In this workshop, therapists will be introduced to money healing and why our relationship with money matters for private practice sustainability, ethical client care, and overall wellness.
We’ll explore how unexamined money narratives shaped by trauma, scarcity, and shame influence financial behaviors such as fee setting, sliding scale decisions, caseload sustainability, and boundaries, as well as therapists’ confidence and emotional relationship with money.
Therapists will gain insight into common money patterns and learn trauma-informed tools to unlearn limiting beliefs and make clearer, more grounded money decisions.
This workshop is designed for:
This training is ideal for therapists in private practice at any stage who want to build a more sustainable, well-resourced practice and feel more confident around money.
It will be especially helpful for therapists who notice patterns of undercharging, overgiving, avoidance of financial decisions, or ongoing stress around income and boundaries.
The training is relevant across licenses and modalities and will resonate most with values-driven therapists who care about ethical practice, long-term wellness, and sustainability.

Clarity about their dominant money pattern and how it shows up in fee setting, boundaries, caseload decisions, and practice sustainability.
A trauma-informed approach to making money decisions that they can apply when money feels activating or overwhelming.
Practical strategies for unlearning limiting money beliefs that contribute to undercharging, overgiving, and avoidance, while building confidence around money.
