🎓 Save the Date! 2025 Financial Therapy Externship 🎓
For therapists ready to go deeper — and bring money into the healing process.

You already see it in your sessions:
💭 Clients fighting about spending, avoiding their finances, feeling shame they can’t name.
💭 Money shows up in trauma, identity, power, safety, and relationships.
💭 And yet... most therapists were never trained to address it.

That changes here.

The Financial Therapy Clinical Institute Externship is a two-day immersive training for licensed mental health professionals who want to confidently integrate financial therapy into their clinical work — with depth, nuance, and clarity.

Whether you're supporting individuals, couples, or families, this training equips you to work skillfully with:
💡 Financial trauma and shame
💡 Money conflicts and avoidant patterns
💡 Values-based money work in therapy
💡 The deeper emotional and relational dynamics underneath every dollar

🗓️ Dates: October 16–17, 2025
💻 Format: 100% online (so you can join from anywhere)
✅ Next Step: Fill out a short interest form — we’ll follow up with a quick 10-minute call to walk you through what to expect and help you decide if it’s a fit.

If you’ve ever thought:

“This is coming up in therapy... and I don’t feel equipped to hold it.”
This externship is your next move.

Let’s give you the tools to meet clients where it really matters — in the full emotional and relational reality of money.

✨ Make money human.
✨ Make your practice whole.

This year I gave myself the challenge of reading a book each month based on the houses of astrology. The book for this month, September, is centered on the 9th house themes, which include philosophy, big picture, the mind, and travel. The Sunny Nihilist: A Declaration of the Pleasure of Pointlessness by Wendy Syfret has been the perfect book for this! It has been on my tbr list for a while and it's been a really fascinating book to read.

What does philosophy have to do with money?? Well, how we relate to money has everything to do with how we view ourselves, our purpose, and our values -- which all stem from our philosophical worldview. What you believe about your purpose in life greatly affects how you receive, spend, and invest money (and other resources).

Have you read The Sunny Nihilist? What did you think?

One of the most vulnerable conversations I've had so far, and one of the richest!

I share about my own journey to reclaim myself and my agency in life and the unique lens that I bring to my work as a financial therapist.

This year I'm challenging myself to read a book each month based on the houses of astrology. For the month of August I'm focusing on the 8th house, whose themes include death, transformation, and shared resources. So, for this month I decided to (re)read the book When Time Is Short: Finding Our Way in the Anthropocene by Timothy Beal. I read this book last year and it was one of the most profound books I've read. I'm curious to see what stands out for me this time.

Also, I gave myself permission to take a break from this challenge during June and July. Just a reminder that if you need to grant yourself permission to take a break on a challenge, I want you to know that you are allowed to do that! Life is not linear, and you are allowed to reassess and take breaks if you need to.

Want to join me in reading this book? Get ready to dive into the big picture/macro-level ideas around life, death, money, and humanity and how we interact with it all.
