In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A.E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about dropping insurance panels. Specifically, the part nobody warns you about: the fear. We're getting into why the timing is never going to feel right, what it actually looks like to make this move strategically without blowing up your income, and why having a needle-thin niche is the thing that makes all of it possible. Rebe...
In today's episode, I'm chatting with Abundance Party member Weston, a geropsychologist building a private pay LGBTQ+ focused practice, about honing his niche around queer grief and loss, why blogging beats social media for his ideal client, and how to position himself as the go-to referral source in a specialized niche.

In today's episode, I'm strategizing with Abundance Party member Jessica about getting her caseload down to 25 clients — who stays, who gets referred out, & whether group therapy makes sense for her practice. We get into a client whose relationship behavior is ethically complicated enough that she needs someone who specializes in ethical non-monogamy. And we talk through Jessica's second business: the marketing clarity it...
Sean Yang, founder of Practices.fyi, joins the podcast to talk about the business numbers therapists often ignore and why tracking the right metrics can change everything.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Limitless Practice grad and Team Abundance consultant Rebecca Smith to talk about the fear almost every therapist has when building a private practice: "What if my niche is too narrow?" We get into why broad, vague marketing makes it harder for clients to choose you, how niching actually increases trust and perceived expertise, and why the best niche is usually less about strategy and more ab...
Lilly Risch, LCSW, joins the podcast to talk about marketing EMDR therapy and what it actually looks like to attract clients who are the right fit. The conversation gets into why explaining EMDR to the public feels so uniquely challenging, how leading with symptoms like anxiety instead of trauma can change everything, and what it takes to build a caseload that's both full and sustainable. Lilly shares her own experience growing a g...
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something a lot of therapists quietly wrestle with after they've "made it" in private practice: what happens when the practice is working… but you're not excited anymore. We get into the weird grief of realizing the thing you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the dream, why burnout is often less about y...
In today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with Abundance Party member Liz about building a private practice from the ground up, including how to move through the early uncertainty of getting clients and setting sustainable fees. We dig into raising rates, marketing to other therapists, and shaping a website that clearly reflects a niche in trauma and personality disorders like BPD in a more psychoed...
Kat Love of katlove.com joins the podcast to talk about therapist websites and what actually gets clients in the door. The conversation gets into why so many therapists spend money on the wrong things, how animations, contact forms, and luxury redesigns aren't what's converting visitors, and what it actually takes to get someone to choose you. Kat breaks down the two jobs your website has to do, getting found and getting chosen, an...
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something every therapist with a website has probably lost sleep over: why people are finding you, landing on your site, and then just... disappearing. We get into why SEO and conversion are two totally different animals, why your copy might be accidentally educating people instead of making them feel understood, and how...
Rachel Hulstein-Lowe, LICSW joins the podcast to talk about gender diversity and what it actually looks like to show up as an affirming, competent therapist right now. The conversation gets into why so many clinicians are afraid of getting it wrong, how that fear often leads to unnecessary referrals out, and what it takes to build real confidence working with LGBTQIA clients. Rachel shares both her professional experience and ...
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the slow periods nobody warns you about. The summer dips, the post-holiday drop-offs, the stretches where the phone just stops ringing. We get into why it's not a sign you're failing, why the therapist Facebook groups are the worst place to turn when you're spiraling, and how to plan your year so a slow month feels like ...
In today's episode of the Abundant Practice Podcast, I chat with Limitless Practice graduates Jasmine, Kate, Aubrey, and Maria about how they transformed their overwhelmed practices into ones that actually work for their lives.

We dig into the mindset shi...

Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the weird moment when the practice you once wanted starts feeling like it was built for someone you're not anymore.
