Financial anxiety is showing up in therapy rooms more than ever before.

Clients are losing sleep over debt. Avoiding bank accounts. Fighting with partners about spending. Feeling ashamed of financial mistakes. Overworking to feel safe. Under-earning because of fear, self-doubt, or burnout. Spiraling over uncertainty, inflation, job instability, or survival concerns.

And many therapists feel underprepared to treat it.

This training is designed to give clinicians a clear, evidence-informed framework for understanding and treating financial anxiety through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lens—while honoring the emotional, relational, cultural, and systemic realities that shape clients’ experiences with money.
