E99: The Money Sessions Rewind: How Maya Went From $22/Hour to a Six-Figure Private Practice.

As we approach our 100th episode of The Money Sessions and the beginning of a new year, we want to take some time to reflect. 

So we’re turning back the clock and revisiting one of our most popular interviews from the beginning of 2021. 

In this throwback episode, we talk with Maya Jakob, a licensed therapist in Canada and Lean In. MAKE BANK. alum who is absolutely blowing it out of the water. 

Maya discusses how she went from earning $22/hour in her community mental health job to charging $160/session — and how she did it all in 2020, right in the middle of a pandemic. 

She talks about leaving her non-profit, what it meant to rebuild her professional relationships, and how 2020 — the year of COVID — was her practice’s best year yet. 

Listen to the episode:

In this episode, Maya will share:

What it took for her to leave her non-profit and start her own practice;

What it took for her to build new relationships in the premium fee world;

How difficult it was for her to confront her cancellation policy lapses and how she streamlined her fees AND no-show policies;

How her private practice has now surpassed six figures and has a booked schedule, despite a global pandemic.
