Client Testimonials
Since working with Amy in coaching, I’ve shifted to 100% private pay by marketing to my ideal clients so that I can balance providing excellent clinical care with a financially sustainable practice. I feel more professionally fulfilled as I’ve increased the consultation side of my practice, and begun the process of dreaming bigger and bolder for future offerings.
Before working with Amy, I was lacking confidence that I would be able to create the practice that I envisioned and struggling with imposter syndrome and scarcity mindset. Since working with Amy, I’ve increased my caseload and my monthly converted clients by more than 2x, created a sustainable system for marketing, worked through mindset barriers in order to reach out to other providers, increased revenue by over $2,000/mo.
Since working with Amy, my caseload has increased and I’ve changed my mindset to one of building relationships and offering service to my community. Amy never pushed me farther than I was willing to go and decisions were always mine to make, but she encouraged me to push myself and work with my value system. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking to grow their practice.
Does this sound like you?
...but not attracting your ideal clients or unsure of how to build a consistent marketing plan?
...but not sure exactly what kind of practice you’d like to build or where to start?
...that you are seriously considering giving up on your dream and buying a taco truck?
I hear you...

I’m here to tell you that you can be successful in private practice providing the services that you are highly trained to provide and within the expertise you already have. You don’t need to add another certification, fill a new niche, sell a book, or sign on to the latest franchise. You were attracted to our field for a reason. And guess what? We need you. More than ever before, we need dedicated, skilled, experienced, and PASSIONATE mental health providers. Your unique skill set and values make you perfectly poised for your people, just as you are, right now. YOU are enough!

I’m Dr. Amy Phillips and Intentional Private Practice is my exclusive coaching and clinical consultation model!
About Me
I’ve been in private practice for over nearly 20 years, with over two decades post Ph.D. “in the trenches” experience. I grew my practice from the ground up. I’m the first to admit I made some mistakes along the way.
At times, I believed there was something more I needed outside of myself to be successful–the next training, area of expertise, modality of treatment, etc. I’m here to tell you… I was wrong. By reconnecting with my “why”, by understanding the needs of my ideal client population, and by using my unique set of values to direct every aspect of my business, I re-vitalized my practice and moved from bored and worried in a stale business to empowered and fulfilled in a financially thriving practice with room for my creativity and competency to flourish.
This experience of growing and revitalizing my practice led to my coaching and clinical consultation work through Intentional Private Practice. My learning curve will be your secret weapon as I share what works and doesn’t work to market and grow a successful practice, and help you uncover your own roadmap that I truly believe is already inside of you.
My goal whenever I’m coaching practice builders is to empower them to build the practice of their dreams. Together we problem solve barriers, shift negative and limiting mindsets, and build accountability to get things done. The Intentional Private Practice: Kick Start Group Coaching is eight weeks of dedicated focus on building your practice by shifting mindset, developing values-aligned marketing, exploring money issues, and gaining management competencies.

Client Testimonials
With Amy's help, I’ve been able to define my values and better market to my target population, resulting in an increase in referrals. I’ve onboarded new clinicians who share my values. The result is my practice feels more like I’ve wanted it to feel–connection among staff members and with clients, all working toward the same goal. It’s amazing how being values oriented can shift things so dramatically.
After working with Amy, I feel more secure in what I’m doing, have grown my referral sources, quit my full time job, and clarified values in my business and personal life. Amy forms relationships—and that is what sold me. I would recommend working with Amy to business owners who want to learn how to build not only a business, but a life. She is warm, genuine, flexible, and meets you where you’re at. She cares about me as a human and business owner–and that makes all the difference.
Working with Amy, I grew my gross revenue from low 6 figures to likely over 7 figures this year, and grew. my team from 9 employees to 14. Amy helped me to develop a mission statement and employee handbook, to understand my values as an employer and business, and how to articulate those values to my team and clients. I have gained more confidence in myself and have almost paid off my 6 figure student loan debt in 1 year, which is huge!
This all sounds great!
I've got some questions...
Great question! I want you to be excited for the group because it is a great fit for your needs, and I’ve designed it based on my experience running my own practice and coaching practice owners. All group participants will complete an application that will help me to screen for fit. If I think you’re a good fit but you’re not sure, you are welcome to move your 30 minute initial coaching session up, with no obligation and no fee should you decide not to join the group.
We’ll spend our 8 weeks on four, 2-week units: mindset (including values), marketing, money, and management. I’ve found these areas cover the major issues that practice owners face. I’ll also tailor specific content to meet the needs of each group member, starting with your application and tailored through our initial 30 minute coaching call. But don’t worry, if you need more individualized support, you’ll have a total of two hours of one-on-one coaching where we can cover any topics you choose, and of course we can chat through the Q&A, hot seat coaching, and FB group about any related topics.
Individual coaching is a great way to make rapid gains in your business. But I know that for fledgling practice owners, cash flow can be an issue. That’s partially why I launched the Kick Start Group Coaching program–to provide access to knowledge and resources when you need it the most: early in your practice, when cash flow may be limited. The group experience is significantly less than the cost of my smallest individual coaching package. Put your name on the waitlist and I’ll share pricing as soon as it is available.
I want you to be fully satisfied with the group and invite you to chat with me at any time about how to make the experience just right for you. Due to the nature of the group process, I cannot make any refunds should you choose not to continue or participate in the group once your spot is locked in–but there is absolutely no obligation if you put your name on the waitlist!
We’ll meet through a live video feed (I’ll supply you with the link and talk you through the process before hand). You’ll just need a computer or device with internet access. Headphones and a microphone help but are not required. I’ll share the specifics about our Coaching, Q&A, and Training sessions. Sessions typically run for 60-75 minutes (variable depending on group numbers), starting at 1pm EST/noon CST/11am MST/10am PST. Of course, you can access video replays of our sessions at your convenience through the group hosting portal. Co-working sessions of one hour will be sprinkled throughout the 8 weeks at various times to take advantage of everyone’s schedules.
Timing of a group that meets across time zones is tricky, and I know there isn’t a perfect time for everyone. If you have a “day job” that interferes, my hope is that with advanced notice, you can schedule a lunch hour, mid-morning break, or personal time to coincide with our group time. You are welcome to enjoy your meal while we chat!
If you are able to attend at least a few live sessions or need to leave early, that’s fine: you’ll catch up with the recordings. But, if you cannot make ANY of the live sessions, this may not be the right group for you. I want you to be fully satisfied with the group experience and that means being part of the group! If the timing is wrong for you this time around, reach out and let me know and I’ll keep your info and scheduling considerations in mind for the next group.
In addition to the group sessions, you’ll have a 30 minute individual session to schedule with me prior to start up for goal setting, and a 30 minute individual session to schedule either during or within 60 days of finishing the group to further tailor the experience to your evolving needs. Waitlist members are welcome to schedule their initial 30 minute call immediately, with no obligation to then register for the group. Consider it a try-it-before-you-buy-it special!
Join the waitlist below to get started. Be sure to ask me any questions you may be having so we can make sure this is the perfect fit for you. If we agree to move forward, I’ll send you out initial paperwork and your payment locks in your spot. Space is limited and, based on past experience, I expect the group to sell out. Act quickly if you know this is the right opportunity for you!
