E114: From Insurance Panels to $250 Sessions: Tavari’s In-Process Journey.

In this episode, we’re speaking with Dr. Tavari Brown, Ph.D., LPC, MPH, CPCS, a LIMB grad and current mentor based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Recorded before her move from LIMB student to mentor, Tavari takes this opportunity to share her in-process journey of leaving all insurance panels and charging cash pay, premium fee rates. 

She gets real about her previous “damsel in distress” mentality and how she moved from waiting for rescue from a knight in shining armor to saving herself instead.
