Online Course for Therapist, Healers, and Private Practice Owners
As a therapist and healer, you have learned skills in connecting, listening, empathizing, reframing, and working with clients from a specific framework(s). One of the biggest pieces missing from your, and majority of psychology or counseling graduate programs, is business training. If in your previous life you worked in the technology field you may be more skilled in creating websites. Or if you worked in sales you feel at ease with networking and sharing what you do now as a therapist. Or maybe you have a background in business and have the skills to establish a business, negotiate a lease and rent with more ease.
My previous background is in Accounting. I got a bachelors degree in Accounting and minored in Psychology. I then became a business analyst in which I assisted in doing software implementations, some programming, and writing training manuals, then conducting training here in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. One area I hear most therapists struggle or feel self-doubt is setting up their accounting and maintaining their books. Having a basic understanding of the income coming in, keeping a profit for yourself (yes it is possible to pay off school loans, save for retirement, vacation, etc) and managing your expenses is vital to having a thriving business.
You have the choice to maintain your own bookkeeping or hire it out. Either is okay, but before you hire it out, I encourage you to gain an understanding of the “how”, “why” and “what”. Knowing these areas of your finances impacts not only your business but your personal budget.
My goal is to help therapists and healers, like you, feel more confident around managing your money in their business and personal life.
To challenge the old beliefs systems that hold you back, such as, “I am not good with managing money”, “Who I am to charge that fee”, “Being a therapist you can’t have a profitable business”, “I didn’t get into this field to be profitable but to serve people”, etc.
To be a successful entrepreneur not only in your clinical skills, but running a financially stable business.

Disclaimer: I am not a tax accountant, certified public accountant, or certified financial planner.
Moving from a traditional employee to the CEO of my own company has been thrilling, but it came with many unknown areas and gaps in my knowledge. Finances, taxes, and managing my expenses to remain profitable has been one of those areas! I am so grateful for this course and getting a better understanding of business systems I need in place to achieve all of my financial goals.
I really like the lessons on money mindset. It has helped me to dive deeper into my money beliefs so I can challenge them and grow as a business owner. I also found the excel spreadsheets to be really helpful in getting a good foundation on tracking and seeing where I have made the most gains.
This is the first time I have started and maintained a budget for my business and home life.
What I wish I knew when starting out-comments from psychotherapists
“Keep accounting up to date from the start. Give it attention and not be avoidant.”
“It’s okay to make a decent living. It’s okay to charge more than other therapists. It’s okay to not accept insurance. And it’s okay to learn some basic accounting skills.”
“When starting out I wish had I been more aware of what my own money stories/wounds were and how that would impact EVERYTHING!”
