What Is a Financial Therapist?

Whether you are living paycheck to paycheck despite holding a stable job for over a decade, or you have accumulated a significant amount of debt that continues to increase at an accelerated pace, turning to a certified financial therapist for advice can undoubtedly change your life.

Contrary to popular opinion, financial advisors and financial therapists are not the same.

Financial advisors are experienced professionals committed to helping their clients manage their personal finances by learning about their specific situations and financial habits. Their work is not limited to drafting financial plans, as these financial professionals also assist in investment and wealth management, brokering investments in the stock market, creating tax plans, paying off credit cards, and other types of money management.

On the other hand, financial therapists are certified individuals who provide their clients with the emotional support they may require to make better financial decisions and decrease their financial anxiety. These professional counselors are not social workers, but they are mental health professionals that can provide you with all the tools and resources you need to learn about your current relationship with money and explore the emotional and psychological factors, and maybe even financial trauma, that led to your present circumstances. They also use clinically proven methods to develop a personalized process to reshape your subconscious assumptions and encourage you to move toward financial security and prosperity.
