Resources for Private Practice Owners

Running a practice is hard enough. Don’t figure it out alone.

The empty Google Business Profile, the “am I even allowed to say that” moments — I’ve lived those too. This is the resource library I wish someone had handed me when I first started.

Built By a Practice Owner, For Practice Owners

What You’ll Find Here…

Practice Management Tools

EHR platforms, scheduling software, billing systems. I’ve tested most of them while running my own practice, and I share honest breakdowns of what holds up day-to-day.

Rooted in Real Experience:
My recommendations come from tools I’ve used, been recommended, or mistakes I’ve already made, so you don’t have to make them.

Business Foundations

Contracts, insurance panels, documentation compliance, and more. The unglamorous groundwork nobody covers in grad school, laid out in plain language with the caveats that matter for your state.

Getting It Right the First Time:
These are the tools and processes I relied on daily in my own practice. I’m sharing them to save you the time it took me to find them, not offering legal advice.

Directories & Getting Found

Psychology Today, Google Business Profile, niche directories. I break down which listings are worth your time, how to set them up correctly the first time, and what actually moves the needle on getting found.

What Worked for Me:
I built my own visibility from zero, and these are the steps I’d take again if I were starting from scratch today.

MEET THE PRACTICE OWNER BEHIND THIS SITE

I’m Alex Theordor, Private Practice Owner and Copywriter

Before I ever wrote a line of website copy, I was building a private practice of my own. I know the feeling of staring at a blank website, wondering if I was even allowed to call myself a specialist. My copywriting agency grew out of that experience, and it’s why this site exists: to give other practice owners the resources I had to find the hard way.

This site is a free resource library, built practice owner to practice owner. If you’d rather hand off your marketing to someone who nerds out over this stuff, that’s what my copywriting agency is for, and you’re welcome to look into it too.

“The blog post templates are sooooo helpful! I’ve been trying to blog for a while now but struggled with topic ideas and not being sure how to structure them. The templates made it so easy for me to get started. I started on 1 a couple of days ago, and it’s almost completed. Just need to clean it up a bit and post it. Again, thank you so much for this resource!”
Melissa

“I had the pleasure of working with Alexandria on a website audit, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, yet remains down-to-earth and approachable. She doesn’t put herself on a pedestal; instead, she works as your equal, understanding the balance of work and home life as a fellow mom. Her advice was clear and actionable, breaking down tasks into manageable short-term and long-term goals. As a visual learner, I especially appreciated the visual feedback she provided, which made the process much easier to grasp. Most importantly, Alexandria didn’t try to upsell me on additional services—she truly understands the importance of marketing within a budget when you’re just starting out. I highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
