Built by a therapist who understands both clinical work and the business of private practice.
• The 12-step checklist to start a private practice
• How to begin insurance credentialing
• The fastest ways to get your first therapy clients
• The essential systems every practice needs

Starting a private therapy practice can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance clinical work with learning the business side of running a practice.
The first steps usually include choosing a business structure, setting up your practice legally, creating your intake paperwork, selecting an electronic health record system, and deciding whether you will accept insurance or operate as a private pay practice.
Many therapists also need guidance on building referral relationships, marketing their services, and filling their caseload without spending thousands of dollars on advertising.
Through consultation and coaching, therapists can learn the exact steps to launch a private practice with confidence, avoid common startup mistakes, and begin seeing clients sooner.

This consultation program is designed for therapists who want clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to building their own practice.
This is perfect for:
• Early-career therapists who want to start their first private practice
• Agency clinicians ready to transition into working for themselves
• Pre-licensed therapists preparing to build a practice after licensure
• Therapists overwhelmed by business setup who need step-by-step support
• Clinicians who want a full caseload but don’t know how to market themselves
Whether you plan to accept insurance, private pay, or a hybrid model, you will learn how to structure your practice for long-term success.

Many therapists want their own practice but feel overwhelmed by the business side.

Private Consultation
1-on-1 sessions available for therapists who want individualized support.
Private practice consulting provides therapists with a clear roadmap for building a sustainable and profitable therapy practice. Instead of spending months trying to figure out business systems alone, therapists receive structured guidance on:
• Choosing the right business setup
• Navigating insurance credentialing
• Setting up scheduling, billing, and documentation systems
• Developing a marketing plan
• Growing a consistent caseload
Consultation helps therapists move from confusion to clarity so they can focus on what they do best — helping clients.

One of the biggest concerns therapists have when starting a private practice is how to find their first clients.
Many clinicians assume they must rely only on insurance panels or expensive marketing. In reality, there are several effective ways therapists can start filling their caseload quickly.
Some of the most effective strategies include:
• Creating a professional therapy profile online
• Building referral relationships with other therapists and physicians
• Listing services in therapist directories
• Developing a clear specialty or niche
• Using simple local marketing strategies
When therapists understand how to position their services and build referral networks, they can often start receiving inquiries within weeks.
