Counselor, Therapist, Social Worker, we all chose this career because we want to help people. I know i did. I wanted to work with women and help them learn how to avoid continuing the destructive cycle of their family system.

I was confident that this was my strength and decided that a women’s mental Health private practice would be the best way for me to reach the women in need and achieve my own professional goals.

Initially i wasn’t overly concerned with the financial side of growing a business, but I had bills to pay and a family to provide for. I learnt the hard way about all aspect of growing a private practice; getting patients, getting paid, growing the practice, managing staff, marketing.

Whether you are just starting out or want your practice to grow to the next level, it is difficult to know what you don’t know. I now focus part of my practice on supporting young therapists realize their professional dreams, through clinical supervision, leadership and mentor programs.
