S2E32 | I Don't Like to Be Put in a Box | Sex Therapy, Private Pay & Building on Your Own Terms | Malia Scott, LPC, CSCT
<html><p>This week I sat down with Malia Scott, a licensed professional counselor and certified sex and couples therapist based in Lubbock, Texas, and the founder of Rewilding Relationships. Malia specializes in relationship and erotic recovery and has been private pay from day one. She started her PLLC the day she graduated. She knew what she wanted and she went after it.</p><p>We talked about what rewilding actually means and where that word came from for her, how she built a practice around sex therapy when you cannot say the word sex on social media, the think global act local networking strategy she applies across Texas, Colorado, and beyond, why she quit drinking a year and a half ago and what that did for her nervous system and her practice, what she witnessed working with sex workers through Pineapple Support, and why the numbers are just not numbering for insurance based practitioners right now.</p><p>She also said something I want everyone to hear. Do good work and have good boundaries. That is the whole thing.</p><p>Malia has a free webinar coming up on August 27th from noon to 1pm CST called Rewilding Your Practice: The Decision to Leave Insurance. And this fall she is running an eight-week deep dive cohort starting September 10th for therapists who are ready to go all the way into that decision making process.</p><p>If this episode lit something up for you, let's talk.

S2E30 | Research Is Me Search | Niche Clarity, Networking & Building a Practice Around Who You Are | Dr. Matt Richardson
<html><p>This week I sat down with Dr. Matt Richardson, a psychologist based in Boston licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Maine, and Florida. Matt specializes in high-achieving millennial gay men navigating body shame, disordered eating, and anxiety. When I saw that niche I knew immediately that this person knows exactly who they want to work with.</p><p>Matt opened his doors the same day he got licensed in August 2024. He came in knowing what he wanted to do, transitioned off insurance quickly, and has since completed close to a hundred networking calls in his first year. He is doing a lot of things right. Getting in front of his ideal client in a meaningful way is the work in progress.</p><p>We talked about how he built a niche from his own lived experience with an eating disorder, why he struggled to find anyone in the field who understood how these issues showed up in gay men, the networking strategy that is working for him, where LGBT-owned allied health practices fit into his referral picture, what community talks and podcast appearances are opening up, and what it means to make sure you actually get paid when someone asks you to present.</p><p>He also said something I love. Research is me search. That is how the best niches get built.</p><p>If this episode got you thinking about who you are actually built to serve, let's talk.

S2E31 | The Nudge | Private Pay, Trust & Building a Practice That Feels Like Yours | Jacqui Nelson, LMHC
<html><p>This week I sat down with Jacqui Nelson, a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Liminal Psychotherapy in Spokane, Washington. Jacqui specializes in religious trauma, faith deconstruction, identity reconstruction, and childhood trauma. She is also an approved supervisor and is hosting her first retreat this fall called The Slumber Party Retreat.</p><p>Jacqui got kicked out of her church at 28. That experience of profound loss, confusion, and identity collapse is exactly what led her to the work she does now. She does not just understand religious trauma clinically. She lived it.</p><p>We talked about what it looks like to leave insurance six months ago and not look back, how she dropped half her caseload when she sent that email and then watched new referrals show up anyway, why she pulled a tarot card at a retreat that said abundance and decided to follow that nudge, what private pay has opened up for her beyond the therapy room including groups, public speaking at $2,500 a talk, and a retreat she filled with nine people on her first try.</p><p>She also said something about the insurance companies that I think a lot of you have been thinking but haven't said out loud. They are predatory toward the clinician and predatory toward the client.</p><p>This one is good. Go listen.</p><p>Jacqui Nelson: <a href="https://liminal-psychotherapy.com" target="_blank">liminal-psychotherapy.com</a><br/>Instagram: @liminal-psychotherapy</p><p>If this episode got you thinking about your own transition, let's talk.
