**For licensed and pre-licensed mental health therapists.** Join a fast, friendly **30-minute Live Q&A** on the business side of running a therapy practice: billing, insurance, pricing, intakes, payer panels, tech, and everyday workflows. Quick intros to share your specialty and who you see, so peers know when to refer. Then we’ll move on to your questions.

**Agenda**

* Quick intros: name, license, specialty, location, and who you see, so peers know when to refer
* Live Q&A: business and operations questions for Justin and Michelle

**Guidance on questions**
We focus on **business and operations**: payer panels, pricing, client intake flow, automation and tools, productivity, scheduling, revenue cycle basics.

Prompts if you’re not sure where to start:

* What is one change that would save me 30 minutes a week?
* How can I speed up eligibility and benefits checks?
* What should I handle before applying to a specific payer?
* How are peers managing no-shows and late cancellations?

**Accessibility and vibe**
Cameras optional, kindness expected. If turnout is small, it becomes an even more focused Q&A, giving you extra space for your questions.

**Note**
Late arrivals are welcome, join when you can. Sessions stay on the business side of practice: no clinical consultation, no promised referrals, and no legal or tax advice. Members may share who they see so peers know when to refer, but all connections are peer-to-peer.

Support Circle

If you’re running, part of, or starting a practice in Washington, **2026 insurance shifts will change how clients use benefits and how you get paid.** This briefing will help you feel prepared, not blindsided.

We’ll touch on Medicaid reimbursement increases, Cascade Select’s capped rates and growing enrollment, tighter parity enforcement, high-deductible plans, and what’s likely to stick with telehealth. We’ll also look at workforce strain—and how hybrid care can help keep things sustainable.

**You’ll walk away with practical tools and takeaways, including:**

* A **one-page prep checklist** for 2026
* **Three practical tweaks** for pricing, scheduling, and payer mix
* **Conversation scripts** for high-deductible clients
* A short **watch list** of items to confirm with your top payers
* Simple ways **automation** can save you hours each week

We’ll wrap with **10–15 minutes of Q&A** so you can ask what’s on your mind—or just listen in.

**Format & feel**

* 30-min briefing + 10–15 min Q&A
* Business/ops focus (not clinical or legal advice)
* Cameras optional, kindness expected
* Replay for all RSVPs
