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. Rebecca did this herself and her life is so much better on the other side. Come hear what she has to say. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

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 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.

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 needs before it needs anything else, & why letting it grow at the right pace is the smarter play.

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.

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. 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. Sean also shares how therapists can use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to analyze data, streamline tasks, and improve systems while still protecting client privacy and staying HIPAA compliant. A practical conversation for practice owners who want to stop guessing and start running their business with more clarity and confidence. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

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 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.

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 group practice in Milwaukee, along with practical ways to simplify your messaging, define your ideal client, and communicate your value without losing what makes EMDR special. A practical, grounding conversation for any EMDR therapist who's ever struggled to put what they do into words.
