In this episode, we’re speaking with Vicky Truong, a trauma and couples therapist who now charges $300/session and specializes in adult children of immigrants. 

From full-time legal work to burnout in a group practice to thriving in her own premium-fee private practice—Vicky’s story will challenge everything you think you know about what's possible in this field.

If you’ve ever believed your ideal clients “can’t afford” therapy—or worried about being a good enough therapist to charge premium rates—Vicky is about to flip the script.

 

In this episode, Vicky shares:

 

What it looked like to work full-time in the legal field while getting her PhD and pre-licensed therapy hours on nights and weekends;

Why charging $70/session on Open Path almost wrecked her health and clinical confidence;

The moment she realized she was jealous of her clients—and how that became a wake-up call;

Her tender truth about being too tired to show up for her daughter—and the dream that pushed her to change it all;

How she raised her rates to $300/session—and booked two clients at that rate in a single day.
