What happens when someone without a therapy license decides to build a premium-fee practice anyway?
Meet Jessica Scalzo, a professional Peer Counselor and retired competitive runner who turned her lived experience with overtraining and eating disorders into a thriving private practice charging $185 per session.
Jessica was charging $45 when she joined LIMB. Today, she's a pioneer — redefining what's possible for peer counselors, athletes, and anyone told their work "doesn't count."
In this episode, Jessica shares:
-
How she built a private practice as one of only two known peer counselors in the U.S.
-
The bold leap from $45 to $185 — and what it taught her about worth
-
How she helps athletes heal from "R.E.D.S." (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome)
-
The difference between therapy and peer counseling — and why both matter
-
What it means to turn pain into purpose and still make bank
