A question I get asked super often is âshould you list your therapy rates on your websiteâ?
In short - the answer is YES!
ButâŠI want to dive deeper into WHY I believe this is important.
I understand you may not want to do this (like really not want to). I very much relate, because I did NOT want to do this either!
I hope this episode gives you the confidence you need to charge the rate that YOU want, and you know you deserve. Okay, now go list your therapy rates on your website - your future clients will thank you!!
In this episode, I cover:
Assuming that people will think your rates are âtoo expensiveâThe power of transparency with listing your ratesWhy listing your rates communicates your expertise & valueElevating your client experience to show that you ARE the expertConnect with Kelly:

When I think of relatability, reels, and RHONY (because sheâs a huge reality TV fan), Liana is the person who comes to mind! She brings a fun, lighthearted energy to Instagram, even though she digs into pretty serious topics.
Liana Ross is an LMHC-D in New York with about a decade of experience. She is trained in EMDR and specializes in childhood/relationship trauma, addiction, disordered eating, and relationships.
Instead of sticking to boring and generic mental health quotes, Liana has gotten super specific in her messaging. She is crystal clear on her niche, and connects well with people needing support with childhood and relationship trauma.
Liana doesnât overthink her content with Instagram. While she loves educating her community, she still incorporates HER unique personality into the mix.
In this episode, we cover:
Lianaâs journey with Instagram + how guilt & shame initially played a roleLianaâs experience with niching down on InstagramHow Liana has continued to gain clients outside of InstagramWhy creating content for Instagram can feel âeasierâ after niching downHow Liana uses Reels membership to help with content creationHow building connections w/other therapists on Instagram has impacted Lianaâs businessGetting consistent clients from InstagramNot overthinking content creation + following a routine that works for YOUBringing in the âhumanâ aspect + finding confidence as a therapistConnect with Liana:

Do you ever feel like Instagram is taking over your life??
Youâre constantly juggling clients, content creation, family time, and everything in between.
If this sounds familiar, youâre NOT alone!
Boundaries are super important with Instagram, but TBH - thatâs something I struggled with early on. It felt exciting and lit me up, but also...really HARD.
Four years later, Iâve mastered boundaries with Instagram. Itâs not an energy drain, or leading me to constant burnout.
I truly believe this is why Iâve been able to stay so consistent with not only one, but TWO accounts. Iâm here to show you that itâs possible to manage your time and energy on Instagram while growing your business, too!
In this episode, I cover:
Common challenges therapists face with InstagramUsing time blocking for both work AND personal timeContent batching + tools that can help with thisSetting specific Instagram boundariesDesignating & prioritizing self-care and âdowntimeâ FIRSTHow outsourcing & delegation can help youWhy maintaining boundaries & preventing burnout is crucialConnect with Kelly:

Todayâs episode is inspired by a therapist in my Private Practice Academy Bundle (PPA). She posted in our VIP group, basically saying that she was in a âfunkâ with Instagram. She wasnât sure if all of the time and energy she was putting in was worth the little growth she was seeing.
This message really got me thinking about how valuable it is to TALK about this kind of thing.
As someone with 2 large platforms and making 7 figures/year from Instagram, I feel this PLENTY of times throughout the year!
I often wonder what the heck Iâm doing. Like...am I *actually* reaching people with my content who need to see it??
In todayâs episode, Iâm talking about how to know if Instagram is really worth all the time & effort for you.
In this episode, I cover:
Reconnecting with your âwhyâ on a regular basisGoals examples with Instagram + breaking down HOW to meet thoseWhy itâs helpful to focus on YOUR specific business goal & what matters mostConnect with Kelly:

Something that I get asked a LOT from other therapists is how to handle negative comments online.
If youâve been online for any time at all, youâve probably dealt with some kind of negativity. I know it can feel like your worst nightmare when you have trolls coming for you in the comments section.
It really sucks - nobody wants OR deserves to be put on blast like that!
But...I really want to help you understand how common this is, and what to do if/when it happens to you.

Charging a high rate as a therapist is HARD.
We experience sooo much internal guilt when we choose to do this. Itâs our job to work on our money mindset, process through these emotions, and own them.
ButâŠwhat happens when OTHER therapists question your rates?
They put you down for charging a premium rate, and place their limiting beliefs onto you. That shit is even HARDER!
This is something that has come up on many coaching calls within my PPA VIP community, so I knew I needed to dive into it more here.
In this episode, I cover:
My personal experience with others questioning my ratesThe deep-seated belief that many of us have with charging higher ratesThe internal âworkâ you can do to improve your money mindsetHow to actually respond when other therapists question your ratesConnect with Kelly:

Dr. Salena Justice is a psychologist based in North Carolina. She specializes in evaluating and treating adults diagnosed with autism later in life. Sheâs fully remote with her full-time private practice, and is licensed in over 40 states in the U.S.
While Salena is crystal clear on who she helps now, it wasnât always that way.
Salena decided to go full-time in her private practice in January 2024. By April 2024, she had a few hundred Instagram followers and 8 insurance clients, but she REALLY wanted to fill her caseload.
Salena discovered PPA, and joined in April 2024. Since then, sheâs grown her Instagram to over 27k followers!
Not only that, but sheâs been able to cut WAY back on work, only seeing clients 2 or 3 days a week.
Salena has had some incredible success over the last year, and I KNOW sheâs just getting started. Her story of niching down and gaining 27k Instagram followers is pretty freaking inspiring - you wonât want to miss it!!
In this episode, we cover:
Salenaâs journey to choosing her unique nicheWhy Salena was so âbroadâ with her niche when she first started her private practiceHow Instagram felt when Salena was âwinging itâ thereSalenaâs âshiftâ on Instagram + her 1st experience going viralHow Salena showcases her expertise + personality on InstagramUsing an intro call + clearly listing your rate for potential clientsHow it can feel when you raise your rates & get off insurance panelsFinding contentment with where you are before scaling & growingSalenaâs business 1 year ago vs. what it looks like todayWhy specificity in your messaging & content is KEYConnect with Salena:

