In this unforgettable episode of The Money Sessions, Tiffany sits down with Krissy Johnson, LMFT, whose path into private practice is anything but traditional. Before becoming a therapist, Krissy toured the country as a performer. When COVID shut down the industry, she finally used the therapy degree she had earned years earlier\u2014quickly building a full private practice on insurance panels and seeing 25 clients a week. On paper, things looked great. She was bringing in around $8K a month. But behind the scenes, she was exhausted\u2014often juggling 20\u201325 clients a week while performing in a musical eight shows a week in Las Vegas. Even though her practice was \u201cfull,\u201d her time wasn\u2019t hers. Her schedule was packed, her energy was drained, and she knew something had to change. Today, Krissy charges a $310 Life-First Fee, works with a highly specific niche, and sees about 5\u20136 clients per week. Her income is currently lower than it was before\u2014but her life is completely different. She has spacious mornings, time to write music, and the freedom to build a practice around the work that truly matters to her.
