The Myths That Keep You Undercharging and Overworking as a Therapist
Update: 2025-08-27
Description
So many therapists are undercharging and overworking. I see this happen WAY too often with the individuals in our field. But it's not because you're "bad with money" or "not cut out for private practice."
Nope - it's the MYTHS you've been told that are keeping you stuck! These myths sound noble on the surface, but in reality? They're pushing you straight toward exhaustion, burnout, and frustration.
In today's episode, I'm diving into the myths that keep you undercharging and overworking as a therapist.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why the “underpaid & overworked” cycle matters + stats to prove it
- The myth of “affordable care” + why it keeps you stuck
- The truth about accessibility (and why it’s not all on you)
- Creative ways to be affordable or accessible if you WANT to
- The myth that you need more training or certifications to raise rates
- The fear of losing clients when you change your schedule or increase rates
