❤️ Send this to a therapist friend who’s stuck in a toxic workplace and needs a reminder that there’s another way.

I get it. Leaving feels terrifying. You wonder if you can actually do it, if you’ll make enough, or if you’re just trading one kind of stress for another.

I don’t share this often because I don’t want to call out specific places or people I’ve worked for, but I’ve been there. I’ve worked in environments that drained me—mentally, emotionally, physically. Leaving wasn’t easy, but it was necessary.

Starting my own practice felt like a risk, but it gave me back everything. My time, my energy, and my health.

Now I get to teach therapists how to create practices where they can work on their own terms—without the burnout, without accepting less than they’re worth, and without staying stuck in a place that doesn’t align with who they are.

If this resonates, comment the word ROADMAP, and I’ll send you the link to my course. It’s a step-by-step guide for therapists who are ready to take that next step and build something better for themselves.

You don’t have to settle. You deserve better.

❤️, Kelley

I understand how intimidating it can be to put yourself out there and market your private practice.

With so many strategies—posting on Instagram, building a website, giving CE talks, or networking with doctors—it can be overwhelming to figure out which path aligns with who you are as a therapist!

In my Marketing for Therapists course, I simplify the process by breaking down each strategy, allowing you to choose the ones that play to your strengths.

The most effective way to grow your practice is by staying true to YOURSELF and being of service to your clients.

Now is the perfect time to jump in and elevate your practice!

In 12 easy-to-follow video modules, I break down all the ways to market your private practice—including strategies you might not have thought of yet. Plus, I give you a 6-month marketing plan and help you customize it so it actually works for you (and your schedule).

🙌 It is 💯 possible to make a good living as a therapist, meet your financial goals, and practice ethically!

Here are three ways to do it:

🌈$ 250 per session X 22 sessions per week X 46 working weeks = 253K (keep your overhead under $4,416 to stay over 200K)

⭐️$200 per session X 25 sessions per week X 47 working weeks = 235k (then keep your overhead under 2,916 monthly to stay over 200K).

❤️$150 per session X 30 sessions
per week X 48 = 216k (keep your
overhead under $1333 per month to stay over 200k)

❤️$100 per session X 30 sessions
per week X 48 = $144k ( keep your overhead under 2,200 per month to stay over 100k)

☀️Your earning potential comes down to TWO things:

Math and Marketing 🧮

⭐️Set your financial goals and stick to your boundaries. And then learn to market yourself to the clientele you want to see! Comment the word GROW, and I’ll show you how.

****Before you come at me in the comments. I want you to remember a few things. I keep FOUR spots in my practice at $20 or below per session. Every therapist creates accessibility in ways that work for them. I choose to have your low-fee spots, donate to mental health nonprofits, and vote for politicians who favor mental health funding. Additionally, I live in Southern California, where BOTH my expenses and my rates are high.

The point of this reel is that you always need to do the MATH before setting income limits on yourself.

In less affluent areas you may need to charge less but you may also pay less in overhead (my office rent was $2200 per month before I went virtual).

If you've been procrastinating 🫣🫣and telling yourself, “I’ll open my private practice in 2024,” I have news for you: there’s no perfect time.

Comment “ROADMAP” ❤️

We’re down to the last few weeks of 2024, but guess what? There’s still time to get yourself ready to open your private practice in January. And honestly? January is the best time to launch.

I started my private practice in January 2016, and that fresh start gave me the boost I needed to make it happen.

Here’s why January is the perfect time:
1️⃣ Clients are ready. They’re prioritizing their mental health and actively searching for therapists.
2️⃣ Insurance deductibles reset. Fresh benefits mean clients are motivated to book.
3️⃣ Momentum matters. Start strong, and you’ll fill your calendar for the rest of the year.

But here’s the thing—if you want to hit the ground running by January 1, prep starts now. Here’s what I’d do:

✨Get clear on your niche now. Who do you really want to help? This is the foundation of everything.
👏Set up the basics. Think business name, EHR, licenses, and tools.
✅ Start marketing early. Relationships you build now = referrals in January.

And here’s the best part: the cost of my Private Practice Roadmap course can be written off as a business expense. It walks you through every step—from naming your business to landing your first client.

The Black Friday Sale is coming soon, and it’s the biggest discount of the year. Be one of the first 100 to join the waitlist and grab your spot. Comment “FIRST 100” below, and I’ll send you the link.

2025 could be the year you finally make your private practice dream a reality. Let’s make it happen—together. 💛Kelley

You can have a CONSISTENTLY FULL therapy practice.

You can have a CONSISTENTLY FULL therapy practice.👇

Most times when a therapist tells me they need clients, the first thing I do as about how much time they spend marketing.

And I notice the same things.

They don’t have a clear / simple plan for promoting their private practice.

They are relying on Psychology Today for all their referrals.

They are meeting with referral sources once and never following up.

They aren’t clear on their niche.

Or their marketing materials talk more about themselves than their ideal clients.

But it’s okay. There are 3 simple ways to fix this.

👉First comment “JUMPSTART” to get my FREE Guide To Booking Your Calendar Solid.

1. The Niche

You need to tell or show why you are uniquely equipped to help in their points of struggle, and this involves showing up CONSISTENTLY online or with referral sources

2. Be Consistent

Building a professional reputation takes repeated efforts.

For example, let’s say you are trying to get referrals from a local private school. Do you think they’re likely to refer to somebody who visited the school once or somebody who offers to do a free presentation for the counseling staff four times a year?

Hi there, I’m Kelley 🥰 I believe in therapis

Hi there, I’m Kelley 🥰

I believe in therapists redefining success on their own terms and creating private practices that fit into their real lives….not the other way around.

Success doesn’t have to look like burnout or long hours working at a treatment center; it should FEEL aligned with your goals and your family.

I’m here to share strategies that work (and skip the ones that don’t) so you can build a thriving practice without sacrificing your boundaries or well-being.

I’m on a mission to help therapists create sustainable, cash-pay private practices and stop feeling like they have to hustle nonstop to succeed. You deserve a business that supports your life, family, and allows you to show up fully for yourself and your clients.

Grab a cozy chair, stay awhile. If this resonates with you, let me help you build a practice!

When I’m not doing this, I’m chasing after my boys, working in my niche (therapy for teen girls), and sneaking in a few minutes of TV time with my husband after our kids fall asleep.

Now it’s your turn—what’s one goal you’re working toward in your practice? Share in the comments—I’d love to cheer you on!
