Say Goodbye to Burnout and Low Pay: Build a Life That Prioritizes YOU
Join Our Group Coaching Program To Build a Thriving Virtual Private Practice with Freedom and Flexibility to Live the Life that Prioritizes You and Your Needs.
For years, Emma had poured her heart and soul into her role as a clinical social worker at the local mental health outpatient center.
She worked diligently, day in and day out, to help clients find their strength and overcome their deepest fears. However, each time she approached her superiors with hopes of a well-deserved raise, her dreams were shattered by a resounding no.
“Not enough room in the budget.”
“Maybe next year”
“Lets revisit this at your next annual review”
All things she had heard before and always ended in the same result.
Despite having a Masters Degree from a prestigious university she was stuck making $25/hr.
It didn’t matter how many additional certifications Emma got, or how much overtime she clocked in attending to paperwork and client crisis management…
She felt trapped.
Burnout began to take hold of Emma’s spirit as exhaustion seeped deeper into every fiber of her being.
Are You Currently Working At An Agency Job That…
Doesn’t respect your personal time
No matter how much you do it is never enough. There is always more work to be done so you end up staying late or worse bringing paperwork (and worries) home with you. All you want is to be able to watch Food Network with your husband in peace but instead your mind is at the office trying to figure out how to get all your notes done before the team meeting on Thursday.
Assigns you clients that you do not want or feel prepared to support
A pit of dread hits the stomach as you see a new name on your client roster. The idea of adding one more person to your already overscheduled day is sickening. To top it off, after doing a quick skim of the intake paperwork, you notice this person is a high risk and is going to need extra clinical attention…something that you do not have the bandwidth for. It’s not fair…to you or to them. But what choice do you have?
Leaves you constantly worried about money
At under $30/hour, the ping of “was it worth it” crosses your mind as you see friends and family with less education make double and triple your salary. Living on a salary that hardly covers student loans is a sick joke.
“How is it that with a Masters degree, I need a second job to cover my expenses?”
Stop Accepting Underpaid Agency Jobs
You Deserve More
Becoming your own boss allows you to build a work environment where you THRIVE not just survive.
In the midst of despair, new aspirations flickered within her
The idea of building her own private practice where she could have more control over her work and create meaningful change on a more personal level became an intoxicating possibility.
Emma’s dream of owning her own private practice had finally become a reality.
She transformed a barren office into a haven that built her a life centered around health, wealth, and meaningful relationships. The walls were adorned with motivational quotes and uplifting artwork, setting the tone for clients to begin their journey towards healing.
Emma met regularly in collaboration with like-minded professionals who shared her passion for holistic well-being, not just for the clients but for themselves as well.
Within a supportive community, Emma created a business she was proud to own.
Her business philosophy incorporated not only mental health but also physical and financial wellness – emphasizing the importance of balance in all areas of life.
As word spread about her unique approach, more and more people flocked to Emma’s practice seeking guidance on their path to self-discovery and empowerment. With each success story that she witnessed unfold under her care,
Emma felt an overwhelming sense of fulfillment knowing that she was making a difference in the lives of others while staying true to her core values – health, wealth, and meaningful relationships.
Prioritize Health
With the flexibility of private practice, build a schedule that supports your physical and mental health. Never have to ask for permission to take a vacation or see a doctor every again. Work exclusively with ideal clients who spark your creativity and purpose, not drain all your mental and emotional empathy.
Build Financial Freedom
Money is an amplifier. Creating an abundant stream of income will help you to do more good. While it’s tempting to lower prices to attract more clients, it’s important to remember that not every client is the right fit for your private practice. Charge the value of transformation you are providing and attract clients who appreciate your work with them. This reduces the risk of resentment, therefore allowing you more space (emotionally and financially) to put more good out in the world.
Grow Meaningful Relationships
Life is so much more than what is found within the therapy room. Spending time with friends and family not only is the perfect reset after a busy week, but creates a full and robust life. It is important to nurture these relationships, as like anything they take time and effort to grow and develop. Private Practice makes it easy to prioritize your relationship needs AND still have a career you love.
Hi, I’m Alexandria — your mentor and coach on this private practice journey.
For years I struggled with resentment and burnout after pouring my heart into an agency that didn’t respect me back. At a tipping point I could no longer ignore, I took a leap of faith and quit my stable agency job for the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship by opening my virtual private practice.
My only regret… not doing it sooner.
Today, I am on a mission to help other mental health professionals bet on themselves and build a career that prioritizes and respects their unique needs and values.
Private practice has been a GAME CHANGER for my life and my family, and I want to help others do the same.

Working in high-stress agency jobs can be exhausting, both physically and mentally. As a therapist, you are dealing with clients who may have experienced trauma or are struggling with mental health issues. This can be emotionally taxing, and if you don’t have enough resources to support yourself, you may experience burnout.
Starting your own private practice can help you to create a schedule that works for you, and you can set boundaries that allow you to recharge and take care of yourself.
For me, I see 3 clients in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I choose to work 1-2 evening a week and on those days I enjoy a leisurly morning with my family and start my day at noon.
Not a morning person? Have your day start in the afternoon every day.
