All Things Private Practice Podcast

During this very powerful episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk w/ Marisol Colette AKA The Fashion Therapist. Marisol is the owner of Sol Reflection, as well as the co-host of the Reading Aloud Podcast.Marisol's journey is one of courage, strength, resilience, and resolve. She was diagnosed w/ cancer immediately after leaving the VA (and their federal health insurance benefits) behind.Marisol and I talk about our journeys out of community mental health, and Marisol shares her story about leaving a "safe, secure" job at the VA that paid extraordinarily well and offered fantastic benefits but was emotionally and physically exhausting.Instead of panicking and going back to a job that was no longer satisfying, she trusted her judgment, intuition, and ingenuity, creating something very unique and unbelievably special within the therapy world. Marisol created her business and stepped into becoming a "fashion therapist." She incorporates trauma and body-based therapy to help people embrace their bodies and feel confident in their clothing — incredibly creative to say the least!Fashion Therapist? What does that even mean? How does that work?Marisol and I talk about her creative genius and process, as well as both of our determination to do things differently. Some topics include: Thinking you can't make it or that your ideas are too "big" The desire and determination to never go back to community mental health Our success stories while doing things "differently" Our struggles to get to where we're at -------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank CPH & Associates for sponsoring this episode.Get a quote and apply at cphins.com/allthingsMentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!Visit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!

During this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I speak with Kym Tolson, owner of the Traveling Therapist and Insurance Billing For Telehealth Professionals.Travel and entrepreneurship often go hand-in-hand. Most of us start our own businesses to have more free time, flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to work from "anywhere."I love traveling, and it's a major reason that I decided that small business ownership was for me.Kym and I talk about: How to start traveling more while maintaining your business How I take 12-16 weeks off/year Kym's journey into becoming a digital nomad Billing insurance and requirements for out of state practice Meet Kym Tolson, LCSW, CSAC:I'm a traveling therapist, working on living all throughout the country and working remotely. First stop: Hollywood, Florida, right outside Miami. Then COVID hit. Ugh. Everything shut down. We couldn't travel. Dreams on hold! Luckily, Miami is a pretty great place to be stuck during a pandemic.During the COVID lockdowns, I had a lot of time to work on my side-hustle, helping therapists learn how to bill insurance in their private practices.I still saw my clients, but I also continued to perfect my course, "DIY Insurance Billing for Private Practice."I also created a supportive membership, Bill Like A Boss, for therapists who are billing insurance in their private practices.Also, check out The Traveling Therapist Course.-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank Embark EMR for sponsoring this episode.Try Embark EMR today with a free trial at embarkemr.com.You can also use code ATPP at checkout for 20% off an entire year of Embark.Mentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!Visit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!

When you're able to be vulnerable, REAL, and authentic, you'll notice that life feels a HELL of a lot more energizing.AUTHENTICITY is what draws people to us, especially those that align with our values and the way that we show up in the world.People will want to work with you because of something you said, how BOLD you were, and how you stood out from the "play it safe, shows no personality, ruffles no feathers" types.On this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk with my friend and colleague, Cindi Miller, about why it's so important to show up as YOURSELF in your private practice and in your small business.We talk about: Why it's so important to be authentically YOU in your business and personal life Combatting negative beliefs that some therapists have about disclosure, authenticity, and being "real" human beings Why it's OK to show off your tattoos, your pink hair, and your real personality "We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be." - May Sarton-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank Spruce Health for sponsoring this episode.Spruce Health is a HIPAA compliant app for phone, text, fax, and telehealth.Their customer service is fantastic, and their staff has the mission of not only making it easier on us as practitioners and practice owners but also easy for our clients to make sure that their communication is protected.

As you prepare for the new year as a private practice owner, one area of your business where you might be able to level up your client experience is from the moment that they enter your office and check in with you. For many private practices, the client check-in process can be a bit awkward and confusing. Clients often enter into an empty waiting room. And chances are you're wrapping up a session with someone else, so there's no way of knowing when they arrive. With a visitor management system like The Receptionist for iPad, you can provide clients with a discreet and secure way to check in for their appointment while instantly being notified of their arrival. What's more, The Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand.

I'm sure most of you hear the phrases "charge your worth and scarcity mindset" all the time.Though I believe in getting paid for the hard work that we do, not all business models are the same.I talk with Tara Holmquist, a clinical psychologist in Wisconsin about her "pay what you can model" in private practice.Tara is an attachment-focused psychologist, meaning that everything is about the relationship and trusting the client's insight.Tara may be doing things differently than a lot of business owners and we discuss why this feels so unbelievably important for her. She believes that the client knows what works for them and that honoring this, it actually creates more trust and buy-in to the therapeutic process.We talk about the common misconceptions people may have about a business model like this including: How do you set your fees? Are you able to pay your bills? How do you trust your clients to choose what they pay? What made you decide to run your business like this? -------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank CPH & Associates for sponsoring this episode.This episode of the all things private practice podcast is being brought to you by CPH & Associates.

