The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

View Details

SEO is changing faster than ever, and what worked even a year ago might already be outdated. In this episode, I'm joined once again by SEO expert Kristie Plantinga to unpack what therapists actually need to know about ranking online in 2026. We dive into the rise of AI search, whether AI optimization (AIO) is really different from SEO, and why therapists may have more of an advantage than they realize as tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews continue to shape how potential clients find providers.

We also talk about what strategies are still worth your time, what advice has become outdated, and why Google Business Profiles may now be one of the highest leverage marketing tools available. Kristie shares her thoughts on blogging in the age of AI, how to position yourself as the go to expert in your niche, and why being known for one specific thing matters more than ever. If you've been wondering where to focus your marketing efforts without wasting time on tactics that no longer work, this conversation will give you clarity and direction.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

4:48 - Why ChatGPT is recommending private practices over big tech companies
10:45 - The biggest SEO priorities therapists should focus on right now
14:20 - Why your Google Business Profile may matter more than your website
16:55 - What Google actually rewards in an AI driven world
18:10 - Is blogging still worth your time in 2026?
21:00 - The search terms and specialties therapists should be targeting
23:00 - How becoming known for one thing can transform your visibility

How did a simple one hour workshop turn into an $8,000 revenue day? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most unexpected launches I've ever had and break down exactly what happened, what I think made it successful, and what I'd do differently next time. I share why I finally stepped outside my comfort zone to talk numbers, how a spontaneous idea from a coffee shop became a profitable offer, and why understanding my audience mattered far more than having the perfect launch strategy.

I also dig into the bigger lessons this experience taught me about marketing in today's AI driven landscape. We talk about creating low ticket offers that genuinely solve a pressing problem, why I trusted my instincts instead of asking for permission, how simple marketing outperformed overcomplicated strategies, and why being willing to pivot may be one of the most valuable business skills you can develop.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

6:45 - The surprising ingredient that made people buy immediately
9:58 - Why I stopped asking for validation before launching new ideas
13:41 - The simple marketing strategy that outperformed my expectations
17:36 - What today's online buyers are actually looking for
20:51 - The failed workshop that completely changed my perspective
23:58 - An email from one therapist that reshaped my entire mission
25:47 - The seven hour breakdown behind an $8,000 launch

If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to launch something new, simplify your offers, or adapt your business to the changing AI landscape, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

Money stress doesn't have to be the price of running a successful therapy practice. In this episode, I sit down with Profit First expert and therapist bookkeeper Andrea Rotondo to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of private practice: creating a financial system that gives you clarity instead of constant anxiety.

We unpack how the Profit First framework works specifically for therapists, why simply looking at your bank balance can be misleading, and how organizing your money with intention can help you prepare for taxes, annual expenses, payroll, vacations, and future growth without the last minute panic.

We also discuss the difference between paying yourself and earning true profit as a business owner, why even starting with just 1% can make a meaningful difference, and how building healthy financial systems can create more freedom, confidence, and sustainability in both your business and your personal life.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:18 - Why so many therapists avoid their finances and what it may be costing them
6:08 - The real meaning behind the Profit First philosophy and why it is not about putting money before people
10:45 - The simple bank account system that can completely change how you view your business finances
14:32 - How often you should move money and why timing matters more than you think
17:42 - The financial habit that can help you finally feel in control of your practice
20:12 - Why your profit account should never be confused with your paycheck
21:58 - The surprisingly simple way to start implementing Profit First without overwhelming yourself
24:08 - How quarterly profit distributions can become one of the most rewarding parts of owning a practice

The biggest wins in business don't always tell the whole story. In this quarter two review, I'm pulling back the curtain on what the last three months actually looked like behind the scenes, from hosting my first retreat and traveling to multiple business events to refining my Scale Up Mastermind, experimenting with Instagram ads, and preparing for new opportunities. I'm sharing what paid off, what I'd approach differently, and why moving quickly, even when things aren't perfect, became my theme for the quarter.

I'm also opening up about the personal challenges that existed alongside those business milestones. I talk about balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, navigating family addiction, the toll of compartmentalizing difficult emotions, and why I'm prioritizing nervous system regulation over simply chasing more growth.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:10 - Why "move fast and break things" became my guiding philosophy for Q2
5:45 - The behind the scenes changes I'm making to my Scale Up Mastermind
10:30 - What taking my daughter to a business conference unexpectedly taught me about success
14:55 - The biggest lessons from hosting my very first in person retreat
18:20 What was happening behind the scenes while business appeared to be thriving
21:05 - Why I'm investing in EMDR and focusing on nervous system regulation this summer
23:10 - My early results with Instagram ads and what's changing in my marketing strategy
24:40 - The mindset I'm taking into the second half of the year

Ready to get paid to speak? In this episode, I'm joined by returning guest Gabrielle Juliano-Villani to talk about one of the most overlooked ways therapists can diversify their income and expand their impact through paid speaking.

