Coaching for Therapists

Are you ready to take the next step in your therapy career but feeling uncertain about the transition from a structured clinical environment to the freedom of private practice? Or perhaps you’re lost on how to grow your practice into a thriving group practice? 

You’re not alone.

Many talented therapists find themselves at this crossroads, balancing the allure of independence with the apprehension of navigating unfamiliar territory.

That’s where I come in. At Light Within Coaching, I specialize in guiding therapists through this pivotal transition with confidence and clarity.

My tailored coaching program is designed to provide you with the tools, strategies, and support you need to navigate the shift from a structured clinical setting to the autonomy and flexibility of private practice successfully, or to scale your existing practice into a dynamic group setting.

Whether you’re a therapist looking to launch your own practice, expand into a group setting, or navigate challenges in your current practice, I’m here to provide support and guidance.

Let’s embark on this journey together and unlock the full potential of your practice.

Say goodbye to the stress of uncertainty and hello
to a practice of your dreams!

Is it Time to Work With a Coach?

Coaching may be a great fit for you if you’re…

  • Starting a Therapy Practice: If you’re a therapist just starting out and need guidance on setting up your practice, marketing yourself, or managing the business side of your practice, therapy business coaching can provide valuable support.
  • Growing Your Practice: For established therapists looking to expand their client base, increase revenue, or add new services, therapy business coaching can offer strategies and insights to help you achieve your goals.
  • Navigating Challenges: If you’re facing challenges in your therapy practice, such as burnout, difficulty managing time or finances, or dealing with difficult clients, therapy business coaching can provide strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
  • Improving Client Outcomes: Therapists who want to enhance their effectiveness in helping clients achieve their goals may benefit from coaching focused on improving therapeutic techniques, communication skills, or understanding client needs.
  • Transitioning Roles or Specializing: If you’re considering transitioning to a different role within the therapy field (e.g., becoming a supervisor, starting a training program) or specializing in a particular area, therapy business coaching can help you navigate this transition effectively.
  • Personal Growth and Development: Therapy business coaching can also be beneficial for therapists who want to work on personal growth and development, such as improving self-care practices, setting boundaries, or developing a healthier work-life balance.
  • Accountability and Support: Some therapists may find it helpful to work with me to help them stay accountable to their goals and receive ongoing support and encouragement as they navigate the challenges of running a therapy practice.
