Build Your Private Practice Without the Stress and Burnout

You either are dreaming of leaving or already left community mental health with a dream...the dream of working for yourself, seeing less clients and FINALLY having the life-family balance you crave.
That decision can be terrifying. Leaving many therapist unsure of where to even start. Or many have taken the leap and find themself questioning everything as they are seeing 25+ clients just to pay the bills, plus hours marketing, managing the business, and trying to figure out why they left in the first place and where that life- family balance is.

I GET IT! I have been there! When I first opened my private I realized I was working and seeing clients as if I was still in community mental health, but now I am the one doing ALL the jobs and in less than a year I was getting burned out. 

That is when I realized something had to change! I looked at my finances and realized I need to change my fee structure, set boundaries with my schedule and no show policies, I need a system for finances sand taxes, I needed a routine around paperwork and I needed marketing that not only worked, but did not take hours and hours.
That is what I did! Let me tell you, I have never been happier. 
Today, I see about 10-12 ideal, private pay clients a week, I have a simple process for paying myself and managing my expenses and taxes, my paperwork is systemized and my marketing is streamlined to the point that I only spend about an hour a week on it (and no I do not pay for ads). 
This is what I want for YOU!