Scared about leaving your Community Mental Health Job? I was too! I think we all are to some degree. It makes sense that when we feel comfortable and "secure," we struggle to embrace the fear of the unknown no matter how badly we want to.Community Mental Health definitely has a role to play but unfortunately, the system is broken, which means you end up struggling with: Resources, $$, time, and BURN OUT! In this episode, I talk with Victoria Rodriguez, a Ph.D. student at the University of New Orleans and owner of "My Car Is My Office," about the problems with Community Mental Health (CMH), but more importantly, how clients and therapists both suffer because of the systemic injustice and lack of resources.More about Victoria:Victoria Rodriguez (she/her/hers) provides professional consulting and program development services for community mental health agencies and provides telehealth counseling for individuals with health anxiety throughout Louisiana. As a Ph.D. student at the University of New Orleans, she has published research on barriers to treatment in community mental health and the theory-application gap in nonclinical settings. She is passionate about making community mental health sustainable for clinicians and participants.Find Victoria's research and other resources at mycarismyoffice.com and on social media at @my.car.is.my.office.-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------A Thanks to Our Sponsor!I would also like to thank Embark EMR for sponsoring this episode.Try Embark EMR today with a free trial at embarkemr.com.You can also use code ATPP at checkout for 20% off an entire year of Embark.Mentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!Visit the website for The Receptionist for iPad here!

Superpowers vs. Kryptonites - Do you ever wonder why your brain works the way that it does? Sometimes you have bursts of creativity and then other times you are depleted, isolated, and feel alone.🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here:www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcastIn this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk about my own experiences as a therapist and entrepreneur with ADHD and ASD—the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unseen.Entrepreneurs and Neurodivergence tend to go hand in hand. It can be really painful to make sense of why your brain works the way it does and why things can feel so DAMN complicated, messy, and chaotic.Tapping into your superpowers, normalizing your struggles, and knowing that you're not alone are unbelievably important parts of this journey.-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------Mentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.

"Why would anyone hire me? How is it even possible to leave community mental health and start a private practice?" Have you had similar thoughts and let them prevent you from starting your own business? You're definitely not alone. Leaving security, consistency, and stepping into the unknown can be really scary when starting a private practice.In this episode, Christal Pennic (the host of the #GetNeckID Podcast and my good friend) and I talk about how she's prevented herself from taking the leap for far too long—all because of IMPOSTOR SYNDROME! Christal shares her journey from community mental health into her private practice.We talk about impostor syndrome, techniques to manage it, and how to pursue your goals and dreams even when it feels scary and impossible, as well as Christal's experiences with being a BIPOC therapist and how that impacted her impostor syndrome and decision to take the leap into private practice.More about Christal Pennic, LPC, MHSP:Christal Pennic (or “LPC Chris” in the podcast world) is a licensed professional counselor in Nashville, TN. Currently, she counsels youth victims of crime for the city of Nashville. LPC Chris has a passion for youth and adults that are on the journey of grief and loss. She has worked in the helping profession since 2005 and is the owner of two podcasts. One of her podcasts is #GetNeckIDTherapist, which is primarily geared for mental health professionals, fans, advocates, and coaches. It is the 100% neckid truth of the good, bad, and ugly of the field we helping professionals love so much. It might have a funny name, but the meaning becomes clear after you tune in for an episode. Her other podcast, "Surviving Sibling Loss - The Forgotten Mourners Podcast" is a special listening space for siblings who are grieving the death of their sibling(s). Both podcasts, and the interactions received since launching them, have fueled her desire in becoming a private practice practitioner. Stay tuned.Side note from Christal: "I am a loud laugher… and I test as an extrovert on western personality tests, but on eastern personality tests, I am an introvert. I agree with both :-)"-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------Mentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.

Choosing your niche is a lot like setting yourself up as the expert in a particular field, population, set of struggles, or way of working.Last year when I started talking about Impostor Syndrome on FB lives, webinars, etc., I was just talking about my experiences. The more I talked about it, the more I was being viewed as "the impostor syndrome expert." All of a sudden, I was speaking at conferences, on podcasts, coaching courses, and more!Too often I hear, "I'm a trauma-informed therapist who works with A, B, C..."If you don't know who you're marketing your services to, then how could they possibly find you or call you? Why would someone pay you out of pocket if you don't proclaim to be the "expert" in a certain struggle, population, or technique?When you ask yourself, "do I really need to have a niche," I think the resounding answer is YES!!If you work in a really saturated area, how do you stand out if you work with "everyone?" How often do we see therapists asking the same questions over and over in all of the FB groups? "Why isn't my phone ringing?" "How do I get more self-pay clients?" "But, won't I exclude clients if I focus on a "specific population?" Listen to this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast so you can gain clarity on the importance of choosing your niche, and why I think our niche is a version of ourselves.-------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast here: www.allthingspractice.com/all-things-private-practice-podcast🎙️Spotify: atppod.com/spotify🎙️Apple Podcasts: atppod.com/apple🎙️Google Podcasts: atppod.com/google🗨️ Join the All Things Private Practice FB Community: www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticebuilding----------------------------Mentioned in this episode:A Thanks to Our Sponsor, The Receptionist for iPad!I would also like to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.

