In today’s episode we are talking to Dr. Yelena “Elaine” Blank, a clinical psychologist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Elaine is a queer immigrant who is paving the way for others like her. A while ago, Elaine stumbled upon our fun with fees calculator and was given a fee of $249 per session. Her first thought was “NO WAY!” “Who would pay ME that much?” BUT she bossed up, broke through those glass ceilings and now she’s actually charging a $250/session fee.
In this episode, Elaine takes us on her journey of developing a premium fee practice as a queer immigrant. She will talk about her life – her country of origin, her upbringing, how she broke through the narratives she had heard her entire life and how you can do it also!
