What It's About:
Welcome to the wild world of therapy in 2024, where you're not just dodging burnout and managing heavy caseloads, but also trying to figure out how to keep your lights on amidst inflation, soaring healthcare costs, and an economy that feels like it’s riding a rollercoaster—except no one’s sure if it’s going up or down. Yeah, you’ve got a front-row seat. This continuing education course is designed for Texas therapists who are not only concerned with clinical expertise but also navigating the minefield of financial realities and ethical dilemmas that arise when the economy, healthcare, and inflation come together like an awkward family reunion. We’re diving deep into the nitty-gritty of billing practices, setting appropriate fees (without feeling like a sell-out), and even considering bartering services. (But don't think you can trade therapy for a chicken—at least, not without reading the ethical fine print.) But that’s just the beginning. We’ll also touch on the delicate dance of accepting gifts from clients (is it a heartfelt thank you or a potential boundary violation?), how to avoid unintentionally imposing your values on someone from a completely different background, and how to handle the tricky business of termination—because while ghosting might fly on dating apps, it’s a no-go in therapy. We’re here to make sure you avoid harm, address multicultural issues with finesse, and ultimately keep your practice ethical, inclusive, and sustainable. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the tools to navigate everything from billing nightmares to the emotional minefield of client termination, all while ensuring your practice stays solid and your clients stay supported—because no one wants to be that therapist who jumps ship when the economy gets weird. Let’s dive in and make sure you’re ready for whatever financial and ethical curveballs come your way.
