How I Transitioned Off Insurance and Ref...

I want to give you a behind-the-scenes look at a part of my private practice journey that doesn’t always get the spotlight. It’s not super sexy or exciting, but… it was pivotal!

When I first launched my private practice, I was living in New York City with a full-time job, bills to pay, and zero wiggle room. Insurance was my lifeline! 

Getting paneled with insurance allowed me to quickly fill my caseload. I was able to replace enough income to confidently quit my nonprofit management job. 

I got paneled through Alma, which operates a bit like a group practice. By early 2021, I was bringing in $6k/month from insurance clients alone!

In this episode, I cover: 

• Building a private practice caseload while paneled w/insurance + my experience with Alma
• My transition from insurance-based clients to private pay at $250 per session
• How to go about telling your existing clients that you’re getting off insurance
• My advice for transitioning off insurance & growing your private pay caseload
