If so, you're in the right place. The Bad Therapist Show is the go-to resource for established solo therapists and group practice owners who want to grow profitable businesses, lead with confidence, and create more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment in their lives. Hosted by Felicia Keller Boyle, aka The Bad Therapist®, LMFT, former six-figure private practice owner, therapist business coach, and creator of the Liberated Business™ method, this show challenges the belief that therapists have to choose between helping people, making money, and enjoying their lives. Through her coaching, courses, and innovative private practice fee calculator, The Magic Sheets™, Felicia has helped hundreds of therapists build more profitable practices, create additional income streams, and step into true business ownership—without sacrificing the work they love or the life they’re building. Each week, you'll hear honest conversations about private practice growth, marketing, leadership, money, boundaries, identity, and the realities of running a therapy business.

For so many therapists, \"good therapist conditioning\" tells us we have to choose. We can be ethical or profitable. Dedicated or well-rested. Great clinicians or savvy business owners. I don't believe that's true and working with 100+ therapists has proven it. In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe becoming a better business owner can make you a better therapist, why having a full life outside your practice matters, and why challenging these myths has become the mission behind everything I do. You'll hear about the studio shoot where I literally wheeled my motorcycle onto set, the five concepts we wrestled with before landing on this one and the three personas you see in the new artwork. They aren't three different people. They're all parts of the same therapist: the therapist who's genuinely great at her job and cares deeply about her clients, the confident CEO, and a real human with a full life outside of work. They're all me—and my hope is that when you see them, you see yourself too. Because I truly believe you can be an incredible therapist, build a profitable business, and create a life you genuinely love. Press play and meet the version of yourself good therapist conditioning told you to hide.
