In today’s episode, I speak with Amanda Koplin, founder of Koplin Consulting about the awkward conversations around paying for mental health services. We discuss the stigma around mental health, the high cost of treatment, and the reluctance of some individuals and families to pay for treatment. 

Amanda Koplin, LPC, is a mental health entrepreneur and thought leader who creates innovative solutions to fill gaps in the mental healthcare system. In 2014, she created and developed an idea for a mental health urgent care clinic and sold it in 2016 to create Koplin Consulting, a nationwide concierge mental health treatment team service. Amanda is passionate about helping people achieve mental wellness and creating sustainable support systems and solutions which integrate seamlessly into real life.
