Do you dream of opening your own private practice but have no idea where to start?

You went to school to be a counselor — not a business owner.

No one really teaches you how to start a practice. Things like choosing a niche, figuring out branding, setting up your office, or marketing yourself to attract the right clients can feel overwhelming when you’re doing it alone.

That’s exactly why I created Private Practice 101.

Instead of hosting a full seminar, I took everything I normally teach in that training and turned it into a workbook you can go through at your own pace.

Private Practice 101 walks therapists step-by-step through the process of starting and growing a practice — from clarifying your “why” and identifying your ideal client, to navigating business logistics, branding, and marketing.

Inside you’ll find:
• Guided exercises to clarify your goals and values
• Worksheets to help you define your niche and ideal client
• Practical guidance on finances, office setup, and business basics
• Tips for building a brand and online presence that attracts clients

If starting a private practice has felt overwhelming, my goal was to make the process clear, organized, and doable.

Happy Time Change Monday! ☀️

As much as I look forward to springing forward, it always throws me off for a few days. If you can relate, this is your reminder to be gentle with yourself today.

A slow start to the week is still a start 🫶
