The Beachfront Therapist

Helping Female Clients Achieve Career Goals

Episode 36

Many therapists own and run their own business, yet mental health graduate programs rarely provide formal business training. Most of our graduate programs are focused on the requirements for licensure and the skills needed to be a therapist, leaving little time for learning business management skills. For many of us, taking on the role of business owner, and female business owner, is an entirely new experience. Our guest today, Stacy Mayer talks with us about the socially assigned roles women are given and how they impact us as professionals and business owners; she also discusses how to lean into these roles and work with them for the sake of our businesses. Finally, Stacy shares the concept of “and”: being authentically yourself and a powerful woman in business.
