How to Increase Income in Private Practice
Ok... let's start by saying this: Private practice is not a get rich quick scheme. This article isn't about making 40k in 2 days, or being salesy, sketchy, or unethical in the name of building your private practice.
But, some of you are struggling financially. And that struggle is making it difficult or impossible to maintain being in private practice and working with the clients who desperately need you. Or, at the very least... not making a decent income is making you seriously question your life's work, or making you feel burnt out and exhausted and sucking the joy out of the work that you love. You might need to make some changes and some decisions to get money flowing in your practice in a more meaningful way. And let's be honest- you might need to happen relatively quickly.

Private Practice Success Stories in 2019: What is Working in Private Practice NOW?
10 years ago when Kelly and I started helping therapists grow private practices there was next to no information online. Everything was behind membership sites or required expensive coaching to access. In the last 10 years the resources for therapists in private practices have exploded!
In one sense we are SO happy about that! We LOVE that therapists can access so much great content anytime they need it. But now, what we are hearing from therapists is that they are getting TOO much information. They need to discern what information makes sense for them and their unique practices.
