Reimbursement rates for mental health care keep shrinking. Many mental health professionals in private practice are stuck deciding whether to push for better rates, leave insurance altogether, or wait for someone else to fix the system. Meanwhile, taking every client who walks in the door and keeping fees low is a fast path to burnout.
In this episode of Between Sessions with Berries, Kym sits down with Brian J. Dixon, MD, a psychiatrist and author. He founded Mindful, a private practice; Simply Psych, a practice management company; and FeelGuide, a referral network for mental health professionals. Dr. Dixon grew up on food stamps before becoming a physician, and he speaks plainly about healthcare finance. That includes the costly lesson he learned from scaling a company too fast and what it took to pull it back.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why talk-based care is reimbursed less than procedures, and where that gap began.
- What Dr. Dixon recommends for clinicians credentialed through group aggregators.
- The two lessons he took from growing his practice management company too quickly.
- How FeelGuide lets clinicians quietly signal which referrals drain them.
- Why he doesn't believe in offering his services for free.
- How to settle on a fee that supports your practice without underselling your work.
- Where AI fits into the future of mental health care, even if tech isn't your strength.
