You’ve been out of the therapy world for a while.
Maybe you stepped back to raise kids. Maybe you worked in an agency. Maybe life just… happened.
And now you’re back—but you’re terrified to charge what you actually need.
This episode is for the therapist asking:
“Who am I to charge $200 or $300 when I’ve been out of practice for years?”
Tiffany tackles a powerful listener question and busts the myth that experience is what makes you worth premium fees. Spoiler: it’s not.
Listen to the episode:
In this episode, Tiffany shares:
- Why being strategic matters more than being seasoned when setting your fee;
- How burnout and scarcity actually make you a worse clinician—and how ease makes you better;
- Why serving low-fee, Medicaid-dependent clients in the past doesn’t mean you’re stuck there;
- The skill gap (not a personal failure) that keeps you from attracting premium clients—and how to close it;
- Why building a premium-fee practice is a learnable skill—not something you’re born knowing.
If you’ve been hiding behind “I need more time,” “I just got back,” or “I’m not ready yet”—this is your wake-up call.
