“But WHY should I start an EMDR private practice?” They ask us.

BECAUSE…you can do whatever you want! The fun side of the business certainly is appealing. What drove me to be an entrepreneur and open my own practice was because I was tired being told what to do by people I didn’t look up to. I wanted to have my own hours, be creative, decorate my own office, create branding and logos, and come up with fun new ideas.

But the shiny objects soon vanished, as tax season started and clients started cancelling sessions.

I found myself:

🌀 Lost in a sea of other therapists on directory sites
🌀 Exhausted from handling the heaviest cases
🌀 Struggling to pay rent and buy groceries (have we talked about gas prices?!)
🌀 Loving the clinical breakthroughs, but dreading ‘the business’ side of being a therapist
🌀 Stuck thinking I had to stay in group practice

So I realized that if I didn’t master the business side, I wouldn’t be able to sustain the clinical side. I spent years figuring out how to market, set boundaries, and own my worth without losing myself in the process.

➡️ That’s why I created OverFlow. So you don’t have to struggle like I did.

I’m hosting my 3rd virtual workshop for EMDR Therapists on April 6. It’s a space to;

➡️ Refine your business visibility
➡️ Own (and get paid) your worth as a trauma specialist
➡️ Build confidence and clarity with your messaging

It’s #9 for me…

A little-known fact about me… I used to be a raging people-pleaser and didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD until I was 28 (waaaay too late!)

I know when you start following someone, it’s easy to think they have always had it figured all out or been at that stage of life.

But the reality is, most of us hop into this book midway and miss a lot of chapters! It’s great to throw it back to Chapter 1 once in a while to see how far we’ve come.

EMDR Therapist? I’d love to chat! Comment or DM me ‘OPT IN’ and I’ll add you to my free newsletter where you’ll get monthly business tips and tricks to scale your EMDR practice!

Hi, I’m Lilly- and over the last 8 years I’ve built an EMDR private cash-pay practice, charged what I’m worth and gone on a waitlist. Now I’m here to teach EMDR therapists what I’ve learned. And I know what self-doubt sounds like, because I was there once.  
When I hear EMDR therapists undersell and second guess themselves think, I know it’s a normal and HUMAN thing to do- but too much of your inner critic taking the reigns will lead to staying stuck and underpaid.

(We’re EMDR therapists, we know what happens when our inner critic is in the driver’s seat, right?) 
The good news?  OverFlow has been built SPECIFICALLY to help EMDR therapists learn the business of EMDR.

In OverFlow, you’ll learn to:

➡️ Shift your narrative about a therapists’s worth and identity
➡️ Reframe the beliefs that keep trauma therapists playing small
➡️ Attract the clients who actually need your skills
➡️ Change your messaging to reflect your specialization and niche
➡️ Own your expertise and make it easier to talk about your work and set fees that reflect the depth of trauma therapy
