Talking About Your Fees Without Feeling Awkward, Guilty, or Defensive

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable saying your fee out loud…
avoided conversations about money…
or found yourself over-explaining, discounting, or backtracking—

you’re not alone.

And more importantly: this is a skill you can learn.

In this practical, supportive workshop, you’ll learn how to talk about your fees clearly and confidently—without feeling awkward, apologetic, or defensive.

Because it’s not just about what you charge.
It’s about how you communicate your value.

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to say your fee simply and directly—without overthinking it.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• State your fee clearly and confidently (without over-explaining or apologizing)
• Respond to common questions like:
  “Do you take insurance?”
  “Why is it so expensive?”
  “Do you offer a discount?”
• Navigate fee conversations without feeling guilty, defensive, or pressured
• Set boundaries while still feeling warm, professional, and patient-centered
• Shift from “justifying your fee” → to confidently owning your value
• Stay grounded in these conversations—even when patients are anxious, surprised, or push back

You’ll walk away with:

• Clear, simple scripts you can start using immediately
• Real-time practice through guided role-play (so you’re not figuring this out alone)
• Greater confidence in handling fee conversations without spiraling or second-guessing
• A communication style that feels authentic to you—not scripted or robotic

Who this is for:

• Psychiatrists and physicians in private practice
• Clinicians transitioning to private pay or hybrid models
• Anyone who knows what they should charge—but struggles to actually say it out loud

Bonus

You’ll receive a script library + objection-handling guide so you can continue practicing and refining your approach after the workshop.
