From Hesitant to Healing

Your Guide to Starting Private Practice

Are you a clinician with a quiet whisper inside, a curiosity about what it would be like to build your own practice? Do you feel a pull towards autonomy and creating a space truly aligned with your values?

But then... the doubts creep in, right?

  • "It seems so overwhelming..."

  • "Where do I even begin?"

  • “How can I learn to bill on my own?”

  • "What if I mess it up?"

  • "The business side? That's not my expertise..."

That’s where I come in

Hi, I’m Caroline, and I understand that hesitant curiosity.

Stepping into the unknown felt like jumping on a rollercoaster blindfolded—terrifying and puzzling. Fortunately, I had the support and guidance to help me push through the fear.

Fast forward and private practice has been a fantastic gift. It has enhanced my finances, allowed more family time, offered vacations, improved my mental health, and provided recovery space after my illness in 2021.

Now, I focus on helping clinicians just like you gently navigate those initial steps, turning their "what ifs" into "I'm doing it!"

If you’re contemplating private practice, I can share insights to help you see the benefits that lie beyond your fears!

Imagine this:

  • Feeling confident knowing exactly what needs to be done, step by manageable step.

  • Having a clear roadmap that demystifies the business side of practice.

  • Receiving personalized guidance and support tailored to your unique needs and pace.

  • Knowing you have someone experienced in your corner, ready to answer your questions and ease your worries.
