Episode #764: When You're the Only Clinician in the Building
Episode #763: Shrinking an Overfull Practice
In today's episode, I'm strategizing with Abundance Party member Jessica about getting her caseload down to 25 clients — who stays, who gets referred out, & whether group therapy makes sense for her practice. We get into a client whose relationship behavior is ethically complicated enough that she needs someone who specializes in ethical non-monogamy. And we talk through Jessica's second business: the marketing clarity it needs before it needs anything else, & why letting it grow at the right …
Episode #762: Consult Calls Freak You Out? This Is What’s Really Happening
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith, Limitless Practice grad and Team Abundance consultant, to talk about the imposter syndrome spiral that hits right before a consult call. We get into why it shows up even after years of experience, the mindset shift that actually helps, and why proving yourself on a consult call is the fastest way to lose the client. We also talk about what your potential client is really looking for when they call, how to make them feel heard instead of in…
Episode #761: Know Your Numbers, feat. Sean Yang
Sean Yang, founder of Practices.fyi, joins the podcast to talk about the business numbers therapists often ignore and why tracking the right metrics can change everything. The conversation covers the difference between reacting to problems versus actually understanding your practice, which data points matter most for growth, and how better visibility leads to better decisions.

Episode #760: Afraid to Narrow Your Niche? Here’s What Actually Happens
In today’s Ask Abundance, I’m joined by Limitless Practice grad and Team Abundance consultant Rebecca Smith to talk about the fear almost every therapist has when building a private practice: “What if my niche is too narrow?” We get into why broad, vague marketing makes it harder for clients to choose you, how niching actually increases trust and perceived expertise, and why the best niche is usually less about strategy and more about what genuinely lights you up. We also talk about the differ…
Episode #579: Marketing EMDR Therapy, feat. Lilly Risch
Lilly Risch, LCSW, joins the podcast to talk about marketing EMDR therapy and what it actually looks like to attract clients who are the right fit. The conversation gets into why explaining EMDR to the public feels so uniquely challenging, how leading with symptoms like anxiety instead of trauma can change everything, and what it takes to build a caseload that's both full and sustainable. Lilly shares her own experience growing a group practice in Milwaukee, along with practical wa…
Episode #758: Your Practice Is “Successful”… So Why Does It Feel So Flat?
In today’s Ask Abundance, I’m joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we’re talking about something a lot of therapists quietly wrestle with after they’ve “made it” in private practice: what happens when the practice is working… but you’re not excited anymore. We get into the weird grief of realizing the thing you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the dream, why burnout is often less about your job and more about a life that’s gotten too small, and how to star…
Episode #757: New Therapist, New Practice
In today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with Abundance Party member Liz about building a private practice from the ground up, including how to move through the early uncertainty of getting clients and setting sustainable fees. We dig into raising rates, marketing to other therapists, and shaping a website that clearly reflects a niche in trauma and personality disorders like BPD in a more psychoeducational way.

Episode #756: Why You Feel Guilty Charging Private Pay (Even When You Know Your Worth)
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something most therapists feel but rarely admit: the guilt that shows up the moment you say your rate out loud. We get into why you can believe in your worth completely and still feel it in the room, why you might be making financial decisions on behalf of clients who never asked you to, and what it actually means to put a real offer out there and let it land.