Gabrielle also shares her own journey from scaling and selling a seven figure group practice to building a business centered around consulting, retreats, education, and speaking.

6:48 - The surprising first step Gabrielle took despite being terrified of public speaking

More importantly, I'm talking about how I decide what's actually worth my time, money, and energy, and why every investment has to support the life and business I'm trying to build.

I also dive into the lessons I've learned while growing my team, experimenting with Meta ads, and creating a business that doesn't constantly leave me running on empty.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

6:42 - The team structure that completely changed how I run my business
10:08 - The leadership lesson that transformed how I onboard new hires
13:04 - Why building a business that supports your nervous system matters more than hustling harder

What if your next high-paying client finds you through AI before they ever visit your website?

In this episode, I share a personal experience that completely reinforced what I've been teaching therapists about marketing and visibility. After deciding to invest in an EMDR intensive for myself, I turned to ChatGPT to help me find a provider.

What happened next revealed just how dramatically the client journey is changing. I walk you through the search process, the differences between the practices I contacted, and why some therapists are getting recommended while others are being overlooked. This conversation explores what AI search means for private practice owners and why the traditional marketing playbook may not be enough moving forward.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

4:18 - The unexpected experiment that changed how I think about therapist marketing
7:42 - Why one practice earned my attention before I ever spoke to a clinician
9:55 - The client behavior shift that therapists can no longer afford to ignore
12:07 - A simple question every private practice owner should ask themselves right now
14:31 - The surprising places AI is pulling recommendations from
16:48 - A marketing advantage many therapists are overlooking
18:52 - The reason niche practices may have an edge in AI search
20:36 - The trust signals that could influence who gets recommended and who doesn't

If you're looking to get help with making sure your practice is showing up in ChatGPT this year, join me for my one-time, live workshop on Tuesday, June 30th at 12PM Et/ 9AM Pt. A recording will be provided if you're away during that time.

You'll learn my 3- Hour Weekly Marketing Framework.

In just one hour together, we'll demystify what to actually focus on:

Map out exactly how to spend 3 focused hours a week on marketing (so it doesn't take over your life)
Learn the priority order: foundation, content, then community signals
Walk through real examples of therapists doing this well

What if the thing holding back your business growth has nothing to do with your business at all? In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage House, to explore a concept that is gaining traction among ambitious women and entrepreneurs: the house manager. We unpack what a house manager actually does, how the role differs from a nanny or family assistant, and why so many high-achieving professionals are realizing that support at home can be just as important as support in the workplace.

If you've ever felt stretched thin by the invisible labor of running a household, this conversation will challenge the way you think about delegation, productivity, and capacity.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

5:48 - What a house manager actually does day to day
8:37 - Why household support is becoming the next big conversation for working women
11:12 - The systems that make a house manager successful long term

What happens when a client says, "I don't want to be here anymore," and you're the only clinician in the room?

In this important conversation, I sit down with therapist and former ER mental health clinician Maria Winters to discuss one of the most challenging situations therapists can face: assessing and responding to suicidal ideation in private practice. Drawing from 12 years of experience in emergency psychiatry, Maria shares what therapists often misunderstand about suicide risk, why asking direct questions matters, and how to distinguish between suicidal thoughts and an active crisis. We talk through intent, plans, access to means, substance use, emergency petitions, hospitalization decisions, and what actually happens after a client arrives at the emergency room.

This episode is especially relevant for therapists in private practice, group practice owners, and clinicians who want to feel more confident navigating high-risk situations. We also discuss common fears around liability, when to involve crisis response teams or law enforcement, and why ongoing training in suicide assessment is something every therapist should prioritize. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or early in your career, this conversation offers practical insight into having life-saving conversations with greater confidence and clinical clarity.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

3:35 - Why many clients never disclose suicidal thoughts unless they're directly asked
6:45 - The critical difference between suicidal ideation, intent, and planning
9:10 - What therapists often misunderstand about when hospitalization is actually necessary
12:50 - How ER clinicians evaluate risk once a client arrives at the hospital
27:05 - What therapists should know about HIPAA during psychiatric emergencies

If this episode gave you a new perspective or helped you feel more prepared as a clinician, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a colleague. These conversations help us become more confident, ethical, and effective therapists, and your support helps bring them to more clinicians who need them.

Note: If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis please call 988 or go to your local emergency room. For more resources on how to get help please check out https://988helpline.org/

Building a successful business while navigating grief, burnout, and uncertainty is not something we talk about enough. In this episode, I sit down with therapist, creator, and founder of Parenting the Anxious Child, Robyn Isman, for an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to grow a business during one of the hardest seasons of life. We talk about building an audience from scratch, creating digital offers as a therapist, scaling beyond one to one work, and the emotional reality of entrepreneurship that social media rarely shows.

