Takeaways from My Conversation with Raina LaGrand
Money doesn’t have to be an either-or. You can provide community care by charging full fees and offering other services such as a podcast, lower-cost groups or classes, or speaking engagements to further your reach in providing mental healthcare.
Permission to dream bigger. It’s possible to have a practice where you only see the types of clients who light you up and charge for those services.
Find those who support your dreams. Whether it’s other therapists, podcasts, or Instagram accounts, finding your fears quieted and seeing others--especially those in marginalized groups--make their businesses work for them is key.
