Consulting services are directed to clinicians who are planning to open their own private practice, have recently opened one, or are looking for guidance in their current practice.
It's no secret that opening your own private practice can be an intimidating step for many therapists. As someone who opened their own private practice at 26 years old, I am definitely familar with that experience. I mean not only is it a big thing to do, but it's something that requires many steps -- steps where you may get different answers from different people, may not know what's best for you, or may not get answers at all, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. One-on-one consultation gives you a space to ask the questions you want to ask, get the answers you need, and move forward in your career with more clarity, confidence, and direction.
