In this episode, we’re speaking with Monica Helvie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and LIMB Academy grad based in Texas. Monica specializes in helping anxious achievers rediscover inner and outer balance, and also offers burnout recovery coaching for high-achieving career women.

Monica’s story is a powerful transformation from survival mode to success—from working multiple jobs, barely making it to daycare pickups, and feeling stuck in the insurance panel grind—to charging $250 per session, seeing just ten clients per week, and reclaiming her time, energy, and life.

If you’re stuck in survival mode, burning out under low insurance rates, or just dreaming of a different way to run your practice, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

In this episode, Monica shares:

How Monica went from three insurance panels and $50 cash pay sessions to a fully private pay practice charging $250 per session;

Three signs that being an insurance-based therapist was leading to burnout and causing her to recreate the old patterns of the hardworking-but-absent parent that she grew up with;

What’s currently working for Monica when it comes to marketing her premium fee practice;

Monica’s advice for therapists who are currently overwhelmed with insurance clients but don’t see any way out;

How her relationships, parenting, and personal life have flourished now that she’s no longer drowning in work;

How it was the idea of time freedom - and not necessarily more money - that allowed Monica to make massive changes in her life.