How often do you have a great idea but hesitate to put it out to the world because "it's not ready, perfect, or complete?" Sometimes you need to build the plane as you're flying it!Do you remember a time when you've just put the idea out to the world and the pressure lifted, the fear disappeared, and the world didn't stop spinning?I know that a lot of us, including myself, oftentimes hold ourselves back from stepping into the lives we want to live, the businesses we want to create, and the dreams that we have.In this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk with TJ Walsh, owner of Bold Creatives Collective.We talk about Putting an idea out to the world before it's built or finished Working through fear and insecurity to pursue dreams, goals, and aspirations How taking risks pays off in the long run, even though the short-term is Fuc*ing scary!

Therapists tend to struggle with money, setting rates, and understanding the value of what they offer. Hey... We never had business training, so it makes sense.How many times have you answered a phone call from a potential client and said, "My rate is 150, but my sliding scale is 30-150?" Your own anxiety caused you to immediately offer a sliding scale without being asked for one.The mental health profession is crucial, necessary, and undervalued. We as a profession tend to be our own worst enemies when understanding the value that we offer.We all have our own money traumas, fears, cultural narratives...As a therapist and entrepreneur who used to have a GIGANTIC gambling addiction, money has always been triggering.Whether you are saying...You don't deserve to make moneyYou don't get into this field to make moneyTalking about money makes me uncomfortableCharging money goes against my valuesIf you're a licensed therapist, then you have...At least a masters degreeThousands of hours towards your licensureContinuing ed hoursStudent loan debtThousands of supervision hoursYet you still can't understand that your time is valuable. We don't charge for 60-minute increments of our time. We charge for the transformation.If you're still reading this, ask yourself how much you spend on your own self-care and what it does for you?Most people say something like "I spend $100/week on a massage + tip."It makes me feel relaxedIt's my me-timeIt's self-careIt helps with pain and anxietyAs therapists, we offer ^^^ and muchhhhhhhhhhhhh more.Let's start to understand that we are allowed to charge fees, enforce cancellations and no-shows, and more importantly, MAKE MONEY AND HELP PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY!–––––––––––––––––––––🎙️Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast🎙️Spotify🎙️Apple🎙️YouTube Music▶️ YouTube✈️ Learn about Retreats🗨️ Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community🗨️ Join the free All Things Private Practice FB Community–––––––––––––––––––––Thanks to Our Sponsor: The Receptionist for iPad!✨ The Receptionist for iPadThanks to The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.The Receptionist for iPad is a HIPAA-ready digital check-in system that eliminates the need to walk back and forth from your office to the waiting room to see if your next appointment has arrived.

I struggled with a gambling addiction for 15 years. Nothing was POSSIBLE. Everything felt IMPOSSIBLE.During this episode I talk about how to move from impossible to possible through imperfect action, doing your own work, and embracing fear and vulnerability.Sometimes we can't see the next step. We can't see the forest for the trees. When we're struggling it's really hard to imagine that things can be different.From a gambling addict to a successful entrepreneur who owns multiple businesses, the story hasn't been easy, but I hope that it serves as inspiration.When things feel impossible, when we can't see the next steps, it usually means we're on the right track.–––––––––––––––––––––🎙️Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast🎙️Spotify🎙️Apple🎙️YouTube Music▶️ YouTube✈️ Learn about Retreats🗨️ Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community🗨️ Join the free All Things Private Practice FB Community–––––––––––––––––––––Thanks to Our Sponsor: The Receptionist for iPad!✨ The Receptionist for iPadThanks to The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.The Receptionist for iPad is a HIPAA-ready digital check-in system that eliminates the need to walk back and forth from your office to the waiting room to see if your next appointment has arrived.

Taking the leap from community mental health and into private practice is Fuc*ing Scary!! As a therapist, group practice owner, and private practice coach and strategist, I was full of self-doubt, insecurity, and overwhelming anxiety.Who the hell was I to be successful, and why would someone hire me?

Normalizing failure and celebrating triumph is the goal.I'll be interviewing experts in the industry to talk about how normal it is to struggle in small business ownership and the process of becoming an entrepreneur. We'll also talk about how stepping into and embracing fear leads to overwhelming success, however the hell you want to define that.Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and share this with anyone who's dreaming big but thinking "why me?"–––––––––––––––––––––🎙️Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast🎙️Spotify🎙️Apple🎙️YouTube Music▶️ YouTube✈️ Learn about Retreats🗨️ Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community🗨️ Join the free All Things Private Practice FB Community–––––––––––––––––––––Thanks to Our Sponsor: The Receptionist for iPad!✨ The Receptionist for iPadThanks to The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.The Receptionist for iPad is a HIPAA-ready digital check-in system that eliminates the need to walk back and forth from your office to the waiting room to see if your next appointment has arrived.