Robyn opens up about growing her platform while caring for her mother during the final months of her life, the identity shifts that come with becoming a creator, and why "passive income" is rarely passive.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

11:08 - The emotional cost of building an audience online
15:27 - Why Robyn's membership did not feel as "passive" as she expected
18:44 - The difference between one to one work and one to many offers
21:36 - The mindset shift that completely changed how she views launches
24:18 - Why experienced therapists still feel imposter syndrome when starting something new
26:40 - The advice every therapist entrepreneur needs to hear before scaling

Whether you are dreaming about launching your first offer, building multiple income streams, or simply trying to hold onto yourself while building something meaningful, this episode will make you feel far less alone.

Everything changes when therapists finally have a safety net. In this episode, I sit down with Jeanine Rousso, founder of the Therapist Resource Network, to talk about a resource I truly believe every therapist needs to know about. We dive into the reality so many clinicians are quietly facing financial instability, burnout, and what happens when life throws something unexpected your way. I share why this conversation matters so deeply to me and how having support in those hardest seasons can change everything about how we show up in our work and our lives.

Jeanine opens up about the personal experiences and industry gaps that led her to build a nonprofit dedicated to supporting therapists through crises, from natural disasters to personal emergencies. We talk about the realities of therapist income, the emotional weight of this profession, and what it actually looks like to receive support when you need it most. If you have ever wondered what happens when a therapist needs help, how to prepare your practice for the unexpected, or how we can advocate for more sustainable careers in this field, this episode is one you will not want to miss.

If you've ever hit a point where you just want to burn it all down, this episode is going to feel like someone finally understands what you've been experiencing. I walk you through what's really happening during the luteal phase when your business suddenly feels heavy, frustrating, or completely out of alignment. I share why that urge to quit, burn it down, or disappear isn't random or dramatic, but often a powerful signal pointing to deeper structural issues in your business and the way it's currently relying on you.

I also coach you through how to navigate those intense days without making impulsive decisions you might regret later. We explore how hormones amplify what's already there, how burnout and over-functioning show up in sneaky ways, and how to start building a business that doesn't collapse every 30 days. If you've ever questioned yourself, your capacity, or your business during this phase, this episode will help you separate truth from temporary emotion and start making more supportive, sustainable shifts.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:10 - Why the urge to "burn it all down" isn't actually the problem
4:25 - The hidden business structure issue most women overlook
6:40 - What your luteal phase is trying to reveal to you
9:15 - The difference between intuition and hormonal amplification
11:30 - Signs your business is relying too heavily on you
13:50 - How burnout quietly builds across your cycle
16:05 - A simple way to respond instead of react in the moment
18:20 - The long-term shift that changes everything

If this episode hits home, don't just listen and move on. Save it, come back to it during your next luteal phase, and start noticing what patterns are repeating for you. Then take one small step toward building a business that actually supports you through every phase, not just the easy ones.

Stop chasing algorithms and start building a marketing engine that actually works for you. In this episode, I sit down with Liz Zhou, therapist turned website designer and copywriter, to unpack what's really driving client inquiries in 2026. We dive into why SEO is more than just a buzzword and how your website serves as the foundation of your entire marketing ecosystem. I explore the often-overlooked gap between getting traffic and actually converting that traffic into paying clients, and Liz shares how therapists can create websites that not only rank but resonate.

We also get real about the highs and lows of social media growth, including Liz's experience going viral and the burnout that followed. I ask the questions so many of you are wondering: Do you actually need Instagram to grow your practice? What happens if you step away? And how can you create a more sustainable, long-term marketing strategy that doesn't rely on constant posting? From niching down and refining your messaging to designing a neurodivergent-friendly website that speaks clearly to your ideal client, this episode will challenge the way you think about marketing your practice.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

3:12 - Why SEO is the true foundation of sustainable marketing
6:45 - The hidden reason your website isn't converting clients
10:28 - What really happens when you go viral as a therapist
14:02 - The burnout behind social media growth no one talks about
17:36 - How to step away from Instagram without losing inquiries
20:11 - The three pillars every high-converting website needs
23:07 - Subtle copywriting shifts that instantly make your site stand out
25:40 - How to design a website that works for different types of brains

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burnt out trying to keep up with marketing trends, this episode will open your eyes to a more grounded and effective approach. Tune in and start building a marketing system that supports your practice instead of draining it.

What happens when massive growth finally hits… and you're more exhausted than excited? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and walking you through a completely unfiltered behind-the-scenes look at my Quarter 1 experience… what worked, what surprised me, and what stretched me more than I expected. From multiple launches in a 90-day sprint to navigating real-life challenges happening at the exact same time, I'm sharing the honest reality of what it takes to grow a business quickly without burning out.

