Work with Me

Are you a therapist contemplating making the leap to private practice?

Are you ready to make the leap out of the grind of working for someone else, or agency work that does not align with your reasons for entering the field? Or has your practice become stagnant and you are looking to reinvigorate it with a heavy dose of your own values?  

Maybe you feel burnt out, or lost your mo-jo, and find yourself dreaming of a different job?

A New Relationship with Your Work

What if I told you that not only can you have the practice that you dream about, fully aligned with your passions and values, but that it is already inside of you waiting to blossom?

I believe the work we do is different, and we are each uniquely suited to work with our ideal clients.  Showing up authentically, not only do our clients thrive, but we can shine through and actualize our own strengths.

My Philosophy

You are the expert in the business that’s right for you. That’s right… YOU. Don’t let anyone else tell you how to run your business.  

Sure, there’s lots to learn, but when you show up fully and practice with integrity, you’ll stop having boundary battles with clients, you’ll stop feeling guilty or fearful for turning down a client who is a poor fit for your skill set, and you’ll attract the ideal clients with whom you can do your best work.

How I Can Help

Free Community

If you are a mental health provider or affiliated health care provider interested in exploring how to launch, grow, or transform your practice by aligning your business practices with your deeply held values, along with blog updates and conversation, then join the Intentional Private Practice community on Facebook.

This community is free to participate in and full of support, camaraderie, tips, and tools. Join an occasional challenge for some accountability and to try out some new strategies, or pull up a chair and a cup of coffee and “hang out” with your colleagues between appointments.

Coaching & Clinical Consultation

Humans are social creatures, and first and foremost, you are not alone.  You don’t have to go it alone even in solo private practice!

I help you identify your ideal clients and show up authentically in your work, so that you can build a practice that is emotionally and financially sustainable.  

You may need clarity in understanding your practice intentions and values, you may need help setting specific, attainable goals, you may need a level of accountability, and you likely need a little of each.

In a supportive group atmosphere with other practice builders, you’ll deep dive into your goals and dreams, explore your business values and use them to infuse every aspect of your work, identify a marketing plan that is right for you, connect in meaningful ways with your ideal clients and referral sources, and understand rates, budgeting, and expenses in private practice!

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.
