Professional consultation (Online)
(Available across all locations for business consultation purposes only.)
I offer professional consultation for therapists seeking support for starting and building their private practice.
As someone who started without a business background, I understand firsthand how overwhelming this process can feel and be. When I consulted with therapists who had previous careers in corporate, accounting, law, or marketing, I initially felt behind and intimidated. I had created a narrative that without any prior formal training in these areas, creating a successful private practice was not realistic for me
Here’s the truth: there is a lot of learning to do, I won’t sugarcoat that. But often, it is our own mindset and assumptions that holds us back more than the learning curve itself
This consultation is for you if you’re:
Facing analysis paralysis about where to start
You might be familiar with the general steps through your own research so far — choosing a business entity, obtaining an EIN, selecting an EHR, setting up payments, etc.—but feel overwhelmed on what order to pursue each step. I draw from my personal experience to help you identify an approach that aligns with you.
Solid in your decision but feel overwhelmed by the long game
Deep down, you know that being an employee for the rest of your life or staying with a big tech platform are unsustainable. Yet, a part of you wants to retreat and hide at the thought of going for your solo practice. Maybe you’re having thoughts like “This is way too much” and “it’s easier just to have someone else to handle the admin stuff for me.” Trust me, I was there too. Let’s talk about what it can look like to break out of that loop.
Feeling stuck about the current state of your practice
Maybe you’ve finished the concrete steps of opening your business but would like additional feedback in terms of marketing, your website structure, attracting the population you want to serve, and new strategies to test out.
Depending on your needs, our work may involve:
Despite your outward success and accomplishments, you may internally be dealing with:
- Clarifying your niche so you can stand out in a meaningful way
- Exploring and challenging your myths about starting a private practice and consider action steps you can take to move forward
- Outlining potential orders of operations that take your personal and financial circumstances into consideration
- Identifying what’s not working in your marketing and explore where to pivot next
Consultation is offered at the same rate as individual therapy. $300/50 minutes.
By scheduling a consultation, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the Consultation Terms listed below, including the nature and limitations of this service.
