Ashley Comegys
136 episodes
1 day ago
Motherhood and private practice aren’t two separate worlds, they’re your whole world colliding every day. The Therapist Mom Podcast is your weekly reminder that you can build a practice that fits your life, not the other way around. Being a therapist and a mom isn’t about balance, it’s about building differently and refusing to play by rules that were never written for us. Hosted by Ashley Comegys, a therapist, coach, and mom of three. You’ll hear candid stories, rebellious truths, and practical strategies for designing a practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and room to breathe. The Therapist Mom Podcast is your permission slip to build a private practice that works for your real life. Each week, you’ll get honest conversations and practical strategy around starting, growing, and running a private practice, without the hustle, guilt, or burnout. We’ll talk about boundaries, money, motherhood, and dismantling the systems that were never built for us in the first place. Because you’re not “just a mom” or “just a therapist.” You’re both, and deserve a business that recognizes and respects that. If you’re ready to build a flexible, values-aligned private practice that gives you time freedom and the autonomy you’ve been craving, you’re in the right place.

Ep 120: How to Book and Keep Therapy Clients, From Consult to First Session

You might notice the name of the podcast is different. But don’t worry, the heart of this show is the same. I’m still talking about what it takes to build a private practice that gives you more time, freedom, and flexibility, especially if you’re balancing it all as a mom, partner, clinician, or, frankly, a human who wants a life outside of work.


And today, we’re getting into one of the most common questions I hear: “How do you turn a consult call into a full, thriving caseload?”


In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what to do from first contact through that first session, including:


  • The subtle mindset shifts that make consult calls feel less like interviews and more like real conversations (00:02:35)

  • How to structure a call that builds connection without overexplaining or overselling (00:08:52)

  • Tips for designing a smooth, client-friendly onboarding experience (00:04:15)

  • How to naturally move from the first session to an ongoing relationship (00:12:04)

  • And what to remind yourself when imposter syndrome starts whispering that you’re not “ready”


If you’ve ever finished a consult thinking, “That went great… so why didn’t they book?”, this episode will give you the tools and language to change that.

Ep 117: Additional Income Streams for Therapist Moms

In this episode of Raised to Empower, we’re calling BS on the idea that adding extra income streams means burning yourself out. Especially for therapist moms managing chaotic schedules and emotional labor, diversifying your income isn’t just smart, it’s necessary.

I’ll share my own journey and break down beginner-friendly, totally doable ways to earn outside the therapy room. From affiliate marketing (without feeling sleazy), to teaching CEUs, to creating simple, sellable resources. 

You’ll walk away with practical ideas that honor your values and your time PLUS 3 beginner-friendly income streams that make sense for therapist moms:

  1. Affiliate marketing (done ethically, with products you actually believe in)
  2. Teaching CEUs (share what you know + get paid for it)
  3. Creating digital tools like templates or workbooks (yes, your brain is brilliant)


Tune in for a dose of permission, strategy, and encouragement. No hustle culture required.

Ep 116: 3 Simple Ways to Integrate Advocacy Into Your Private Practice

This week on Raised to Empower, we’re talking advocacy—what it looks like for therapist moms, why it’s an ethical part of our work, and how it can be meaningful without burning you out.

Feeling like advocacy is too big, too political, or just too much? This is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be. 

In this episode, I break down three simple ways therapists can make a real difference without adding stress to an already busy schedule:


  • Educate Clients on Rights & Resources. Empower clients with knowledge about their options, support groups, or services. Even small info-sharing can shift them from powerlessness to agency.
  • Take Quick Bite-sized Actions. Tools like the Five Calls app make advocacy accessible. A few minutes calling a representative or using a script creates ripple effects.
  • Amplify Others’ Advocacy on Social Media. Share posts, comment, or acknowledge others’ work. Visibility matters; lifting voices online models courage for clients, communities, and children.


Meaningful change can happen for your clients and your community thanks to these small, practical steps. Listen in, and let’s start making a difference today.

Ep 115: 4 Private Practice Rules You Need to Break

Private practice comes with a lot of “rules” we’re told to follow. Most of them are unspoken, but deeply ingrained. Work evenings and weekends because that’s when clients are free. A “real” therapist sees people in person. High fees are unethical. And of course, you should never say no to a referral. 

The problem is that when we follow these without question, we are left feeling burned out, resentful, and stuck in businesses that don’t fit our lives. 

In this episode, I’m naming and unpacking the four biggest myths that keep therapists, especially women and moms, playing small in private practice. We’ll talk about where these beliefs come from, how they show up in your day-to-day, and what it looks like to finally break free from them. 

If you’re feeling the pull to make some shifts in your business, consider this your nudge to take that step. Book a Clarity & Strategy Coaching Session and let’s figure it out together.