I also dive into the strategies, mindset shifts, and unexpected wins that shaped this quarter… from selling out my first-ever in-person retreat with ease, to refining my approach to launches, to experimenting with Instagram growth in a way that actually moved the needle. Along the way, I'm asking bigger questions about what it really takes to scale sustainably, especially as a woman balancing business, life, and everything in between. If you've ever wondered how to grow without sacrificing yourself in the process, or how to navigate momentum when life doesn't slow down, this episode will give you a whole new perspective.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

2:15 - Why rapid growth can feel just as challenging as slow seasons
6:40 - The surprising launch that completely changed my perspective on selling
11:20 - What actually limits your ability to scale (hint: it's not strategy)
15:05 - A major mindset shift around capacity that most people overlook
18:30 - Behind-the-scenes of a launch that almost didn't happen
22:10 - How I grew my audience (without going viral)
24:45 - What real life interruptions taught me about resilience in business
27:30 - The intentional shift I'm making in Quarter 2 and why it matters

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to stay connected and keep learning alongside me. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss what's coming next, especially as I head into Quarter 2 with a completely different focus and bring you along for the journey.

In part two of my conversation with Christi Underwood, we move beyond the basics and dive into what really matters once your ads are live. I walk through the exact metrics you should be paying attention to, how to tell if your ads are worth the investment, and the subtle signs that something needs to shift before you waste more money.

We also get honest about the realities of tracking in today's privacy-first world, what to do when conversions feel unclear, and how to think about your ad strategy as your practice grows and evolves. From understanding clicks, impressions, and conversion rates to knowing when to refresh or pause your ads entirely, this episode will help you stop guessing and start making confident, data-driven decisions about your marketing.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:10 - The first metric I always check to quickly gauge ad performance
4:35 - The "good" daily click range most therapists should aim for
6:20 - Why conversions are harder to track now and what to do instead
9:15 - The hidden tradeoff between better tracking and better user experience
12:05 - How keyword costs fluctuate and what that means for your budget
14:40 - What impression share actually tells you about your visibility

This might be the uncomfortable truth that's quietly holding you back more than anything else. In this episode, I want to cover a topic no one really talks about. So many of us are silently navigating what it actually feels like when the people closest to you do not understand, support, or believe in your vision. This is so much more common than you think, though. Too often, family, partners, or friends question your ambition, your pricing, and your dreams. We dive into the emotional weight of feeling misunderstood and why chasing validation from the wrong people can keep you stuck longer than any strategy ever will.

I also walk you through the mindset shifts and practical tools that changed everything for me. This episode will help you separate love from alignment and give you permission to expand beyond the ceilings you were raised around. If you've ever felt torn between your vision and the expectations of others, this conversation will hit deep and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

1:12 - Why lack of support from family hits deeper than you expect
3:45 - The subtle ways people project their own limits onto your dreams
6:20 - What actually changes when you stop seeking their approval
8:10 - The hidden pressure to "prove them wrong" and why it backfires
10:05 - A powerful mindset shift that instantly creates emotional separation
12:30 - How to stop carrying other people's opinions like they are yours
14:15 - The "board of directors" concept and how it changes your decisions
16:40 - Why who you take advice from determines how far you go

I want you to take a moment and really sit with where this might be showing up in your life right now. And if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe and leave a review it truly helps get this message into the hands of more women who are ready to step into bigger lives, even when not everyone around them understands it.

If you've ever wondered whether Google Ads are the missing piece in growing your private practice, this episode might completely change how you think about them. In this conversation, I sit down with Christi Underwood to break down what therapists actually need in place before spending a single dollar on ads and why jumping in too early can end up costing you more than it helps. We unpack the foundational pieces most people skip, from your online presence to your lead management systems, and why these elements make or break your results.

We also get into the real numbers and expectations behind Google Ads so you can make smart, informed decisions for your practice. Christi shares what a realistic starting budget looks like, how long it takes to know if your ads are working, and the biggest mistakes therapists make when trying to DIY their campaigns. Whether you are brand new to ads or already experimenting with them, this episode will help you think more strategically about when, why, and how to use Google Ads to actually fill your caseload.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

2:15 - What most therapists misunderstand about starting Google Ads
5:40 - The non-negotiables you need before running ads
9:10 - A realistic starting budget and what your money is actually doing
13:25 - How quickly you can tell if your ads are working
16:50 - The difference between clicks, leads, and real clients
19:30 - When ads work best (and when they don't) depending on your niche
22:10 - Why solo practitioners might benefit more than group practices
24:00 - The hidden systems that determine whether your leads convert

If you've been on the fence about Google Ads or unsure whether you're truly ready to invest in them, this episode will give you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Tune in, take notes, and start thinking about how to build a marketing strategy that actually supports the growth of your practice instead of draining your time and money.

Are you so busy running your business that you never stop to clean it up?

In this episode, I'm sharing the exact spring cleaning process I'm doing inside my own businesses right now and why this behind-the-scenes work can dramatically impact your revenue this year.

