Description

Today's guest, Dr. Sumi Raghavan, PHD, joins me to talk about her powerful transition from academia to full-time private practice. She shares the motivations behind her decision, the challenges she faced along the way, and the key moments that shaped her journey.

We dive into what it was like to balance academic responsibilities while building a trauma-focused, cross-cultural therapy practice—and what ultimately led her to go all-in. Our conversation covers everything from strategic planning and marketing to niching and the emotional risks (and rewards) of stepping fully into private practice.
