Apply for the Collective

Hey I’m Abigail, I built The Collective because it’s time therapists stop taking insurance.

I've never taken insurance. Not once, and likely never will. I hit six figures before I was even licensed. I grew that into a $300K, fully private pay practice.

Since then, I’ve been helping therapists, just like you, learn what it takes to get private pay clients.

Now I want to teach you.

Inside The Collective,

you'll get access to all the exclusive content I share in my Intensives:

  • Strategic networking that doesn't feel fake or forced

  • A website and online presence built to help you get found and quoted by AI (AEO & GEO) because hundreds of clients are now searching for therapists on AI (Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini)

  • Instagram content built for trust and visibility, not influencer status

  • Retention strategies specific to private pay clients, because the psychology of someone paying $200 or more out of pocket is completely different from someone using insurance, and almost no program teaches this part

  • Real financial literacy for private practice, including how to know, with actual numbers, when you can afford to offer a sliding scale

  • Money mindset work, because you cannot charge your full worth while feeling weird about it, your clients feel that hesitation before you ever say a word

  • Monthly community connection over Slack, so you're never troubleshooting alone in a field that can feel incredibly isolating

This is the luxury of building your business at your own pace, with clear strategy guiding every step, so you're never guessing and never white-knuckling your way through hustle culture to get there.

You’ll also receive access to my Slack Workspace where you can share wins and ask questions along the way. As this community builds, expect to see live Webinars and Q&A’s added too.

All for $6.56 a day, less than a latte, and one new private pay client covers it for months.

And here's the part that matters most:

You don't need a fully booked caseload to feel the shift. Just 2 or 3 private pay clients can replace 8 to 10 insurance clients at a fraction of the sessions, which means fewer hours on your calendar, not more.

This isn't about working harder to earn more. It's about finally getting paid what you're worth so you can work less and still thrive.

One new private pay client covers the entire cost of The Collective for months, and every client after that is more time back in your life.

I've led hundreds of therapists through this exact transformation. Now you can go through it too, at your own pace, and at a fraction of the cost.

Why Would I Offer This?

My Intensives run $5K plus and are worth every penny. At some point, receiving individual support is what will be required to grow your business to six figures.

So why on earth would I offer this lower-tier solution?

Because every therapist who gets off insurance and stays off puts a little more power back where it belongs, in the healer's hands. It puts privacy back in your clients' hands, instead of a claims adjuster deciding what care looks like. It puts culturally responsive, individualized care back in your clients' hands, rather than whatever modality was cheapest to approve.

And this is my mission. Little by little, to instigate a collective shift, one therapist at a time. I know for some therapists this is where to start. At your own pace, at a lower investment.

Join and let’s put the power back in therapists hands.

  • That's honest, and it happens, though with everything inside The Collective, it's rare. There's enough content and range covered that most therapists find something that meets them exactly where they are, whether that's the website training, the money mindset work, retention strategy, or the community itself. It's built to hold you at multiple stages, not just one. However, if after the minimum 3-month commitment it’s not a fit, just email win@abigailkira.com to cancel.

  • The Collective starts with a 3 month commitment, then shifts to month-to-month after that. It genuinely takes at least 3 months to build real traction, and this structure helps keep you accountable through the part where results aren't visible yet, instead of quitting right before things start working.

  • The Collective's content and self-paced structure make it a great fit for therapists who want a sustainable transition off insurance, without feeling rushed to get there. If you're ready now and want dedicated support to transition off insurance within the next 6 months, the Intensive is where you'll get that.

  • The Collective is self-paced by design. There's no cohort schedule to keep up with, no countdown timer. You move through it on your own timeline, whether that's a few hours a week or a few hours a month.

  • Most programs teach one channel, like SEO or visibility, or hand you a done-for-you system with no education behind it. This teaches the underlying strategy that makes any channel actually convert, plus the financial and money mindset work almost nobody else covers.

    It's also priced differently. Most comparable programs start in the thousands. That can be a genuinely good investment, but those higher tier programs aren't accessible for everyone right now, and that's okay. The Collective is the middle ground, real guidance from someone who's already done this, so you're not wasting time guessing or piecing things together alone, but with the flexibility to implement slowly, at your own pace, without investing beyond what's financially comfortable for you right now. It gets you out of the all-or-nothing trap, hustle hard right now or don't move at all.

  • No. Your niche only needs to be half-baked to start. Clarity comes from experience, and part of what we work on inside The Collective is refining it as you go.

  • That's actually one of the best places to start. Most of what you'll learn is about repositioning who you're already attracting, not starting from zero.

  • I want The Collective to be a community built on real support, not just another feed to scroll. I've seen too many therapist spaces online turn toxic, shaming colleagues for charging more than $100 a session, shaming success instead of celebrating it. The application isn't a barrier, it's a filter, a way to make sure everyone inside is here to build each other up, not tear each other down. None of that toxicity is welcome here.