3:12 - The overlooked legal audit most therapists avoid (and why it matters more than you think)

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Buduris to pull back the curtain on her journey to crossing the seven-figure mark as a therapist and business owner. We talk about how she built a thriving practice centered around therapy intensives, why she leaned heavily into SEO instead of social media early on, and how a consulting business naturally grew from therapists asking, "How are you doing this?" Amanda shares what it looked like to evolve from simply wanting to replace her old salary to realizing the massive potential that existed inside her practice model.

We also dive into the real lessons that came with scaling. Amanda opens up about the importance of building the right team, the pressure many entrepreneurs feel to constantly create new offers, and how simplifying her business actually helped it grow faster. We explore the mindset challenges that come with visibility, handling criticism online, and learning how to balance ambition with a nervous system that doesn't always want to slow down. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to scale while protecting your energy and your life outside of work, this conversation will give you an honest behind-the-scenes look.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

3:12 - The unexpected business model that helped Amanda scale her practice
6:48 - How therapy intensives changed the revenue potential of her private practice
9:55 - The moment she realized seven figures might actually be possible
13:27 - The team investment that made scaling sustainable instead of overwhelming
16:41 - The mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to grow faster
18:59 - What happens when visibility online brings criticism with it
21:04 - The surprising challenge that showed up after success
22:15 - Why learning to tolerate "slower" seasons became part of her growth

Is SEO actually dead… or are we just playing by outdated rules?

In this episode, I'm interrupting our seven-figure series to talk about something that feels urgent: the massive shifts happening in SEO and AI search and what they mean for you as a therapist in private practice. I break down why SEO isn't dead (despite what the internet is screaming), but it is very different than it was even a year ago. We're no longer just talking about showing up on Google. Now we're navigating visibility on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Claude, Google, and Bing. I'll explain the big pivot away from "content is king" and toward something much more powerful in 2026: legitimacy, credibility, and topical authority.

I also walk you through three practical shifts you can implement quickly (without writing 1,500-word blogs twice a week) to help you show up in AI searches and attract more private-pay clients. We'll talk about zero-click searches, why your Google Business Profile and directory bios matter more than ever, and how to structure your website so AI tools actually recommend you. My intention with this episode is to show you exactly where to focus next.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

3:12 - Why "SEO is dead" is a dramatic myth (and what's actually changing)
5:48 - The real reason "content is king" no longer applies in the AI era
8:10 -The credibility shift that gives therapists a major competitive advantage
10:27 - A simple website update that can dramatically improve AI visibility
12:02 - How clients are actually searching in tools like ChatGPT now
14:11 - What "zero-click searches" mean for your marketing strategy
16:05 - The overlooked sections of your online presence that now carry the most weight

Join me Wednesday, March 11th at 1PM EST for a free masterclass on How To Make Your Private Practice Impossible To Miss In 2026

I'll walk you step-by-step on how to get your Private Practice to show up in Google search + ChatGPT using beginner-friendly SEO tools and AI hacks you can implement in minutes, plus community marketing that is a MUST in 2026.

What if the real reason you haven't scaled your practice isn't strategy… but capacity?

In this episode, I'm covering the piece no one talks about in the seven-figure conversation: your energy. We can learn marketing. We can master systems. We can hire and scale. But if you don't have the time, space, and nervous system regulation to implement what you already know, you will stay stuck. I share the hard statistics around female entrepreneurs and therapists hitting major revenue milestones, and why doing what "everyone else" is doing simply won't get you there. I also walk you through the mindset shift that changed everything for me after a season of grief, burnout, and realizing I was living in the wrong story.

I break down the practical and personal shifts that helped me expand my capacity. I'll challenge you to look at what you're holding outside of work, what you're doing out of obligation instead of alignment, and why managing your life like a seven-figure therapist has to happen before you become one. If you want to scale without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sanity, this is the episode that will change how you think about growth.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

3:42 - The uncomfortable statistics that might just fuel your next level
7:15 - Why knowing "how" isn't your real problem
10:28 - The 48-hour exercise that exposes what's actually draining you
14:03 - The delegation shifts that buy back more time than you think
16:47 - What high-level female founders are doing behind closed doors
19:12 - The hidden ROI of protecting your health

If this episode stirred something in you, I urge you to take action. Start the audit. Have the hard conversation. Trial the support. Decide you're no longer available for the version of success that costs you your well-being. And if this resonated, DM me and let me know what hit home - I'd love to hear what you're shifting as you step into your next level.

What if the only thing standing between you and a seven figure practice is the belief that you're allowed to have one?

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Harris, author of The Wealthy Therapist, to go behind the scenes of what it actually took for her to cross seven figures as a therapist and coach. We talk about the identity shift required to make more money, the burnout and mistakes no one sees, and the real needle movers that helped her scale. From hiring the right coach and simplifying her business model to doing deep nervous system and mindset work around money, Jessica shares what truly changed the game and why strategy alone is never enough.

