Ever wondered what it would be like to go from 30 clients a week, burned out and underpaid, to a thriving private practice built around your values and strengths? In this episode, I chat with Natasha Dean, a clinician in Baltimore, about her incredible three-year journey from group practice overwhelm to confidently charging $200 per session and attracting right-fit clients.
Natasha shares the pivotal mindset shifts that helped her trust herself, market authentically, and stop playing small. We talk about how she found her micro niche (therapy for Muslim adult children of immigrants), transitioned off insurance panels, and discovered the joy of brainspotting intensives. She also opens up about how Confident Copy helped her write copy that truly resonates—not just for therapy, but for other creative projects too.
Whether you're on the edge of burnout or dreaming of a more aligned practice, this episode will leave you inspired to believe in what's possible.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ Why being a "blank slate" therapist might be burning you out—and what happens when you finally show up as yourself
2️⃣ The power of choosing a micro niche and how specificity actually attracts more of the right clients
3️⃣ How Natasha reframed a "slow market" and leaned into long-term networking that continues to pay off