No mental bandwidth for narcissistic personality disorder? Refer these clients to a peer who loves working with them.
Experienced a recent family death and not ready to take on any grief/loss clients? No problem. You are the boss and have 100% control over who gets added to your schedule.
This is your practice, you build it in a way that protects yourself and maximizes your mental and physical health.
I don’t know about you, but I do my best work when I am in an environment that is tailor made for my needs.
For me, I thrive in having an office that is comfortable yet organized. Seeing clients on a regular schedule and having set breaks in my day.
As a private practice owner, I have complete control to build my day in a way that works best for me. No more double booking appointments in case someone cancels last minute (I never understood why agencies did this). Good-bye back to back heavy cases without breathing room in between. Yes to a full 1 hour (or more) lunch break that is ACTUALLY A BREAK.
It is time to…
- Create a space that is comfortable and welcoming for your clients.
- Choose the type of therapy that you want to offer and the hours you want to work.
- Only work with clients who are a good fit for your skills and experience, helping you feel more fulfilled in your work.
What are you waiting for?
Starting a private therapy practice can be an excellent way to build generational wealth. Here are five ways how:
- Income diversification – Starting a private therapy practice can diversify your income stream. Rather than relying on a single employer or source of income, you can have multiple revenue streams from various clients. This can help to mitigate risks associated with relying on a single source of income.
- Potential for high earnings – As a private therapist, you can set your own rates and schedule, which can lead to higher earnings. With a growing demand for mental health services, private therapists can charge a premium for their expertise and experience.
- Ability to scale your business – As your private therapy practice grows, you can hire additional therapists to work under your brand. This can help you to scale your business, increase your client base and boost your income.
- Building a valuable asset – A successful private therapy practice can be a valuable asset that can be sold or passed down to future generations. With the right branding and marketing strategy, your practice can establish a strong reputation in the community and be a valuable asset that can provide a steady stream of income for years to come.
- Tax benefits – Starting a private therapy practice can provide you with a range of tax benefits, including business expense deductions, tax credits for hiring employees, and the ability to establish a retirement plan.
Starting a private therapy practice can be an excellent way to build generational wealth. By diversifying your income stream, maximizing your earnings potential, scaling your business, building a valuable asset, and taking advantage of tax benefits, you can create a stable and prosperous financial future for yourself and your family.
An uncompassionate and self-centered boss can make work life a living nightmare. You know the person I am talking about…
insensitive to the needs and feelings of their employees
only cares about their own agenda
has zero respect for boundaries as they text you at all hours of the night
has a tendency to add high acuity clients to your already packed schedule the last minute
As a private practice owner, being your own boss comes with many perks. Firstly, you have complete control over your schedule, giving you the flexibility to work when it suits you best. This is especially beneficial if you have personal commitments or need to take time off for personal reasons. Additionally, you have the ability to set your own rates and choose the types of clients you want to work with. This allows you to focus on your areas of expertise and attract clients who align with your values and approach. Finally, as a private practice owner, you have the freedom to make decisions about the direction of your business and have the satisfaction of seeing your hard work pay off. Overall, being your own boss as a private practice owner can lead to a more fulfilling and rewarding career.
As a therapist, you are no stranger to long hours, high stress and burnout. However, by starting a private practice you can break free from the 9-5 grind and work a schedule that prioritizes your LIFE not your job.
Want to go on an impromptu vacation with your partner?
Need a mental health day to rest and recharge?
Want to plan yearly time off around the holidays without having to “bank seniority” or take turns with other coworkers?
Managing a chronic illness where you have no control over your “bad days” and need a flexible schedule to manage your symptoms and appointments.
With some preplanning, the right resource and mindset, you can build your practice so you can take as much or as little time off you you want and need. In our group coaching program, you can learn how to take control of your time and never have to ask for permission to take time off again.
Join the group coaching calls to discuss how to set boundaries with your clients, manage your time effectively, and build a sustainable and profitable practice. You will also have the opportunity to receive support in between weekly group coaching calls, by checking in with your peers in the private VIP Facebook group
With these resources at your disposal, you can take control of your time and build a practice that meets your needs and allows you to live the life you want. No more asking for permission to take time off – you are the boss now.
Have you every been…
- Stuck in monthly office meetings that should have just been an email.
- Forced to attend the company Christmas party when you know all well you would rather be home with your family.
- Burned by the bosses pet as they talk behind your back making you look like a bumbling idiot
These are nightmares from the past that no longer exist in private practice.
By starting your own private practice, you can create a work environment that fits your own values and beliefs. You can choose who you work with and how you work, without having to worry about navigating the complex web of office politics. This allows you to focus on what you do best – helping those in need.
Working in an optimal environment is like planting a seed in the perfect soil, with just the right amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients. When the conditions are ideal, the seed will sprout and begin to grow into a strong and healthy plant. Similarly, when you work in an environment that supports your growth, you are able to thrive and develop your skills and abilities to their fullest potential. Just as a plant needs the right conditions to grow, you need the right resources, support, and encouragement to become the best version of yourself. When you have these things, you can reach new heights and achieve your goals with ease.
