Episode #674: Therapists & Money, feat. Aja Evans
Aja Evans, LMHC joins me in today’s episode to talk about her upcoming book on money in therapy—how it shows up in the room, and why it matters for both therapists and clients. We dig into common financial struggles faced by therapists (especially women), gaps in financial education during grad school, and how social media can distort our sense of financial reality. Aja also shares her take on wealth, class, and power dynamics in the therapy world, plus what she hopes readers take away from the book. We wrap up with a personal chat about housing, future goals, and what’s next for her. Visit ajaevanscounseling.com for Aja's book Feel Good Finance.
