Let’s get real for a moment…
The truth is, being a therapist often doesn’t pay what it’s worth.
Yes, it’s a rewarding career, but let’s not ignore the harsh realities: it’s filled with expenses and burdens that come with the territory.
Vicarious trauma due to being exposed to significant emotional stress and trauma
Burnout due to high levels of empathy and emotional labor
High acuity clients and being on call for crisis management
Significant and constant investment in education and training
Long work hours typically requiring some tyle of work on evenings or weekends to accommodate clients’ schedules.
Isolation as a byproduct of maintain HIPAA compliance
Unpaid work for administrative task such as note taking and billing
In social work particularly, it’s disheartening to see professionals with advanced degrees earning just marginally more than those with basic qualifications.
But what if it didn’t have to be this way?
What if therapists could prioritize their own well-being while still building successful practices?
I’m here to tell you—it’s possible.
Many therapist are prioritizing their mental health and physical wellness by diversifying their income as a way to reduce their 1:1 time in the office and build a better work/life balance.
Products and services such as digital products, courses, DIY and DFY services, and templates can serve as an entryway to freedom, allowing you the opportunity to develop a profitable side hustle that fits your schedule and lifestyle.
How do I know?
Because I have done it myself, and continue to do it to this day.
I’m Alexandria, a psychotherapist, private practice owner, and online business coach. I’ve walked the walk, transforming my own career and continuing to thrive today.

My mission is simple: to help therapists like you identify opportunities for passive income and make them a reality.
As a clinician myself, I understand the importance of protecting your license and ensuring compliance with state regulations. That’s why my guidance is not only personalized but also grounded in the practicalities of clinical practice.
With one-on-one meetings tailored to your schedule, you’ll have the support and advice you need to succeed—on your terms.
Imagine earning money while still practicing therapy, all while enjoying the freedom to set your own schedule and work from anywhere. It’s not just a dream—it’s within reach.
Let’s make it happen together.
A Word from Your Coach, Alexandria Theordor, MSW
I embarked on my passive income journey just six months after welcoming my daughter into the world. As a mental health professional, I deeply understood the importance of fostering a secure parental attachment for her overall well-being—both mentally and physically. It was crucial for me to prioritize being present for her during those early months and beyond. However, I was equally committed to maintaining my career, which provides me with mental stimulation, creativity, and financial independence.
While running my private practice as an individual psychotherapist was fulfilling, it also came with limitations in terms of time and income. As my pregnancy progressed and I transitioned into motherhood, I found it increasingly challenging to sustain a consistent schedule and generate income. I was seeking ways to leverage my expertise and support others while preserving my lifestyle and protecting my clinical license.
Creating templates, courses, and eBooks—with multiple streams of passive income—offered the flexibility I needed to work around my baby’s schedule. I could develop and promote my courses during her nap times, maximizing my productivity. Venturing into digital products initially gave me the confidence to explore other non-clinical opportunities, such as coaching, webinars, and group programs, to diversify my revenue streams.
Now, as my child continues to grow, I no longer face the dilemma of choosing between work and family time. Through online course creation and coaching, I’ve found a balance that allows me to thrive in both realms. This journey has enabled me to achieve my financial aspirations while cherishing the precious moments with my daughter.
It’s time to think like an entrepreneur, not just a clinician.
Your education can be repackaged to reduce your direct clinical hours AND bring in extra cash.
Together we can work together to…
- Identify your ideal offering and client so you know exactly what you are selling and who you are selling it to.
- Learn how to save yourself time by teaching something once and selling it over and over again
- Identify how to use 1-2hrs a day to prioritize the 20% of activities that creates 80% of the results and build your side hustle
- Streamline your sales offerings and marketing strategies to maximize your return on investments and simplify your efforts
- Build your confidence and an entrepreneurial mindset by working directly with someone who has “walked the walk”
- Protect your license by disusing ethical and legal considerations when building a non-clinical business along side your clinical practice.

Who Is Not a Good Fit for Coaching?
While coaching can be immensely beneficial for many, there are certain individuals who may not be suited for this type of support:
- Those seeking clinical supervision: My coaching sessions focus on business development and do not delve into clinical treatment specifics. Instead, we concentrate on creating a welcoming and profitable practice that prioritizes client well-being and confidentiality.
- Individuals whose mental health poses a barrier to business success: While I am a licensed therapist, coaching does not replace therapeutic intervention. Those struggling with mental health issues hindering their business endeavors are encouraged to seek psychotherapy first. Referrals can be provided as needed, and please note that I am a mandated reporter, ensuring client safety remains paramount within our coaching relationship. Please refer to disclaimer page and/or coaching contract for details.
- Anyone searching for a get-rich-quick scheme: Building a second income stream requires dedication, patience, and time. While coaching can expedite this process through guidance, strategies, and resources, overnight success is unrealistic. Similar to therapy, developing business skills and a solid reputation takes time and effort.
- Those unwilling to put in the hard work: As your coach, my role is to offer advice and guidance on potential strategies. However, the implementation of these strategies ultimately rests with you. Success in business, like in any endeavor, demands perseverance and a willingness to put in the necessary effort.
