More Than the Chair: Exploring Income Beyond 1:1 Work
A Summer Workshop Series for Therapists Ready to Diversify Their Income
Thursday & Fridays | 11:00–12:30 PM CST | Live on Zoom
Led by Vanessa Newton, LCSW-S | Therapist CEO, Consultant, and Creator
You became a therapist to help people—but what if helping others didn’t have to mean maxing out your schedule just to make ends meet?
What’s This All About?
More Than the Chair: Exploring Income Beyond 1:1 Work is a 4-part summer workshop series created for therapists who want to grow their income without leaving their practice, their clients, or their community behind.
In today’s economic landscape, relying solely on 1:1 sessions can lead to burnout, stagnation, or the belief that you have to leave the therapy room to grow. This series offers a different path—one that honors your role as a clinician while helping you tap into new, sustainable income streams rooted in your strengths, passions, and purpose.
Each 90-minute workshop focuses on a specific income pathway—from digital products to group offerings, strategic partnerships, and consulting. Join one, or mix and match to build your own summer bundle.
This isn’t about quitting therapy. It’s about expanding what’s possible while staying anchored in the work you love.
