Is getting your mental health license in the US actually harder than immigrating here? For me, the answer was yes.

In this episode of the Heart and Profit Podcast, I share my raw, unfiltered origin story—from working as a Clinical Psychologist in Russia to navigating the bureaucratic nightmare of the US licensing system. I reveal why I walked away from the traditional "private practice" path, pivoted into Software Engineering, and eventually built a mentorship business that allows me to help more people without the red tape.

If you are an established therapist or coach feeling trapped by the "time-for-money" model, this video explains exactly how to realign your identity and build a business that serves YOU.
