Show Notes
Private pay versus insurance is one of the biggest decisions therapists face, and honestly, it's also one of the most misunderstood.
In this episode, we're breaking down what therapists often get wrong when thinking about these two models. It's not just about money or convenience. It's about how you want to run your practice, who you want to serve, and where you're willing to spend your time and energy.
If you've been going back and forth on whether to take insurance, go private pay, or try a hybrid approach, this conversation will help you think about it in a much clearer way.
