Episode 218: BONUS Part 2 — Recession-Proof Security Beyond Your Therapy Practice

Feeling the turbulence in our economy and the mental health industry?

In this episode, Patrick Casale shares hard-won lessons from running a group practice and launching multiple ventures—all while navigating burnout and uncertainty. Whether you’re a clinician, small business owner, or entrepreneur, his insights are timely and actionable.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Diversify Your Income Streams: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. In uncertain times, it’s crucial to build additional revenue channels beyond 1:1 therapy—think coaching, courses, podcasting, writing, or retreat hosting.
2. Fortify Your Foundation Before Expanding: Before leaping into new projects, make sure your primary source of income is secure. Build around what’s working rather than abandoning it out of excitement or impulse.
3. Mindset Matters: Self-doubt, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome hold many back from launching new initiatives. Patrick Casale encourages us to “doubt yourself, do it anyway”—a reminder that starting imperfectly beats waiting for the perfect moment.

If you’re looking to step beyond traditional therapy, recession-proof your business, and want to learn more about diversifying income through retreat hosting, podcasting, and writing books, check out the Beyond Private Practice: Recession Proofing Intensive on December 12, 2025.
