Abundant Practice Podcast

In today's Ask Allison, we're digging into how to evaluate group practice expenses—and whether what you're paying is actually worth it. We'll walk through how to assess return on investment, compare your rent or percentage to the real cost of going solo, and understand the tradeoffs that come with group practice support and infrastructure. If you're trying to decide whether your group practice expense makes sense, should be renegotiated, or is a sign it's time to branch out on your own, this episode is for you. You'll learn how to evaluate the numbers clearly, ask better questions, and make decisions grounded in reality—not guesswork. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

In today's Ask Allison, we're tackling a big one: how to start a private practice when ADHD makes organization feel impossible. The quickest way to get moving? The Getting Started Checklist. It breaks everything into clear, bite-sized steps so you can take action without the overwhelm. After that, it's all about working with your brain, not against it—body doubling, timeboxing, EHR automations, batching, and delegating the tasks you'll never do anyway. These simple supports keep things moving without burning you out. Bottom line: ADHD isn't the barrier. You just need systems built for how you work.

In today's Ask Allison, we're answering a common question: How do you increase your income in private practice without starting a group or building new programs? There's a lot of talk about "passive income," but most of those models require ongoing marketing and a real love for creating content. So instead, we focus on the most straightforward path for solo clinicians: raising your fees to premium rates. I'll walk through how private-pay pricing can significantly increase your annual income without adding hours or managing a team. By the end, you'll have a clear, sustainable way to grow your income while keeping your practice simple and aligned. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

In today's Ask Allison, we're answering a big one: How do you move to a new state, keep seeing your current clients, and legally run your therapy business in both places? Short answer: your license and your business are two separate systems—and you have to update each one differently.

You'll also learn how foreign registration works, what to update once your new entity is approved, and how to keep your business name if it's available. By the end, you'll know the exact steps to make your interstate move legal, smooth, and totally doable. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
