HHW Therapists 40 - Should Therapists Add Coaching?

Amanda gets into one of the most common questions she hears from therapists: should you add coaching to your practice? This isn't a vague "it depends" answer. She walks through the real pros and cons, what therapists consistently get wrong when making this decision, and the four questions you need to answer before you build anything. The pros are genuine: more creative freedom, higher income ceiling, and the ability to use more of what you already know. But the cons are just as real. Protecting your license, unpredictable ROI, client expectations, and the reality of building a second business from scratch all deserve serious thought. If you've been on the fence about adding coaching, this is the honest conversation you actually needed.
