Money Narratives & Therapist Realities: A Community Conversation
A supportive space for therapists to talk honestly about money, including financial anxiety, shame, instability, and the pressures of balancing client care with the realities of running a practice.
This gathering is for any therapist who finds themselves:
• Struggling with financial instability or unpredictable income
• Feeling pressure to take more clients than they can sustainably hold
• Trying to balance client care with the realities of running a small business
• Battling money shame or beliefs about their worth being tied to their earnings
• Wrestling with insurance panel frustrations, reimbursement delays, or clawbacks
• Coping with seasonal financial ebbs and flows that heighten anxiety
• Feeling alone with the stress of budgeting, planning, or inconsistent cash flow
During this community event, we hope to create a space where our relationships with money can be discussed openly and without judgment, where the realities of this work are acknowledged, and where therapists can feel less alone with the financial stressors they’re often expected to quietly absorb.
This free community gathering will be facilitated by Ann Dypiangco, LCSW, Clinical Community Lead at Mental Health Match.
