Ann, who niches in women diagnosed later in life with ADHD, about why her marketing isn't quite matching her ideal client yet. We talk through why networking with psychiatric practices & testing psychologists is worth doubling down on since it's already working for her, why YouTube & Instagram may not be the right fit unless she genuinely loves creating content, & how to speak directly to her ideal client's daily overwhelm (aging parent…

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Heather, who's three years into private practice, full at 25-27 clients a week, but working harder than she wants to. We dig into why increasing her private pay visibility, raising her rate, & taking insurance off her website will move the needle way more than hiring a clinician, subleasing office space, or building a course. We also talk about sliding scale and why it's worth sitting with what you actually want for your practice inste…

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're chatting about filling your practice & hating your schedule. Turns out you're more stuck in your head than in your actual situation, it's codependency not logistics, & there's absolutely a way to fix it without blowing everything up. We get into what that actually looks like & why so many full therapists stay stuck way longer than they need to. 

I chat with Abundance Party member Zack about reorienting his practice while grieving the loss of his father, covering when to raise rates versus focus on networking, why discovery call no-shows are becoming more common, using AI search tools to get found by ideal clients, and why personal relationships will always beat VC-backed platforms on referrals.

In today's Ask Abundance, me and Rebecca Smith, Ph.D. are talking about what to do when you're seeing 32 clients a week and can feel yourself burning out. Rebecca's been there too, and she walks through the exact math that got her from 35 sessions a week down to 20 without losing income. We get into raising your rates, why more clients stay private pay than you'd think, and the number that actually makes reducing your caseload realistic.
