Why Rachel Started Her Own Private Practice:
I knew it was time to take the next step in my career—I was ready to run my own practice. I wanted to make more money, have control over my schedule, and, let’s be honest, stop funneling my hard-earned income into someone else’s pockets. Now, I get to do exactly that. Owning my own practice means I decide when I work, how I work, and who I work with. I can take a lunch break without asking for permission (wild, I know), wear cozy socks all day if I want, and create a space that feels authentic to me. But beyond the quirky perks, it’s the freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment that I love most—plus the satisfaction of knowing I built something that’s truly mine.
Why Adrienne Loves Owning Her Own Practice:
I absolutely make more money in private practice. The first year I was in private practice I made 10k more than I did working full time. Before going into business for myself, I was working 3 12-hr shifts at a hospital. We got 1-3% increases each year based on what the company wanted to give. My PTO got used for everything EXCEPT vacation and I had to ask to attend events for my kids at school- it wasn't always approved. I never have to submit a PTO request 3 months in advance again. I can adjust my schedule as needed. So, not only am I making more money, I have my AUTONOMY back. I get to prioritize my life. I even take a dance class during the day!

Referrals and Marketing? Easily the scariest part of starting your own practice!
It’s not just about waiting for clients to find you—it’s about knowing where to show up and how to connect.
(And yes, we’ll show you exactly how!)
And here’s the best part—therapy will always be in demand, which makes this a pretty safe business venture. There are a lot of streamlined resources and processes making this part easier than you think!
Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? the freedom and flexibility you gain from running your own practice are totally worth it. Imagine this: setting your own hours, choosing your clients, and having total control over your work-life balance (say goodbye to burnout!).
Yes, it takes effort, but don’t let that scare you off. It’s kind of like learning to ride a bike. Wobbly at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’re cruising with the wind in your hair. And guess what? You don’t have to figure it all out alone—we’re here to help you every step of the way. So, yes, it’s really better in private practice. Now, let’s go build that dream job!
Spoiler alert: You don’t have to do it all alone!
We’ve got checklists, templates, and time-saving tools that make running your practice feel manageable—dare we say, even enjoyable! We challenge you to give yourself a learning curve, it can be a lot! But we have taken everything that was hard for us and made an easy to follow path for you.
And, one of our favorite parts of private practice is ditching the “9-5 always productive corporate grind,” and giving yourself permission to learn how you work best. Are you a morning person who loves to dive into admin work before your first client? Perfect. Maybe you’re a night owl who thrives on evening client sessions and gets all your marketing done after the sun goes down. That’s great, too!
Private practice allows you to design your schedule around your energy levels, not a company’s bottom line. Giving yourself permission to learn how you work best means you can run your practice on your terms—and that’s where the magic happens.
We think you will!
Not because it’s perfect, but because it gave us freedom—freedom to choose our schedules, set our rates, and build a life we love. We have less burnout and more time for family, friends, and hobbies, and we think you can have that too!
And as therapists, we get that mindset plays a big part in happiness. Changing all the circumstances doesn’t instantly make you happy forever. But in private practice, you can control how you approach challenges, setbacks, and even your own expectations. Yes, it’s a learning curve, and yes, it requires some serious mental flexibility. But the best part? You’re the one steering the ship. So, when things get tough (because they will), remember: the freedom you’re seeking isn’t just in the business—it’s in how you choose to respond to it. And we’re here to help you stay focused, positive, and ready to thrive.
Yes—and you get to decide how much!
There’s no salary cap when you’re your own boss. The sky is the limit to your capabilities in private practice!
But we believe it’s not just about income. It’s about impact, balance, and sustainability. It’s about making the money you want AND having a work life balance.
Here’s the thing: if you can manage complex client cases, navigate ethical dilemmas, and survive grad school without completely losing your mind, you’re already more prepared than you think. The business side isn’t some mystical realm reserved for people with MBAs and color-coded spreadsheets (though, no judgment if that’s your vibe). It’s about learning systems, setting boundaries (which, hello, you’re already a pro at), and figuring out fun adult things like taxes and marketing—without crying… too much.
You’ve got the skills. You just need a roadmap—and maybe a checklist or five. We’ve got you!
Oh, hello there, Imposter Syndrome—we’ve been expecting you! If you’re asking this question, congrats! You’re officially part of the “I Care Deeply About Doing a Good Job” club. The truth is, most therapists (yes, even the ones who seem like they’ve got it all figured out) have felt this way at some point. Starting a private practice can make those feelings louder because suddenly, you’re not just the therapist—you’re the business owner, marketer, accountant, and occasional tech support. No pressure, right?
But here’s the thing: feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you are one. It just means you’re stepping out of your comfort zone—and that’s where growth happens. You’re capable because you’ve already done hard things. You’ve navigated tough client sessions, mastered complicated theories, and probably written more case notes than you ever thought humanly possible. Running a practice is just the next challenge—and the good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to guide you, support you, and remind you that you’ve got this (even when your brain says otherwise).
First off, congratulations—you’re officially a human being! Seriously, though, mistakes are part of the process. AND you will probably make a few—whether it’s the wrong email template, a scheduling snafu, or the moment you realize you’ve been calling your business “Therapy Unlimited” when it’s actually “Unlimited Therapy” (it happens).
But here’s the good news: being "wrong" isn’t the end of the world. It’s just a fancy way of saying, “I’m learning.” And guess what? Even the most successful private practice owners have messed up at some point—they just didn’t let it stop them. The best thing you can do is take action, learn from what didn’t work, tweak it, and keep going. You won’t be perfect, but you’ll be progressing, and that’s what matters. Plus, when in doubt, ask for help. That’s what we’re here for: to help you avoid the big, expensive mistakes and laugh through the little ones. So, go ahead, take that first step—because perfection is overrated anyway.
We give you the basics of everything you need to do to stay out of trouble with HIPAA, insurance, and other legal scary things.
“Practice Pursuit for Therapists was my biggest cheerleader for making the leap to private practice. The individualized and comprehensive guidance effectively demystified and simplified the process. “
