3 money myths that therapists secretly believe 👀

Let’s talk about something that makes a lot of therapists squirm: money.

Most of us were never taught how to think about money — just how to avoid it. And those old beliefs sneak into our practices every single day.

Here are the top 3 myths I see keeping therapists stuck at “barely enough”:

💭 Myth #1: “Charging more makes therapy less accessible.” Truth: when you’re underpaid and overworked, you can’t sustainably stay in the field — and that’s the least accessible outcome of all.

💭 Myth #2: “I need to help everyone.” You don’t. You need to help the people you’re most effective with. Abundance comes from clarity, not quantity.

💭 Myth #3: “I’m not good with business stuff.” You built a private practice from scratch — that’s entrepreneurship, my friend. The difference between struggle and stability usually comes down to systems, not skill.

Here’s your gentle homework:

Take 5 minutes today and write down one belief you’re ready to release around money.

Then, replace it with this affirmation:

“The more supported I am, the more deeply I can support my clients.”
