About · Media & Speaking

Put a therapist who talks about money in front of your audience.

I’m Maren Londahl-Smidt, LCSW — a practicing therapist, a Profit for Keeps® certified coach, and a private practice owner who built a money system that finally stuck. I talk about the part of private practice nobody covered in grad school.

Available for podcasts, retreats, conferences, and live trainings — including guest masterclasses and CE workshops for professional communities.

I don’t do the “charge your worth” speech. I talk about what a practice actually needs to generate, why more clients is usually the wrong answer, and how to build a money routine that works with the way you actually work.

Topics

What I’m good at talking about.

What your practice needs to pay you

The Right Revenue Number: how to calculate what a practice actually needs to generate and why so few practice owners have done the math.

Money and the ADHD brain

Why standard money advice fails neurodivergent practice owners, and the systems that support the way their brains work — body doubling, rest weeks, and fewer accounts.

Fewer clients, more life

Caseload reduction, self-pay, real time off, and building a business alongside the practice — without burning down the income.
