  • Outstanding Resource!

    I especially appreciate the focus on solo private practice owners who actually love doing therapy. Not everyone wants to expand beyond the couch, scale up to a group practice, or go into coaching. If a solo private practice is your passion, this is definitely a podcast for you.

  • Sooo helpful!

    I closely relate to the stories of these therapists, and it’s helping me work through my own financial anxiety! I hadn’t looked at leaving insurance for so long because I felt obligated to be there for my clients (even through my own burnout), but now I feel much more empowered to make some of these hard decisions around raising my fees! Thank you, Tiffany and everyone at LIMB!

  • Mandatory Curriculum for Peer Counselors & Therapists

There is a story that everyone can relate to because providers from all walks of life are generously sharing their path to charging premium fees and taking care of themselves all while breaking generational patterns to do so. Tiffany does not hold back and challenges each participant with thought provoking questions that get straight to the heart of the matter. You get to see money work live in action!

  • Dose of encouragement

    I LOVE this podcast. I love Tiffany’s passion about supporting therapists to go self-pay, charging premium fees, and having the practice you want. She clearly has a well developed approach, and a wonderful communicator. I have been going private pay for way too long, and finally did it. But I keep listening to every new podcast, because I find another dose of encouragement, reassurance, and clarity on my journey. I already work with a practice consultant (when I realized I couldn’t do it on... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From $110 to $250/session with Jesse Hernandez, LPC
Q: What triggered the shift to charging more?
A combination of recognizing his own value, the toll of long hours, and the belief that he could make more while still serving clients, reinforced by community support and personal mindset work.
From $110 to $250/session with Jesse Hernandez, LPC
Q: What was Jesse's fee when he started and how did his earnings look?
He was charging mainly $80–$150, with an actual average around $110 per session, which was not sustainable given his hours and family needs.
