In this episode, I sit down with Maria, CEO of Mentaya, to discuss how therapists can increase their consult conversion rate without lowering their fees. We share practical ways to confidently communicate your value, address money objections and help private-pay clients understand their out-of-network insurance benefits.

Make sure to bring your paper and pen because this episode is full of actionable tips!

Here are some key points in this episode:
