Money Matters Coaching for Practicing Psychotherapists
Sally K. Palaian, Ph.D.
    Sally often helps therapists, coaches, financial planners and other professionals on how to
deal more effectively with their clients over their clients' money matters.  Often these money
matters involve your own fees that you charge your clients.

    How would you answer these questions?

  •  Do you avoid dealing with your clients' money dilemmas?
  •  Do you feel you must apologize for your rates?
  •  Do you allow some clients to accrue large balances?
  •  Are you afraid to charge for late cancels or hold firm money boundaries?

    If you have troubles with the above, you’re not alone…working with Sally will help you to be
more successful with your money and your practice.  She offers professional coaching that will
enable you to explore your own personal patterns with money – leading up to the ultimate goal of
having better financial boundaries with your clients.
    Here are the benefits you will receive from this coaching.  You will...   

  •  Improve your clinical services because money is no longer a problem between you and your client
  •  Understand your client’s projections about money onto you
  •  Look at your own money dilemmas so you can provide your services without money interfering
  •  Challenge your clients’ dysfunctional money patterns to help them have greater clarity both with you and in other areas
    of their life
  •  Feel less stress about your livelihood
  •  Feel more pride about your career selection

    Treating Money Disorders

    This one on one consulting is designed for psychotherapists, coaches, financial planners and other service
professionals who want to gain skills for helping clients with problematic money behaviors.   Often these difficult and financially
challenged clients:  

  •  Cannot discern real values and dreams in life
  •  Are chronically disorganized about their finances
  •  Are out of control with shopping or spending
  •  Are unclear about how to set up a budget
  •  Are impulsive in many areas of life

    Private consultations include practical strategies and skills to help these clients who may be compulsive spenders or
shoppers, chronically in debt, hoarders or financial underachievers.  The consultations are individually tailored to fill in the
gaps of your professional training and may be based on an understanding of the full spectrum of the Money Matrix as outlined
in Sally’s book, Spent: Break the Buying Obsession and Discover Your True Worth.
