EP 212: How Therapists Can Talk to Clients About Using an AI Note Taker with Dr. Elisabeth Morray

The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

Are you using or considering using AI note takers in your therapy sessions and wondering how to introduce it ethically, confidently, and without damaging the therapeutic relationship? In today’s episode, I sit down with returning guest Dr. Elisabeth Morray, VP of Clinical at Alma, to unpack what it actually looks like to have real conversations with clients about AI in the therapy room. We talk about informed consent, client autonomy, fear-based reactions to AI, and how to frame this technology as an optional, collaborative experiment rather than a forced change. Dr. Morray shares her...

EP 211: Retreats, Rant + this Economy for Therapists

The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

What if “doing well” no longer feels secure because the income that once worked no longer meets your financial needs? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m seeing across conversations with therapists right now and what I’m personally experiencing as well. Inflation, debt, cost of living, and long-term goals are forcing many therapists to confront a hard truth: paying the bills isn’t the same as feeling financially safe. Wanting more doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful. It means you’re awake. We talk about why hitting a new level of financial security requires doing...

EP 210: How to Add $5K a Month with Additional Revenue Streams

The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

What would it actually take to add an extra $5,000 a month to your therapy practice without burning out or stacking more one-to-one sessions? In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of my favorite topics: additional revenue streams and how therapists can strategically scale beyond the traditional one-to-one model. I walk you through why relying on a single income stream is risky, how unexpected life events can impact your business, and why building flexibility into your revenue can transform not just your income, but your health, energy, and quality of life. I break down the two most common...

EP 209: How the Mental Health Field has Changed with Allison Puryear

The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

Is private practice really “broken,” or is the therapy industry simply evolving faster than we expected? In this episode, I sit down with Allison Puryear for a grounded, honest conversation about the major shifts happening in the therapy industry as we head deeper into 2026. We unpack what is actually behind the slowdown so many therapists are feeling, why what worked from 2020 to 2023 no longer works the same way, and how big therapy tech, virtual care, insurance dynamics, and AI are reshaping access to care. Allison brings decades of perspective to help us zoom out, calm the panic, and...

EP 208: The Identity You Need to Hit Multi Six Figure This Year

The Entrepreneurial Therapist Podcast

What if the reason you haven’t hit multi-six figures yet has nothing to do with your strategy and everything to do with your identity? In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest (and most overlooked) reasons entrepreneurial therapists stay stuck: the identity ceiling they’re unconsciously living under. I’m sharing why you don’t need permission to evolve, why mindset (not marketing) is often the real bottleneck to growth, and how the identity you’re operating from determines what feels “safe” or “possible” in your business. We’ll talk about what it really takes to...

In this episode, I’m getting honest about something most people never talk about publicly: how to scale your practice when life absolutely sucks. I’m sharing the real mindset shifts, identity work, and business decisions that have helped me keep going—even in seasons where motivation disappears, personal life feels chaotic, and showing up online feels inauthentic.

Are you holding back from scaling your practice because you think it’s just not possible for you? In this episode, I’m diving headfirst into the three most common (and limiting) myths I hear from therapists who are ready to grow beyond the 1:1 model, but aren’t sure what’s holding them back. From fear of managing people to believing courses don’t sell anymore, I’m breaking down exactly why these outdated beliefs are blocking your potential.

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to manage people,” or “courses don’t work anymore,” or “it’s just not possible for me,” then this is the episode you need. You’ll walk away with a fresh mindset and a clear understanding of how scaling can fit into your unique lifestyle and values as a therapist. This isn’t just about growing your income—it’s about designing a business (and life) that feels aligned, exciting, and deeply fulfilling. Let’s bust these myths wide open and start building the future you’re dreaming about.
