WHO THIS IS FOR 

 

This course is for therapists who are: 

 

  • Thinking about starting a private practice 
  • In the early stages and feeling overwhelmed  
  • Unsure about insurance vs private pay 
  • Confused about paperwork, systems, or next steps 
  • Wanting clarity without pressure, hype, or burnout 

 

You do not need to have everything figured out to take this course.

  • Stop spiraling and over-researching 
  • Make clear, reasonable decisions about how to practice
  • Understand what you actually need to set up — and what can wait 
  • Reduce fear around paperwork, systems, and income 
  •  
  • Move forward without burning yourself out 
 
This is a calm, practical starting point — not a full business build.

  • Decide between private pay, insurance, or contracting based on your capacity 
  • Understand why sustainable rates (often $150+) are necessary for long-term viability 
  • Set up minimum viable paperwork without panic 
  • Choose simple systems that don’t create tech overwhelm