We also dive into the practical side of building a thriving cash pay practice in today's market. Jessica breaks down the marketing strategies she's seeing work right now, including how to leverage Google, therapist directories, and conversion focused websites to consistently attract and close private pay clients. Plus, we get honest about motherhood, delegation, and what it really looks like to balance a growing business with raising a child. This conversation is empowering, tactical, and deeply validating for any therapist who knows they're meant for more.

Topics Covered in this Epsiode:

5:12 - What has to shift internally before your income increases
9:47 - The early scaling mistakes that led to burnout
14:03 - Why simple business models outperform complicated ones
18:26 - The hidden ceiling keeping therapists under six figures

Building a seven-figure group practice does not have to mean burnout, chaos, or abandoning your clinical values.

In this episode, I'm officially kicking off the Seven Figure Therapist Series with someone I immediately thought of when therapists kept asking me if this level of growth was even possible. Dr. Leah Clionsky joins me to pull back the curtain on how she built a thriving, private pay group practice rooted in evidence-based care, premium pricing, and sustainability. Leah never set out to chase a revenue milestone, yet by building a practice she was deeply proud of and relentlessly focused on profit, she crossed seven figures and continues to scale year after year.

We talk candidly about what actually makes a group practice financially viable and emotionally sustainable. Leah shares how she structures her team, why she hires experienced clinicians, how she protects her time as an owner, and what her involvement in the practice looks like now. We also dive into the numbers most therapists avoid, the mindset shift required to invest instead of hoard, and why quality and profitability are not at odds with one another. This conversation is equal parts grounding and expansive for anyone who wants to grow without resentment or exhaustion.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

4:12 - Why profit matters more than revenue when scaling a practice
8:37 - The values that make premium pricing feel aligned instead of stressful
13:05 - How Leah structured her team to support growth without micromanaging
17:22 - What a realistic weekly schedule looks like at seven figures
21:48 - The financial rhythm Leah reviews every single week
25:31 - How clinical excellence quietly becomes your best marketing strategy
28:56 - The investment mindset that keeps practices from getting stuck

If this episode expands what feels possible for you, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the rest of the Seven Figure Therapist Series. Each conversation will highlight a different path to growth and a different way to define success. And if this resonated, share it with a colleague or leave a review so more therapists can hear what's possible when you build with intention.

Are you using or considering using AI note takers in your therapy sessions and wondering how to introduce it ethically, confidently, and without damaging the therapeutic relationship?

In today's episode, I sit down with returning guest Dr. Elisabeth Morray, VP of Clinical at Alma, to unpack what it actually looks like to have real conversations with clients about AI in the therapy room. We talk about informed consent, client autonomy, fear-based reactions to AI, and how to frame this technology as an optional, collaborative experiment rather than a forced change. Dr. Morray shares her experience as an early adopter and explains how therapists can center presence, trust, and relationship-building while still benefiting from time-saving tools.

We also dive into the practical and ethical side of implementation, including when to bring it up, what language to use, how to respond when clients opt out, and why separate consent processes may be safer than burying AI language in long intake forms. You'll hear powerful insights on how AI-generated notes can sometimes become therapeutic tools themselves by supporting reflection and continuity between sessions. If you have been feeling stuck between wanting efficiency and protecting the integrity of your clinical work, this conversation will give you a grounded, thoughtful framework to move forward.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:45 - Why informed consent with AI is different than anything we have done before
6:10 - The mindset shift that makes client conversations smoother
9:30 - What to say when clients feel hesitant or fearful about AI
13:20 - A surprising way AI notes can support the therapeutic process
16:40 - When not to bring AI back up after a client opts out
19:15 - The consent mistake that could create ethical gray areas
22:05 - What widespread AI adoption could mean for therapy in the next year

What if "doing well" no longer feels secure because the income that once worked no longer meets your financial needs?

In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm seeing across conversations with therapists right now and what I'm personally experiencing as well. Inflation, debt, cost of living, and long-term goals are forcing many therapists to confront a hard truth: paying the bills isn't the same as feeling financially safe. Wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you're awake.

We talk about why hitting a new level of financial security requires doing things differently, not just working harder, and the identity shift that comes with deciding you're done repeating the same year over and over. I also share why money conversations still feel taboo for women, how your environment shapes your growth, and why getting out of your day-to-day routine through in-person experiences can radically change how you think about your business, your income, and what's possible. That pattern disruption is exactly what inspired me to host my very first Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat this year.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

2:00 – Why "doing well" no longer feels financially secure for many therapists
4:45 – The identity shift required to reach your next income level
7:55 – Why wanting more money still feels taboo for women
9:05 – How your environment shapes your growth and decision-making

What would it actually take to add an extra $5,000 a month to your therapy practice without burning out or stacking more one-to-one sessions? In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of my favorite topics: additional revenue streams and how therapists can strategically scale beyond the traditional one-to-one model. I walk you through why relying on a single income stream is risky, how unexpected life events can impact your business, and why building flexibility into your revenue can transform not just your income, but your health, energy, and quality of life.

