Private Practice & Business Consulting
Starting or growing a private practice is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. From navigating the business side of therapy to figuring out how to attract the right clients, there are a lot of moving parts that grad school didn’t prepare you for. That’s where private practice consulting comes in.
ERA offers consulting for therapists who want to build, refine, or expand their own private practice. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a solo practice, creating a thriving group practice, or looking for ways to streamline your systems and reduce burnout, we can help you design a business that works for you.
My private practice consulting services are designed for therapists at different stages of the journey, including:
Starting A New Practice
Therapists launching a solo practice who want guidance on the logistics—like choosing a business structure, setting up systems, marketing, and creating a sustainable fee structure.
Realigning Your Current Practice
Clinicians already in private practice who feel stuck or want support in refining their brand, filling their caseload, or improving their workflow because something just isn’t working quite right.
You’ll get actionable steps, honest feedback, and practical advice from someone who has been there - who has built and runs a thriving private practice.
Expanding to A Group Practice
Practice owners building a group practice who need help with leadership, hiring, onboarding, and creating a positive team culture. Ethically and sustainably.
And any practice owner who wants to avoid burnout and create a practice that supports their life outside the therapy room.
Our sessions are tailored to your specific goals, but common topics include:
Business setup and organization
Marketing strategies that feel authentic (not salesy)
Branding and creating a niche
Building a referral network
Policies, paperwork, and compliance basics
Fee setting and financial planning
Hiring, onboarding, and managing a team
Workflows, systems, and technology that make your life easier
Balancing being a clinician with being a business owner
Business ownership and operation as a neurodivergent clinician
Why Work With Emily:
Nobody taught us this stuff in grad school.
There’s no one “right” way to run a private practice, but there is a right way for you.
My consulting style is straightforward, supportive, and realistic. I won’t give you cookie-cutter advice - but I WILL help you design a business that aligns with your values, your clinical strengths, and your lifestyle.
As a group practice owner myself, I know both the challenges and the rewards of this work. I’ve been through the trial and error, and I’m uniquely equipped to help make your path smoother, less stressful, and more sustainable.
