Comments on: What Do Your Fees Say? The Tale of Hiring a Therapist http://www.seattlemoneycoach.com/what-do-your-fees-say-the-tale-of-hiring-a-therapist Financial Recovery Coach and Author Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:30:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Teresa Randall http://www.seattlemoneycoach.com/what-do-your-fees-say-the-tale-of-hiring-a-therapist/comment-page-1#comment-98 Teresa Randall Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:38:18 +0000 http://www.womenearning.com/blog/?p=321#comment-98 I am a professional home organizer, and when I first began working one-on-one with clients, I charged well below the lowest fee for pro organizers nationwide. My thinking was that I was new in this business and needed to build a client base. BAD MOVE! I have since learned--and your book and blog are helping me, Mikelanne!--that the caliber of clients I wish to work with would NOT pay such a low fee for an organizer! So I bumped up my fee (still low, but I'm learning), and I am attracting easier-to-work-with clients who pay on time. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR WOMEN!

I had this conversation with a colleague of mine; she feels it's "inappropriate" to charge over a certain dollar amount for the work that we both do. I pointed out to her that in ten years, most practitioners' rates haven't even gone up, yet the cost of living has skyrocketed. Why do corporate employees receive raises while we keep ourselves stuck working our knuckles to the bone just so we can scrape by and barely pay the mortgage?

I graduated last year and I can tell you that 98 percent of my class had this issue, and what is worse is that our own bad relationship with money get on the way of being an excellent therapist.
