In this episode, we’re speaking with Rachel Hulstein-Lowe, MSW, a Licensed and Independent Clinical Social Worker and LIMB Grad based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Rachel is a gender diversity expert who specializes in working with trans and nonbinary youth and their families. Rachel is also committed to making an impact beyond her client relationships via her activist efforts.

But Rachel didn’t always have the time and energy to fully invest in social and political activism.

In today’s episode, Rachel will share why she decided to take a leap and start her own practice after 13 years in a group practice.

She’ll also get real about the difficulty of charging premium fees, and the reality check that forced her to confront the professional trajectory she had chosen for herself.

Keep listening to find out what made Rachel finally say “no more.”

In this episode, Rachel shares:

How she moved from working in a group practice to ultimately charging $250/session;

How comparing her professional trajectory to her peers in other industries forced her to get real about the choices she was making in her professional life;

How charging premium fees allowed her to actually go out and make a bigger impact in the lives of gender diverse kids and their families;

Two specific strategies you can use to get off insurance panels and charge premium fees.

In the sequel to last week’s episode, we’re once again speaking with Jesse Kauffman, a Licensed Master Social Worker and LIMB Grad based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

If you haven’t already listened to part one of his story, make sure you check it out here. (We’ll be waiting right here while you catch up.)

This week, Jesse walks us through his experience with what many of us would consider to be our worst nightmare.

He took the leap, raised his fee, charged more than anyone in his area… and then had a client lodge a complaint against him with his board.

And not only did they lodge the complaint, but an investigation was actually opened.

In this episode, Jesse will describe what that experience was like and what he learned along the way.

In this episode, Jesse shares:

His harrowing story of stepping into his full fee even when it meant having a licensing complaint lodged against him;

How he sought support to make it through this difficult situation;

How liability insurance came into play and how much it cost him to secure a lawyer to assist him;

Why it’s vital to keep your notes up to date in order to have a premium fee practice (keep listening to hear how this comes into play);

Exactly what you need to say if someone ever lodges a complaint against you or says your fee is too high (Jesse has a perfect answer).

In this episode, we’re speaking with Jesse Kauffman, a Licensed Master Social Worker and LIMB Grad based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jesse specializes in supporting professionals with ADHD, and has recently been working with ADHD dads in the tech industry.

While Jesse is confidently navigating his niche while charging as much as $300/session now, it wasn’t always this way for him; he started out in Community Mental Health, and he experienced his fair share of naysayers throughout his transition to a premium fee private practice.

You definitely don’t want to miss this.

No, seriously, make sure you tune in, because this episode is so nice we did it twice; part two of Jesse’s story is coming out next week.

In this episode, Jesse shares:

Why he decided to leave Community Mental Health and go into private practice;

The difference between relationships that encouraged him and propelled him forward and relationships that discouraged him and held him back during his journey towards a premium fee private practice;

How doing his fee and money work impacted his life far beyond his financial situation;

His experience with negative feedback and hurtful comments regarding his professional dreams, and his advice for therapists navigating similar situations;

His fears that charging premium fees would blow up his practice, and how he made the changes anyway despite how scary and dangerous it felt.
