Business Consultation
As much as our training prepared us to be therapists, it did not teach us how to be business owners or marketing strategists! We’ve learned through our own experience that building a thriving private practice is SO much more than clinical work and consultation. It’s marketing, social media management, website pages, building networks, branding, fee setting, getting clients, managing expenses, and more. It’s thinking creatively and strategically and clarifying your own values and goals.
Why do more work researching and comparing the best options to support your practice growth and development when we’ve already done a lot of that work for you? We’ve learned a ton through the process of building and growing our values-aligned practice (and making mistakes!), and we want to share our knowledge and resources with you.
Our consultation services are designed to help you master the business of therapy. We want you to have more work/life balance, see more clients that excite you, and connect with more joy in your life while worrying less about referrals, SEO, and bottom lines.
We’re also feminist therapists, and believe strongly in making all aspects of therapy more inclusive and social-justice informed—even the business side. Whether it’s updating old intake forms, deciding to be paneled with insurance, developing a fair and sustainable pay scale for your team members, or thinking through how to make your services more equitable and accessible, we’re here to help you lean into more radical and inventive business structures.
We have consultation offerings to support owners of both individual (solo) and group practices.
“business consulting has been deeply relieving for me. grad school, training sites, and the overall field of mental health & wellness do not set you up for financial security or success. kaitlin is helping me to be creative and enterprising about my passions, and offering guidance I would otherwise never receive”

If there’s something that’s been holding you back from growth, we can support you in boldly and confidently pursuing that next step.
