In today's episode, I'm chatting with 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.

Episode #764: When You're the Only Clinician in the Building
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about the part of going solo that nobody really warns you about: the moment you realize the team you thought you weren't even leaning on was actually holding up more than you knew. We get into why the loneliness of private practice isn't really a clinical problem, how to sort out what you actually need from what you're telling yourself you need, and what it looks like to build the kind of support and connection that doesn't require sharing a hallway with anyone.

Episode #763: Shrinking an Overfull Practice
In today's episode, I'm strategizing with member Jessica about getting her caseload down to 25 clients â 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 needs before it needs anything else, & why letting it grow at the right pace is the smarter play.

Episode #762: Consult Calls Freak You Out? This Is Whatâs Really Happening
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith, Limitless Practice grad and Team Abundance consultant, to talk about the imposter syndrome spiral that hits right before a consult call. We get into why it shows up even after years of experience, the mindset shift that actually helps, and why proving yourself on a consult call is the fastest way to lose the client. We also talk about what your potential client is really looking for when they call, how to make them feel heard instead of interviewed, and why having a simple script makes the whole thing easier than you think.

The conversation covers the difference between reacting to problems versus actually understanding your practice, which data points matter most for growth, and how better visibility leads to better decisions.

In todayâs Ask Abundance, Iâm joined by grad and Team Abundance consultant Rebecca Smith to talk about the fear almost every therapist has when building a private practice: âWhat if my niche is too narrow?â 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 about what genuinely lights you up. We also talk about the difference between a niche and an ideal client, why you can always pivot later, and how speaking directly to one person often makes far more people feel seen.

Episode #758: Your Practice Is âSuccessfulâ⌠So Why Does It Feel So Flat?
In todayâs Ask Abundance, Iâm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and weâre talking about something a lot of therapists quietly wrestle with after theyâve âmade itâ in private practice: what happens when the practice is working⌠but youâre 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 your job and more about a life thatâs gotten too small, and how to start reimagining your practice without blowing everything up overnight. We also talk about the pressure therapists put on themselves to stay passionate forever, the freedom that can come from letting therapy become the easy part of your life, and why sometimes the next version of your practice starts by getting out into the world and remembering youâre allowed to have fun again.

Kat Love of joins the podcast to talk about therapist websites and what actually gets clients in the door.

Episode #740: How To Stop Grinding In Private Practice
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're getting into something a lot of therapists feel but won't admit: the practice you built to give you freedom might be the thing trapping you. We get into the rhythms, the systems, and the hard truth about why being a great therapist doesn't automatically make you great at running a practice. If you've been feeling the weight, losing the energy, and wondering how much longer you can keep doing it this way, this episode is for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotesÂŽ: Looking to switch EHRs?

, LCSW, joins me today to share how chronic pain is often shaped by emotional repression, psychological patterns, and disconnection from oneâs authentic self.

Episode #737: Money Trauma Therapy
I chat with member Lisa, a therapist who just completed her trauma and money certification and is in the early stages of building out a niche around financial trauma. Together, we get specific about who this ideal client actually is: the woman who's doing all the right things on paper, has enough in her account, and still panics every time she opens her banking app. We cover how to position this work to financial planners, why a warm introduction beats cold outreach every time, and how to craft messaging that actually resonates with someone who's embarrassed to admit that money still scares them. Quick heads up: there are a few moments in this episode that may be a little harder to catch. If you miss anything, a full transcript is included so you can follow along.

Episode #736: What You Can Use AI For In Private Practice
In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about AI in your therapy practice â notes, admin tasks, and where the ethical lines actually are. We unpack what informed consent looks like when AI is in the room, why there's a big difference between a HIPAA-compliant notes platform and dropping client info into ChatGPT, and how to think about all of this without freezing or just avoiding it altogether. If you've been curious about AI tools but worried about your license, client trust, or just doing it wrong â this conversation will help you find an approach that's thoughtful, informed, and actually workable.
