Private practice consultation
Our grad programs don't fully prepare us to start a private practice. And that's okay, but having someone in your corner to help get things off the ground can be really helpful.
Starting my own private practice was a slog. I was overwhelmed by the many steps, not to mention the need to do things in a specific yet confusing order. (Wait, so I need like eight things before I can set up my bank account???) Then there's all the tech stuff, like what EHR to use, managing finances; on and on...And those are just the logistical pieces.
Even more challenging was figuring out what I wanted my practice to look like, how to talk about what I planned to offer my clients, and how to build my business to manage burnout. Fortunately, I was able to pull from my skills managing campaigns and budgets, to create some helpful tools, particularly around budgeting.
​
Bringing the same realness and compassion that I bring to my practice—along with some handy budgeting spreadsheets I created for myself—I'm able to help new therapists design a practice that feels intentional, professional, authentic and sustainable (both financially and emotionally).
