Business Coaching

One-on-One Support to Help Your Therapy Practice Thrive

business coaching

I have founded two therapy practices and made them flourish!  When I lived in Boston, I had a thriving part-time practice that supplemented an agency job, and when I relocated home to Los Angeles, I took the plunge and dove in full-time.  I grew my Los Angeles practice into a thriving and profitable group practice, employing up to 7 other people at a given time, and recently scaled it back to a solo practice in pursuit of better work/life balance.  Calling on these experiences, I am passionate about sharing the things I have learned about successful therapy business ownership.

I have developed a training program called Planting Seeds, which is designed to meet the needs of therapists who are brand new to being their own boss, and is designed to help you get your head in the game, manage your business in a way that lets you be your most therapeutic self, tackle barriers, and overcome limiting beliefs.  However, if you’re farther along in your private practice journey, individual coaching might be a better fit for you.

I have helped over 100 therapists to launch and grow the practice of their dreams, and would love to support you too.

What can I get out of business coaching?

Here are some of the therapy business concerns I can help you with:

  • Effective and authentic marketing strategies
  • Developing a strategy for turning callers into clients
  • Feeling more in control of your numbers
  • Challenging limiting beliefs, and learning to trust that you are enough
  • Reconciling your desire to help with your need to support yourself
  • Revisiting your fee, taking insurance, and offering sliding scales, so that you feel confident about the money piece
  • Overcoming anxieties associated with the financial rollercoaster of business ownership
  • Feeling stuck and uninspired in your work
  • Evaluating risks and challenging yourself
  • Deciding whether to hire other clinicians, or leverage your time in other ways
  • Taking steps towards hiring your first clinician
  • Improving your hiring strategies in order to level up your group practice

What is the cost, and how long will it take?

I charge $175 for 30 minutes of business coaching by telephone.  It’s important to me that you feel you are getting good value out of your business coaching time, so I offer the following guarantee: If you feel dissatisfied within the first 5 minutes of your first coaching session, you may end the call at no cost to you. How much business coaching you need will depend on the complexity of what you are seeking help with.  If you have one fairly straightforward question, such as whether your fees are appropriate given your practice model and lifestyle, it can probably be answered in one session.  If you’re trying to untangle a web of questions about whether you are enough and whether your services are worthy of full-fee clients, or if you’re trying to expand your solo practice into a group, it’s likely to take several meetings.  You purchase one session at a time, and there is no ongoing commitment.
