I hear all the time, I want to open a private practice, but I am afraid...
-
Afraid I will miss a step
-
afraid I will fail
-
afraid I wont find clients
-
afraid I wont be able to replace my agency income
And so many other fears...these fears have therapists frozen. I hear all to often I haven't sent in the LLC paperwork yet...I'm just waiting...and its been months. Or I am stuck on the name, spending weeks deciding on the perfect...meanwhile you could building the practice of your dreams with ideal clients.
​
When I work with clients that are further along on their journey, I hear things like I have spent hours on my website, google business profile and psychology, but no one is reaching out. Or I spent $100's (sometimes more) on a beautiful website that is suppose to have great SEO, but no one is calling. I'm not sure I can do this, I might need to return to working for an agency...THIS is exactly where I was, I was seeing 20-25 clients a week, being paid less than ideal, spending evenings and weekends working on my website and directories...I left agency work to open my own practice so I could be more present with my kids and instead I was exhausted, working all the time and not even seeing any progress.
What I have learned is that it is often a visibility program not a content issue...marketing can be SOOO simple, systems can save hours in your admin and it is possible to have a business of your dreams that compliments motherhood.
What if I could help you get from your stuck point to a thriving, sustainable practice that gives you back your time? I offer workshops that ensure you are have step by step guidance on forming your practice, are able to audit your marketing and spend your time where it counts and can create systems that save you hundreds of hours and headaches on long the way.
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!
