Episode 31
I’ve been a working therapist for a over decade, and in that time I’ve worked in schools, private practice, group practice, therapy tech (at my company Social Note), and as a clinical supervisor.
Across those positions, I’ve learned a lot about building a therapy business that supports you and your clients. So in today’s episode I’m sharing what I’d do differently if I was getting started right now — including one of my biggest business regrets from my early years.
Tune in to learn from my successes and my mistakes. You’ll hear about:
- Why fall is my favorite season in private practice
- The power of retreats, workshops & support groups
- How to hit the ground running with relationship-building
- The importance of establishing (& sticking to) your niche
- The money shift that made a big impact for my business
