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.
