Are you a mental health professional who wants to start
a private practice, but have no idea where to start?
Are you feeling burnt out? Overwhelmed? Overworked? Undervalued? Do you find yourself daydreaming about what a life in private practice could be like? Financial freedom, hours conducive to your scheduling needs, working with your ideal clients, being your own boss, freedom from never-ending paperwork…
Now, imagine if that dream of owning your very own practice could be a reality?
I want you to imagine your ideal practice. Imagine actually working the hours you WANT to work. Imagine working with your IDEAL clients. Imagine NEVER having to answer to anyone when you want to take a day off. Imagine having the ability to make MORE money. Imagine having to do LESS paperwork. The best part is, this dream can absolutely become your reality and I am here to help you do just that.
Just a few short years ago, I was like you. I was feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out by my 9-5. I spent more time doing paperwork than actually seeing clients. I had no time for coordination of care phone calls, let alone lunch or bathroom breaks. I felt as though I was consistently battling with insurance companies to obtain services vs. actually provide the service itself. I felt I had no say in my work anymore and I was fulfilling someone else’s vision, instead of my own. I felt completely unfulfilled and was losing sight of my passion for the field.
I always dreamed of starting my own private practice, but this dream seemed scary and out of reach.
I had no idea where to start. I knew nothing about running a business. I questioned my capabilities and qualifications out of fear. And I was unsure how I would ever survive financially without my steady 9-5 paycheck. But then I remembered why I got into the mental health field….. I have a passion for helping people, for making a difference. I believe in the power of change. I believe in supporting others to step outside of their comfort zones to make positive and healthy changes in their lives.
This became a parallel process to my own life. If I believed enough in my clients to make changes in their lives, then why didn’t I believe enough in myself to do the same?
Fast forward a few years, and I now have a successful and thriving self-pay only private practice.
"This course gave me the courage and self confidence I needed to push myself towards my dreams!"
"I came across Sarah’s private practice start up course very randomly via social media and am sooo grateful for this connection. As a mental health professional and aspiring private practice business owner I have networked with various LCSW and private practice owners via social media, but have gained the most from my connection with Sarah. I signed up for her private practice course, which reassured me that I was on the right track towards fulfilling my dream of someday having a fully booked private practice! The education, experience, and knowledge provided in her course (and handy checklist) gave me insight on things I wouldn’t even think of when going through the process of building a profitable practice. Sarah was very informative and makes you feel very comfortable in following along her at your own pace course. Each week, Sarah provided knowledge and more importantly pulled knowledge from her personal experience to help guide you towards practice start up and success. This course gave me the courage and self confidence I needed to push myself towards my dreams. I am happy to say I am now scheduling clients and gaining referrals for my practice and I have solidified a part time office space to begin my journey of doing what i love. Thank you Sarah for the reassurance, knowledge, and experience. I highly recommend working with her and signing up for her course.”

“If you are interested in starting up your own practice, I highly recommend [Sarah’s] course filled with lots of information and the do’s and dont’s to get you prepared for your business."
"I found Sarah's Private Practice Digital Course to be extremely well organized and comprehensive. The modules, tools, resources and worksheets provide a thorough framework to think through and plan for all aspects of opening a practice. I feel so much more prepared and ready to start my endeavor."
“I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU. I feel a lot better, motivated, and positive about this journey and I couldn’t do it without you.”
“Before finding Sarah’s private practice e-course, I thought private practice was something I would pursue decades from now. Within six months of finding the course, I started my part-time private practice. The e-course is well-organized and filled with useful information, and Sarah’s approach is candid and supportive. The logistics of developing a small business seemed daunting, but Sarah was able to break things down in a way that made it clear just how do-able private practice is. Sarah’s expertise and guidance have been integral to the growth of my practice. The private practice e-course was an investment in myself, my career, and my future. I cannot recommend it enough!”
"I just wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the ecourse!..I have absolutely moved from thinking about part-time private practice as something I’d do “someday, maybe” to really planning for this. That mind shift happened much more quickly than I expected! I am feeling inspired (a word I don’t use lightly!) and motivated. It’s been hard for me over the years to stay motivated around personal-professional development because the work that I do leaves me feeling like there isn’t enough time, money, energy, or effort to take any steps forward. But! Your ecourse is so thorough and is delivered in a way that it feels like we’re just having a conversation, and this has helped me to stay dedicated and committed to this goal. You’ve also done an incredible job of breaking down all the business logistics and money matters that would have scared me away and made me shut down before, and this feels doable and possible!"
"Thank you again for the information and for the course. I found it very helpful and informative, especially the piece about creating complete intake packets that spell out informed consent, expectations for payment and counseling fees.”
“I am reaching out to express how helpful this ecourse has been for me! Being a full time Social Worker and mom of two very active little guys my 'plans' and dreams of someday having my own practice seemed like such a long shot. Completing the ecourse at my own pace and having something tangible to refer back to has been incredibly helpful. Walking me through every step, even the overwhelming parts of the business, I felt you were there with me and supporting me. Also, connecting with Sarah personally has given me the motivation to push myself to achieve this goal. I highly recommend this ecourse and I look forward to working with Sarah in the future for coaching. Thank you!!!”
“Sarah's private practice digital course was extremely helpful!! The course not only helped me lay the foundation for starting my practice, but gave me the confidence in myself to do so. Sarah gives SO much important information in each module. The worksheets that go along with the material helped me to follow along, and are useful to look back to when you are putting things into place later. I love that Sarah brings her own personality and experiences into the course. As a mental health clinician working in an agency setting, I could definitely relate to her, which also helped me to know that private practice is an achievable goal for me. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in opening a private practice but is not sure how to begin.”
