Honest talk for a second…
Being a therapist pays crap
That’s right. I said it and you know it is true.
Being a therapist can be a fulfilling career, but it also comes with several expenses and burdens that are associated with practicing psychotherapy
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
Social work in particular is one of the few fields where you graduate with a masters (or beyond) to be making just as much (maybe a smidge more) then someone who has an undergraduate degree or less.
What if I said it doesn’t have to be?
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 who specializes in helping therapists identify their passive income ideas and turn them into reality.
My mission is to guide you through the process of creating your passive income stream, from identifying your niche to marketing your business.
As a clinician myself, I understand the importance of protecting your license and will provide you with the insights and questions to ask yourself to ensure you are operating within your state’s regulations.
I am committed to providing personalized guidance, support, and advice through one on one meetings scheduled at your convenience.
Not only will you be able to make money while still practicing therapy, but you’ll also have the freedom to create your own schedule and work from anywhere. Imagine being able to travel while still earning a steady income. With our coaching services, that dream can become a reality.
A Word from Your Coach, Alexandria Theordor, MSW
“I started my passive income journey 6 months after my daughter was born. As a mental health professional, I understood the value of a secure parental attachment for a child’s overall well-being, both mentally and physically. Therefore, I wanted to prioritize being there for my daughter during her early months of life and beyond. However, I also didn’t want to give up my career, which provides me with mental stimulation, creativity, and financial independence.
While my private practice as an individual psychotherapist was rewarding, it had its limitations in terms of time and income. As my pregnancy progressed and I began raising my child, it became increasingly difficult to maintain a consistent schedule and generate income.
I was searching for ways to share my expertise and assist others that maintaining my current lifestyle and protecting my clinical license.
Crafting templates, courses, and eBooks with multiple streams of passive income allowed me the flexibility to work around my baby’s schedule. I could develop and advertise my courses during my baby’s nap times. My initial foray into digital products instilled the confidence needed to expand into other non-clinical opportunities, like coaching, webinars, and facilitating group programs, for additional revenue streams.
As my child grows, I no longer have to choose between work and family time. With online course creation and coaching, I’m able to enjoy both. This has allowed me to achieve my financial goals while still being present for the precious moments in my daughter’s life.”
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.