I break down the two most common paths therapists take: building a profitable group practice and stepping into the creator economy with offers like courses, coaching, memberships, speaking, or retreats. We talk real numbers, realistic expectations, and what it actually looks like to design offers that work in today's fast-changing market. I also share how I think about pricing, program structure, audience growth, and why 2026 is shaping up to be a powerful year for connection-based business models. If you've been thinking about scaling but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you zoom out, think bigger, and create a strategy that fits your lifestyle and long-term vision.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

3:42 - Why adding revenue streams is about freedom, not just money
7:15 - The real profit math behind hiring your next associate
11:08 - The mistake most therapists make when scaling a group practice
14:30 - How the creator economy is shifting and what still works
18:05 - The hidden numbers behind selling a $997 course
21:47 - Why in-person components may become your biggest advantage
24:12 - Choosing between high-ticket depth or high-volume scale

If you're serious about adding consistent income without sacrificing your sanity or your mission, this is your invitation to take action. The Scale Up Mastermind is officially open for registration. This is a program that has sold out each time in the past 5 cohorts and focuses on helping therapists develop additional revenue streams for their practice. Apply for the Scale Up Mastermind - We start Feb 13th.

Is private practice really "broken," or is the therapy industry simply evolving faster than we expected?

In this episode, I sit down with Allison Puryear for a grounded, honest conversation about the major shifts happening in the therapy industry as we head deeper into 2026. We unpack what is actually behind the slowdown so many therapists are feeling, why what worked from 2020 to 2023 no longer works the same way, and how big therapy tech, virtual care, insurance dynamics, and AI are reshaping access to care. Allison brings decades of perspective to help us zoom out, calm the panic, and understand what is truly changing and what is not.

We also talk about where therapists still have a massive advantage and how to build a practice that is sustainable, human-centered, and resilient in this new landscape. From relationship-based referrals and ethical networking to niche clarity, speaking opportunities, and adapting your marketing without burning out, this episode is about reclaiming agency and momentum when the noise feels overwhelming.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

4:12 - Why the "easy growth" years of private practice are over
7:45 - The real impact of big therapy tech that few are talking about
10:30 - How insurance, politics, and trust are quietly shifting client behavior
14:05 - What therapists can do that large platforms cannot
17:50 - Why networking still works and how to do it authentically
20:40 - What AI will realistically change in therapy
23:15 - Creative ways to stand out without adding more hours

Wanting to add additional revenue streams in this year? The Scale Up Mastermind is now open for registration for our February 13th cohort kick off!

What if the reason you haven't hit multi-six figures yet has nothing to do with your strategy and everything to do with your identity?

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest (and most overlooked) reasons entrepreneurial therapists stay stuck: the identity ceiling they're unconsciously living under. I'm sharing why you don't need permission to evolve, why mindset (not marketing) is often the real bottleneck to growth, and how the identity you're operating from determines what feels "safe" or "possible" in your business. We'll talk about what it really takes to scale in 2026, especially when you're in the messy middle, things aren't shiny anymore, and quitting feels tempting.

I also open up about my own identity shifts from solo therapist to multi–six–figure entrepreneur and the uncomfortable growth that came with it. We explore failure (and why you must be willing to fail fast), the hidden fears that keep therapists playing small, and how surrounding yourself with the right rooms and people can fundamentally change what you believe you're capable of. If you're done repeating the same year over and over and ready to step into a bigger version of yourself, this episode is for you.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

4:48 - The unconscious rules you're following that may be holding you back
7:30 - What it really means to "change your identity overnight"
10:05 - The uncomfortable question every scaling therapist must answer
12:40 - Why failing fast is a non-negotiable skill in 2026
15:18 - The tradeoffs no one talks about when you decide to scale
18:55 - How your body can reveal the goals you're secretly afraid to hit

As you head into this new year, I want you to ask yourself: Who do I need to become to create the results I want? If this episode resonated, take the next step and join me for my free live training in January, where I'll be breaking down three concrete strategies to scale in 2026.

Is SEO still worth your time as a therapist in a world dominated by AI and constant algorithm changes? In this replay of one of our most downloaded episodes of the year, I sit down with SEO expert Chris Morin from Moonraker to break down what actually moves the needle when it comes to getting your private practice website to rank on Google. We talk honestly about whether Google is still relevant, how AI fits into modern SEO (without turning your website into generic fluff), and why content creation is still one of the most powerful and accessible marketing strategies for therapists today.

