Early in my career, I was the push-through type. Put the fear aside, keep moving. Looking back, it was more dissociation than courage 💡

I probably should have felt MORE fear than I let myself feel. But sitting with it felt overwhelming, so I just... didn't.

Over time I learned: ignoring what's happening in my body - professionally and personally - is actually harmful. Any emotion, any sensation. Pushing through without giving it attention has a cost.

The first step in navigating fear isn't solving it. It's being with it.

Can you give yourself time to actually sit with whatever's there? Fear, anger, frustration, excitement - all of it deserves attention before action.

That's where the work starts.

A client raised her rate. Then she went to a networking event and mentioned she was nervous about getting more clients 💡

Everyone jumped in with the same advice: Join a platform. Get paid $100/hour.

That's a third of her new fee.

But here's what made the difference - she'd already done the work. She understood the trauma behind her money stuff. So when they offered their fear-based solution, she could say: That's yours. I'm not picking it up.

Who you surround yourself with matters.

Some communities add fuel to the fire. Others remind you of what you already know. When you're tuned into your body, you can tell when fear isn't yours.

The more you process your own feelings, the less you pick up from other people. Then the work becomes just your stuff - not everyone else's too.

Here's something that's hard to hear when you're starting out: You're not the right fit for everyone 💡

And that's not a flaw. It's just true. No therapist is.

The "I'll take anyone who can pay" approach feels practical. But it often leads to imposter syndrome, dreading sessions, and losing trust in yourself as a clinician.

When you know who you serve best - and you focus on doing exceptional work with those people - everything shifts.

You feel better about your business. You show up differently. And outcomes improve because you're in your zone.

Clarity about fit isn't limiting. It's the foundation.

Private Pay Clients: How to Attract, Convert, & Keep Your First (or 50th)

90 minutes on the part of practice building nobody taught us: how someone finds you, what happens on that first call, and what happens in the first few sessions that turns one client into three.

☕ Bring coffee. Bring a question.

📋 Private Pay Clients: How to Attract, Convert, & Keep Your First (or 50th)

Two things worth knowing before you decide:

📕 Everyone who registers gets 40 Ways to Build a Strong Referral Base. It's not a list of "network more." It's forty specific people and places, from the psychiatrist in your town who doesn't take insurance, to the school principal, to the local newspaper column nobody has ever pitched. You can start working it tomorrow afternoon.

🎥 If you can't be there live, register anyway. I'll send you the replay. It's up for a limited window and then it comes down, but you have to be registered to get it.

90 minutes. How someone finds you, what happens on the call, and what happens in the first few sessions that turns one client into three.

One week out. Free training, September 30.

Here's the belief I most want to take apart before then:

🧠 "I'll get private pay clients once I'm a better clinician."

I hear this constantly, and it's one of the most expensive things a therapist can believe. Because it means the answer is always another training, another certification, another year of getting good enough. Meanwhile the schedule stays empty.

I've watched excellent clinicians stay broke and I've watched newer clinicians fill fast. The difference is almost never in the room.

⚡ It's what happens before someone ever calls you.

⚡ It's what happens on the call itself, in about four minutes.

⚡ It's what happens in the first few sessions that decides whether one client turns into three.

Most of us were taught none of that, and then blamed ourselves for not knowing it.

September 30, 10 to 11:30am Pacific. Free, 90 minutes, replay available if you register.

Everybody who registers also gets 40 Ways to Build a Strong Referral Base. Forty specific people and places, from the psychiatrist who doesn't take insurance to the local newspaper column nobody has pitched.

When you're starting a practice, isolation creeps in fast. The fear. The loneliness. The constant second-guessing 💡

And here's what we don't talk about enough: That isolation serves the system. When we're not talking to each other, we're easier to manage. Easier to keep in line.

Connection disrupts that.

Having people who understand. Someone who sees you when imposter syndrome is loud. Support that helps you move through the hard parts instead of staying stuck in them.

Could you figure it out alone eventually? Maybe. But you don't have to. And there's real power in knowing: This isn't just me. I'm not supposed to carry this by myself.

We're not meant to build in isolation. Find your people.

We think success in private practice means more clients. More income. A new program. A bigger offer 💡

But here's the question that gets skipped: Are the clients you're already seeing getting great outcomes?

Before you overhaul everything, before you add another panel or launch something new - look at what's already in front of you.

Is the clinical work landing? Are people leaving changed? Are you doing your best work with the caseload you have?

That's not a sidebar to success. That IS success. Everything else is built on top of it.

Growth without outcomes is just scaling something that isn't working.

I've been running the same private practice survey since 2023. Over 1,200 therapists have filled it out. Here's the part I can't stop thinking about.

💰 In 2023, the median private pay fee was $150. Today it's $150.

📉 In 2023, the median insurance reimbursement was around $100. Today it's $101.

📈 And the share of therapists taking insurance went from 51% to 66%.

So private pay barely moved, insurance didn't move at all, inflation went up 12 to 15 percent, and more of us signed up for panels anyway.

I don't think that's a bunch of therapists making bad choices. I think that's a system working exactly the way it was built to work, and a whole profession absorbing the cost of it personally.

On September 30 I'm teaching a free 90-minute training on the other path. Not "just go private pay and hope." The actual mechanics: how someone finds you, what happens on that first call, and what happens in the first few sessions that decides whether they send you three more people.

First private pay client or fiftieth. Free, live, replay available if you register.

The clients who quietly disappear do not show up on any spreadsheet. There is no line item on your P&L for "people who cancelled twice and then stopped answering." So it lands somewhere worse: in your private sense of whether you are actually any good at this.

Diana spent her first stretch in private practice taking everyone who called, because that is what she learned in county mental health. You take the next person on the list. Clients ghosted, dropped out with no closure, and she concluded she was a bad therapist. She was not. She had a screening problem wearing a competence costume.

In this episode with Kelly, she walks through what changed: real questions on the consult call, outcomes check-ins every couple of months with the clients she keeps, and a niche narrow enough to say out loud (anxiety disorders and complex trauma, EMDR and IFS). Also the imposter part that ran her business for years, and the parts work exercise that finally moved it.

Kelly's reframe is the one worth sitting with: before you overhaul your business model or join a panel, look at the people already on your schedule. Are they getting better? That is the first business metric, and almost nobody counts it.
