Therapist Consultation

Consultation meetings provide those who need it with the clarity, direction, and support to build a sustainable, profitable private practice.

Experience and foresight are invaluable. It’s possible to to raise fees and work with best-fit clients who are motivated for treatment.

Therapists who seek consultation are competent and ethical, but they are equally exhausted. It’s not because they are doing the wrong work; rather, it’s because they are overwhelmed and underpaid. Over time, staying underpaid places unnecessary strain on both the therapist and the work itself.

The Impact on Therapists

• Believing in empowerment, but not feeling empowered

• Acquiring degrees and certifications, but facing financial uncertainty

• Appearing well-composed, but internally experiencing fear

• Working long hours, but not reaching income goals

While it’s a frustrating to encounter these challenges over and over again, there is a better way. A simple way.

Consultation for Therapists

Consultation with therapists is about dialogue. It is not psychotherapy, and it is not supervision. It’s designed for clinicians who recognize their value and also sense that becoming comfortable with raising fees is necessary.

With that as a foundation, it’s possible to discuss the role of a human as a therapist, conditioned beliefs about money, fears regarding losing clients, and feeling more confident about increased fees without compromising values.

When appropriate, it’s helpful to assess short and long term decisions around practice structure, time, cancellation policy, boundaries, and capacity. While consultation is not coaching or marketing, it nonetheless leads to self motivated clients who are willing to invest in therapy, time freedom, and greater fulfillment at work and in life.