In this conversation, Chris shares a refreshingly practical approach to SEO that feels doable even if you're juggling a full caseload. We dive into how people are really searching for therapy, the biggest mistakes therapists make with service pages, and how to structure your site so Google actually understands what you do, who you help, and where you're located. If SEO has ever felt overwhelming, confusing, or like a total black hole of effort, this episode will help you see a clear path forward and remind you that you don't need to do everything to see results.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

3:58 - Why Google rankings are far from "dead" (even with ChatGPT in the mix)
7:14 - The single SEO strategy that delivers the biggest ROI for therapists
9:32 - How clients actually search for therapy (and why "individual therapy" might be hurting you)
12:48 - The surprising power of modality-based pages like EMDR, CBT, and IFS
15:41 - How to use AI strategically without publishing generic, low-value content
21:44 - The hidden SEO mistake almost everyone makes inside their blog posts
24:03 - What backlinks really do and how many you actually need
29:10 - The trust signal Google cares about most (and how to build it ethically)

Is the marketing you're doing right now actually creating long-term freedom or just another version of burnout in disguise?

In this replay of one of the most downloaded episodes of the year, I'm breaking down the best marketing strategies I truly believe in if you value flexibility, rest, and sustainability as much as growth. I walk you through what freedom-based marketing really means, why hustle-heavy strategies eventually backfire, and how to start thinking about your marketing decisions through the lens of your future life.

I cover what works best for both practice builders and creators, from SEO and Google visibility to email lists, funnels, and the role social media should (and shouldn't) play. I share real examples from my own business, explain why some strategies quietly keep working for years, and ask you to take an honest look at whether your current marketing is aligned with the life you're trying to build for your health, your family, and your long-term well-being.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

2:10 - The question I ask myself before committing to any marketing strategy
6:45 - Why some marketing creates freedom later (and some never will)
9:30 - The underrated strategy that keeps working even when you're offline
12:50 - What I believe is the most powerful asset creators can build in 2025
16:40 - Why social media feels exhausting and how I set boundaries with it
20:05 - The real role of funnels in creating long-term sustainability
24:30 - The shift that helped me work less without serving less

I want you to sit with the question I pose at the end: Is the marketing you're doing today supporting the life you want in the years ahead? If you're craving more rest, more alignment, and smarter growth (not just more noise) this conversation is for you. And if you are interested in getting more private pay clients in the New Year join us in the Practice Accelerator to get started today.

What would actually happen to your business—and your family—if you suddenly couldn't work?

This question has been sitting heavy on my heart, especially as a single parent, a homeowner, and a business owner who has experienced unexpected seasons of not being able to work in the past. In today's episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the systems, savings, and safety nets I'm putting in place so my business can not only survive but thrive through a crisis.

What do you do when life feels impossible… but your business still needs you?

In this episode, I'm getting honest about something most people never talk about publicly: how to scale your practice when life absolutely sucks. I'm sharing the real mindset shifts, identity work, and business decisions that have helped me keep going—even in seasons where motivation disappears, personal life feels chaotic, and showing up online feels inauthentic.

Have you ever wondered how much easier content creation could feel if AI actually sounded like you? In this episode, I'm sitting down with social media strategist and AI expert Talisa Pina to break down the exact process for using AI to save time, spark ideas, and create content that still feels deeply human. We explore why so many creators feel overwhelmed by AI, how to overcome the fear of "doing it wrong," and the step-by-step method for training any AI tool to understand your voice, your niche, and your goals.

I also dig into the real questions that content creators and therapists have been asking: Where do I even start? How do I train AI using my reels? How do I prevent it from sounding robotic? And how do I use AI as a thought partner instead of a copy-paste shortcut? Whether you're burned out from endless content creation or curious about how AI could uplevel your strategy without sacrificing authenticity, this conversation is loaded with clarity, relief, and practical steps you can implement today.

How do you scale your impact as a therapist without sacrificing motherhood, alignment, or joy? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carly Costello — known as EMDR with Carly — to go behind the scenes of how she built multiple revenue streams while staying committed to her values as a mother. We dig into her journey of growing a thriving insurance-based group practice in West Virginia, expanding into EMDR consultation online, and building a niche Instagram audience that deeply trusts her expertise. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped her go from full time solo therapist to a CEO with five therapists on her team and a global reach through her consulting offers.

We also explore how she strategically uses Instagram — not for viral fame, but for genuine connection — and how networking, simple visibility, and slow growth led her to sell out her first EMDR consultation cohorts for both therapists seeking certification and consultants-in-training. Carly gets real about expanding her vision while expanding her family (yes, she bought her office building while having a newborn!), navigating mom guilt, and trusting that building the business now will create more freedom for her daughter later.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

2:09 - How Carly built multiple revenue streams including a thriving group practice + EMDR consultation online
4:36 - The mindset and accountability shifts that made major growth possible
7:22 - Growing pains & boundaries when suddenly doubling your staff
18:47 - Scaling while having a newborn + buying her office building (yes, at the same time)
20:42 - The support + structure that keeps big goals moving even when life gets full

If you've been dreaming of diversifying your practice or reaching beyond your state lines, this episode will show you what's possible and what it really looks like behind the scenes. Tune in now, get inspired, and walk away with ideas you can start applying today.

In this episode, I sit down with Nicole McCance, who shares her personal story of hitting income ceilings, navigating burnout, and realizing she needed to build something bigger than herself.
