Therapy is such an important part of mental health management, but this year, it may seem like more of a luxury than a necessity. In our October episode, Mike and Leanna continue their discussion about why therapy is important for freelancers and self-employed workers, and how they can make it happen.

Part 2 of Therapy for Freelancers focuses on finding the right therapist...and paying them! Mike and Leanna walk share their own experiences with paying for therapy over the years and some tactics for finding the right type of mental health help for your budget and needs. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Different kinds of therapy
• Paying for therapy with and without insurance 
• Negotiating rates with your therapist
• Other therapy options for self-employed (and people on a tight budget!)

In this 3-part series, we’re really going to examine what freelancers can get out of therapy and HOW they can get the right support, even on a budget or without insurance.

In this episode, Mike and Leanna Lee discuss why freelancers should consider therapy...and what it can do for your business. 

Be sure to listen all the way till the end for a very important insight that will help you grow your business.
