In Washington State, some therapists are waiting 6 to 9 months for their license to be approved, right in the middle of a shortage of clinicians. It's one more sign of how strained the system is, and how heavy the judgment can feel for providers trying to build sustainable careers.
In this episode, Kendall Hagensen and Anna Rudel tackle the “no-win cycle of shame” around insurance versus private pay. Accept insurance and you may be told you're undervaluing yourself. Skip it and you may be told you're making care inaccessible. Kendall shares what she was taught in graduate school about “doing your time” in community mental health, and why self-sacrifice is a privilege not everyone can afford. Anna brings her perspective from the acupuncture world, including why no single small business can fix the failures of the American healthcare system.
They also talk about why profit pays for support staff and a safety buffer, and whether a year of copays really costs less than a few months of out-of-network care.
Along the way, they admit they don't have all the answers, only an honest conversation worth having.
