Private Practice Coaching & Mentoring for Therapists
Starting a private therapy practice can feel daunting and overwhelming. You may feel confident in your therapeutic skills, but the idea of running a business might bring up fear, uncertainty, or self-doubt. You may wonder where to begin, how to find clients, or if you’re really cut out for the entrepreneurial side of therapy. That’s where coaching comes in!
I understand the emotional and practical challenges therapists face when making the leap to private practice – because I’ve been there. Much earlier in my career, I worked for a large hospital-based mental health clinic where the dollar-driven bureaucracy, high productivity quotas and unhealthy work culture eventually burned me out. In 2008, I left to start my own therapy practice. I had a laser-focused goal of creating a wholesome work environment for myself that would allow me to fully focus on client care. Since then, I’ve built and maintained a successful, sustainable full-time practice that is truly client-focused and aligns with my core values of respect, safety, healing, and growth.
If you crave freedom over your therapeutic work and control over your schedule, I’m very happy to help you achieve your dream. With empathetic, tailored guidance, I can help you navigate the unknowns, build confidence in yourself and your abilities, and create a thriving private practice that reflects your values and supports your life, including:
- Clarifying your vision
- Aligning your practice with personal and professional goals
- Building the foundations of your business
- Joining insurance panels, if you choose
- Navigating legal and ethical considerations for private practice
- Marketing, networking and referral-building strategies
- Creating efficient systems for scheduling, documentation, and billing
- Tracking income and expenses
- Planning for taxes and retirement
- Overcoming imposter syndrome
- Navigating fear of failure or success
- Cultivating resilience and a growth mindset
- Setting boundaries and avoiding burnout
The personalized coaching and mentoring that I provide offers a deeply supportive and strategic foundation for starting your own practice. Rather than navigating the overwhelming sea of information and uncertainty alone, you get custom-designed guidance that meets you exactly where you are, ensuring that your unique challenges and goals are at the center of our work together. I can help you choose your authentic path, make confident decisions, and avoid common pitfalls by offering real-world insights based on experience.
Maybe you’ve already launched your private practice, but you’re struggling with the business side of your work in some way. If this is you, I’m available to help with targeted support for navigating your specific challenges. Whether you’re facing burnout, struggling with your work systems, seeking to refine your business model, or striving to align your practice with your values, I offer practical support plus a safe, empathetic space to help you reflect, plan, adjust, grow and thrive.
