Business Coaching for Therapists
Are you a therapist ready to leave agency work or school counseling behind and step into the freedom of private practice?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the idea of transitioning from agency work to private practice but don’t know where to start?
Is the fear of not having a steady income or losing benefits holding you back from pursuing private practice?
You want something more but feel stuck about next steps to make the leap. You have talked to other colleagues, gone to workshops and looked at books but you still feel stuck and unsure. Its so hard when you have learned nothing about starting a business as well as branding or marketing.
You want to make a difference in the lives of the clients you serve and not feel burned out and overworked working for someone else.. You want the freedom and flexibility of private practice to create your own schedule and get the compensation you deserve.
The good news is you don’t have to do this alone.
I’m here to guide you through every step of the transition
My Coaching style integrates:
Clarity: I help Therapists identify what is working, what's not and where they want to go.
Confidence: Addressing mindset blocks, finding ways to reframe and think outside the box to help with impostor syndrome, self-doubt and decision paralysis.
Strategy: As a coach I'm very goal oritned, I can help break big goals into small steps . I can be your accountability partner and offer support and encouragement to keep going.
From setting up the foundations of your practice to navigating the complexities of running a business, I offer comprehensive coaching to help you successfully launch and sustain your private practice.
Together, we’ll cover everything from developing a niche and marketing strategies to creating sustainable business models tailored to your values and vision. I can help with accountability every step of the way to keep you on track.
You’ll leave feeling confident, prepared, and ready to take control of your professional journey.
I’m Chris McDonald, LCMHCS and have spent the last 10 years in full time successful six figure private practice. I have been there and took the leap from a W2 job as a School Counselor and Community Mental Health.
The idea of leaving that and all the security and benefits behind was super scary. I can help you learn how to create a practice that is aligned with your values, utilizes your strengths and can continue to grow.
Through coaching I can help you feel more confident, clear and capable of creating and running a business that works for you.
