Money Skills For Therapists

Join Linzy Bonham, therapist and creator of Money Skills for Therapists, as she demystifies all things private practice finances through short and sweet solo episodes, conversations with therapists who have transformed their relationships with money, and live coaching calls with Money Skills for Therapists students.

As therapists and health practitioners, caring for other people can feel automatic, while caring for yourself can feel uncomfortable, overly indulgent, or like something you will finally get to once everyone else is okay.