“I finally just completed your 8 week digital course. I just want to say THANK YOU, for sharing your knowledge and experiences, for all of the important information you included that is needed to know before starting a private practice, AND for your words of encouragement. I appreciate that you were very real and relatable. I (and I am sure most other clinicians) can relate to the mental and emotional exhaustion of working in an agency setting. I came into this field with a passion for helping others in grow into their true potential, and sadly, it feels my passion had faded while at work, as I have moved from one non-for-profit agency setting to another. I have suffered from burn out, and do not enjoy coming to work as much as I used to. While I have still learned a lot from these jobs, I am SO ready to start building my own practice and being able to love what I do. I also had the belief that I would have to wait years down the road to have my own practice, but you have helped to give me the confidence and motivation to believe that I can do this within the next year. Thank you for also reminding me to take my time with planning this out. I was very excited when I first learned about this and you stressed the importance of not getting too far ahead of myself which can be hard for me to do. I now plan to reflect on everything and start planning”
“Sarah, as a person has been so accessible and encouraging since I first connected with her on Instagram. Even before I committed and bought the course, she was kindly supporting my dreams. I am so grateful that I purchased her modules before launching my Private Practice. There are many helpful resources and dialogue that I needed and gained. This week I launched my website and in 3 weeks will begin seeing clients at a space I am renting! While this journey felt very isolating and overwhelming, Sarah’s course gave me hope & connection. I do not think I would have had the courage to act on my dreams had I not taken this course!! It’s so worth it!!"
While building my practice over the past few years, I have invested in countless private practice consults, business coaching, trainings, webinars, and continued education. I have done a lot of research as well as good old fashioned trial and error to achieve the knowledge and expertise I have today.
Lucky for you, I have condensed three years of time, monetary investments, knowledge, research, and education into a digital course, which is designed to help you learn how to take steps towards opening your very own private practice!
Now, you may be thinking,“Great, this is probably going to be so expensive!”. Well, I was in your shoes not too long ago and only wish I could have been offered a course to save me time, $$, headache, and LOTS of trial and error, but there was nothing quite like this out there. And as therapists, when we see a problem, we look for a solution right? This is EXACTLY why I decided to create this course, so that others can jump right in and get their practice started, minus all the headaches and $$$.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
This course is designed to be convenient and completed at your leisure. You can work on the private practice digital course course anytime, anywhere! You can be in your pajamas on the couch or in your office on your lunch break! Each week from the date of purchase, you will receive an email with a link to the course content; which will include a training video, printable worksheets, resource pages, and bonus content. From there, you will find a comfortable space to watch the training videos and complete the worksheets.
This course takes place over an 8 week period and is designed to be fun, engaging, motivating, and inspiring. You can pause the videos at any time and come back to the work as needed. At the end of the 8 weeks, you will have successfully completed the course and will have all of the tools you need to start your journey towards opening your own practice!
HOW DO I KNOW IF I SHOULD DO THE COURSE VS. 1:1 COACHING?
This is a question I receive often as the content in the course is so detailed, it almost seems too good to be true! The benefit of taking the course is that it is done at your leisure. You do not need to worry about scheduling appointments with me and can dive into the work at your pace. Additionally, as much as I LOVE supporting fellow mental health professionals in reaching their goals of opening their own practice, I am only one person and can only have so many coaching clients at a time.
This is one of the reasons I created the private practice digital course, as I wanted to be able to reach and support as many people as I could, without overwhelming my own schedule! I always recommend if you are just starting out on this journey, that you first take the course. The course truly lays out all of the information you need to start your practice. From there, if you still feel as though you need 1:1 coaching support moving forward, we can connect further at that time to review different options!
WHAT IF I DON'T FINISH IN 8 WEEKS?
The course takes place over a period of 8 weeks and the idea is that at the end of the 8 weeks, you will have successfully completed the course. Now, what about when life happens and you can't get to the course one week no matter how hard you tried?! Or maybe you are someone who is thinking about your busy schedule and are worried about committing to 8 consecutive weeks. Rest assured, this course is still for you and heres why...
This private practice digital course takes place over an 8 week period, but does not need to be completed in exactly 8 weeks. You will still have access to each module as the weeks progress. So, at the end of the 8 week period, you will have access to ALL of the content from the course. If something comes up and you need to take a week or two off, no worries! Just pick up where you left off, and continue to complete the course in sequential order as this will be most beneficial and skipping modules will increase the likelihood of you missing valuable and important information!
I get it. Life is busy, hectic, and sometimes downright overwhelming. The last thing I want is for this course to feel like an obligation as opposed to something you truly look forward to completing. I would rather you take time when it feels right for you to really focus and do the work vs. try to cram in it in because you are worried about a deadline. This course is meant to inspire and shift mindsets, not stress and overwhelm!
WHAT IF I STILL FEEL LIKE I NEED SUPPORT AFTER THE 8 WEEK PRIVATE PRACTICE DIGITAL COURSE?
At the end the 8 weeks, you will undoubtedly feel motivated, inspired, and ready to start taking the next steps towards opening your own practice. However, this can still feel a bit overwhelming and that is OKAY! Starting your own practice takes a lot of work and effort and you may feel as though you need the continued support along the way! This is why I have designed 1:1 coaching packages, so that mental health providers can gain continued support and encouragement as they continue to work towards their goals!
