Breaking the Unspoken Rules of Private Practice for MomsThis episode of The Therapist Mom Podcast is packed with honest insights and personal strategies for building a private therapy practice that truly fits your life as a mom. If you’ve been feeling boxed in by the “right way” to run a practice or you wonder how to create a sustainable business without sacrificing family time (or yourself), you’re in the right place. As a therapist, coach, and mom navigating both private practice and motherhood, I know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel to do things differently—but also how powerful it is to finally give yourself permission to break those rules that don’t serve you. Grab a cup of coffee (or cold tea, let’s be real!), and let’s talk through the unspoken norms keeping therapists stuck—and exactly how you can let them go.Whether you’re brand new to private practice or wrestling with burnout after years in the field, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with practical tools and the encouragement you need to create more freedom and sustainability in your work and your life. I’ll also share a bit of my own story about shifting priorities after becoming a mom and what finally letting go of these rules made possible for me, my practice, and my family.What You’ll Learn in This Episode1.

You Don’t Have to Center Your Practice Around Your Clients’ SchedulesLet’s break this down: For too long, therapists (especially moms) have shaped their lives around client demands—picking up extra evenings, weekends, and constantly flexing their personal needs. I used to do the same before my first child was born, but once I had a baby, I realized just how precious and limited my energy and time had become. Shifting to a schedule that fits school runs, family dinners, and downtime didn’t make my practice suffer; it made it sustainable. Most clients will find a way to make your boundaries work—or they aren’t your clients, and that’s okay.2. You Can Have a Successful Fully Online PracticeHere’s how you can start implementing this TODAY:Step 1: Evaluate your true preference for in-person vs. online work. What’s actually best for you?Step 2: Communicate your availability and online format clearly to prospective clients—don’t apologize.Step 3: Use my free Comprehensive Connecting Scripts to network with virtual-friendly referral sources (grab it via the link below).Remember, online therapy is not only legitimate; it increases accessibility for your clients and opens up more time/flexibility for you as a mom and a business owner.3. You Are Allowed to Charge Fees That Support YouWe all make mistakes, but let’s save you the headache. Here’s what NOT to do when setting your rates:Mistake 1: Letting shame or judgment from colleagues dictate your financial choices.Mistake 2: Believing you’re unethical for wanting income that supports your family, retirement, or time off.Mistake 3: Ignoring your personal/family needs when calculating your rates.Your fees reflect the sustainability of your work—not your worth or “goodness” as a therapist.Join us for Therapist Mom Networking Meetup — a casual space to connect with other therapist moms, share what’s working in your practice, talk through challenges, and build real community.