There's this myth out there that if you want to get more therapy clients, you have to do more workâŠright?
Maybe you think you need to post more on Instagram, or write more blogs. Maybe you believe running more ads or attending more networking events will lead you to more clients.
For most of us, this list goes on and ON!
ButâŠwhat if I told you there was something unexpected you could do, that would actually make it EASIER to get clients? And...you would be working LESS, not more!

How unusual is it that therapists can start their business with virtually NO startup costs?
When you stop and think about itâŠitâs actually pretty cool!
Starting part-time with your private practice is very doable with virtual therapy. As therapists, we can start with very little risk or financial investment. But...we can make an INCREDIBLE income for ourselves and our families!
Even if youâre brand new and have $0 to put into your private practice upfront, itâs totally possible to still get clients. I have three proven strategies to help you do just that!
In this episode, I cover:

To kick off the new year, I wanted to share 10 things I want you to stop worrying about on Instagram.
I get sooo many questions about these topics, and frankly, they are NOT important.
Theyâre not things that are going to âmove the needleâ, and really grow your Instagram page like I know you want to.
Itâs time to leave this stuff behind in 2024. Instead, letâs focus on what IS going to bring you bigger and better results!
In this episode, I cover:
The timing of your Instagram postsGetting stuck on creating the âperfectâ pieces of contentUsing hashtags in your postsCreating reel cover photosMeaningless engagement on Instagram vs. building an actual community thereWhat really matters when it comes to your background for photos & videosShowing MORE of you & your face on InstagramTalking more in your reels so people get to hear your voiceLetting go of your fear of saying the âwrongâ thingConnect with Kelly:

To kick off the new year, I wanted to re-air one of my most popular episodes from 2024. Iâm even MORE excited to share this one again, because I can now say that 2024 was my first 7-figure year in business!!
I canât wait to give you more of a behind the scenes look once I have all of my final numbers. In the meantime, enjoy this value-packed episode that will show you whatâs REALLY possible + inspires you to dream bigger!
In todayâs episode, Iâm giving you a BTS look at how I went from making $45/session, to $1 million/year as a therapist.
My best advice for you is to take some time, and reflect on what you want your private practice and work/life balance to look like - it doesnât have to look like what every other therapist out there is doing.
You absolutely CAN have a sustainable business that you love (and also makes you a sh*t ton of money), regardless of what anyone else tells you. I believe in you, and what you have to offer; I hope this episode encourages you to take action, and bet on yourself!
In this episode, I cover:
Where my career path started in 2014 + what ultimately led me back to therapy and starting my own private practiceMy decision to go âall inâ with my business and step away from my safe, 6-figure careerRealizing that trying something new doesnât mean itâs going to feel hard or uncomfortable foreverHow learning marketing impacted my business growth + the power that comes from betting on yourself and your dreamsWhat itâs been like for me to hustle & build my business + âscaling backâ in my therapy practiceGetting crystal clear on what you want your therapy practice to look likeConnect with Kelly:

In honor of Christmas, todayâs episode is going to be one of my MOST popular that aired a few months ago!
This time of year is the perfect time to sit down and reflect on what went well, and what you want to improve upon for the coming year. Iâve found that being intentional and giving myself permission to do things differently is super important.
This has allowed me to create a business that is both enjoyable AND sustainable, which leads me to todayâs topic!
One of the things I consistently share on Instagram is my monthly income report. You may have noticed that my income from 1-1 therapy clients isnât as high as it used to be. In fact...itâs pretty low, which has led people to ask me WHY that is.
Well...thatâs because I made the tough decision to see less therapy clients.
You may be thinking âwhy the heck would you do that?!â, or questioning if itâs possible for YOU to make 6 figures seeing 1-1 therapy clients.
I knew I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this topic and talk more in depth about WHY I decided to see less therapy clients. Quite a bit has changed for me along the way, so letâs get into it!
In this episode, I cover:
My first year in private practice with ONLY1-1 therapy clientsWhat happened when my Instagram really took offMy major business growth in 2022 + what needed to change in 2023Why I intentionally chose to see less 1-1 therapy clients in 2023 and what this looked likeWhy you MUST give yourself permission to do whatâs best for you and your businessConnect with Kelly:

Iâve got an important question for youâŠ
Whenâs the last time you gave yourself a raise? Like...actually raised your therapy rates because youâre really freaking good at what you do??
You work very hard, and I know that youâre a therapist who cares about your clients. In order to be the best for them though, you must prioritize yourself. You deserve a business that will not only give you job satisfaction, but financial security and freedom, too!
In todayâs episode, Iâm answering the question âwhen should you raise your therapy ratesâ. I want to share some different scenarios with you, because I know this wonât look the same for everyone.
I hope this episode inspires you to raise your therapy rates in 2025. I would love to hear how you plan to do it, and please know, Iâm ALWAYS cheering you on!!
In this episode, I cover:
Why you need to set yourself up for success BEFORE seeing clientsGiving yourself an annual raise, even when youâre happy with your current ratesWhat to do when you âundersoldâ yourself, but need your business to be sustainableConnect with Kelly:
