About this course
• Healer vs. Merchant: Managing self-judgment around fees • Grey Areas: Bartering, gifts, and boundary considerations • Fee for Service: Ethical realities and clinician responsibilities • Upcoding: Risks of diagnosing for insurance coverage • Non Payment: Abandonment vs. appropriate termination
We’re trained to navigate complex trauma and deep emotional wounds. But when it comes to money? We’re often ill-equipped, uncomfortable and anxious when discussion fees, insurance upcoding, or the ethics of private pay. Reality is, money is always going to be part of the equation in our work. And your lack of comfort with it, the fear of judgment or practical budgetary demands could threaten to influence your clinical decisions. That’s why we created this 3-hour training to help you navigate financial conversations with clarity, uphold ethical standards, and stay aligned with your clinical purpose – even when money enters the room. From the ethics of “holding on to” clients for financial stability to the high-stakes decisions around collections, fee setting, and non-payment discharges … … you’ll learn to untangle the emotional, systemic, and ethical pressures that shape money decisions in therapy – and how to respond.
