I’ve spent the past 2 years building my own practice and learning what it takes to grow.

Now I help therapists with websites, Psychology Today, online presence, referrals & practice strategy.

One of the hardest parts of growing a private practice?

Keeping the schedule full.

I remember getting to the point where clinicians and interns were joining FTHS and thinking, Okay… now I need to figure out where these referrals are going to come from.

I didn’t want to throw a bunch of money at ads and hope for the best.

So I started working on the things I could actually control:

→ Reaching out to physicians’ offices
→ Getting active in community groups
→ Building our presence on social media
→ Paying attention to what was actually bringing people to the practice

It took time. It took a lot of trial and error. And I definitely didn’t have it all figured out in the beginning.

But it worked.

Two years after opening, FTHS has grown to 10 clinicians and interns. Last month, we billed for around 290 sessions.

That’s a very different practice from the one I started with.

And this is why I talk so much about the business side of private practice.

Because knowing how to provide great therapy is one thing.

Knowing how to get clients, build referral relationships, market your practice, and create enough demand to support a growing team is a completely different skill set.

I had to learn it by doing it.

Now I get to help other therapists avoid some of the guesswork.

If you’re trying to grow your private practice and referrals are something you’re struggling with, send me a message. Let’s talk about what’s going on.

How did my private practice go from 90 followers to 7.3K followers and get a Reel to 1.7 MILLION views on Facebook?

This is my private practice, Fallen Timbers Holistic Services

When I started the practice, getting clients and getting our name out there was one of the things I had to figure out.

I didn’t have a huge audience. I didn’t have a big marketing team behind me.

I had a practice to build.

So I paid attention to what actually helped people find us, learn about us, and eventually reach out.

And over time, we built an online presence that actually helped support the growth of the practice.

But here’s the part that matters to me:

I didn’t set out to build a social media account. I set out to build a private practice.

Social media was one piece of that.

And that’s the experience I want to bring to other therapists who are trying to build their own practice, because I know how different it feels when you’re the one responsible for figuring out the clients, referrals, business decisions, and everything in between.

One of the things I love most about owning a private practice?

I get to decide what my day looks like.

If I have a cancellation on a beautiful day, I don’t necessarily have to find something else to fill that hour just because I’m supposed to be sitting at work.

Sometimes I take the dogs for a walk. 🐾

Sometimes I use that time to catch up on something. Sometimes I just enjoy having a little space in my day.

That flexibility is one of the reasons I wanted my own private practice in the first place.

For a lot of therapists, starting a private practice isn’t just about becoming your own boss. It’s about having more say in:

→ When you work
→ How you structure your schedule
→ Who you work with
→ What kind of practice you build
→ What you want your work to look like alongside the rest of your life

Of course, owning a private practice comes with responsibilities that working for someone else doesn’t. You’re running a business, too.

But there’s something pretty powerful about building a practice around the life you want instead of trying to fit your life around someone else’s schedule.

That’s a big part of why I love private practice.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice, what would having more control over your schedule actually allow you to do?

Starting a private practice sounds simple… until you realize how much there is to figure out beyond the therapy itself.

Here are a few things I’d want you to think through:

1. “Where are my clients coming from?”
Start thinking about referrals, your professional network, your website, Psychology Today, and how people will actually find you before you open your doors.

2. “Am I charging enough?”
Look at your expenses, the income you need, your expected client load, and whether you’re taking insurance, private pay, or both. Your session rate needs to make sense for the business you’re trying to build.

3. “Do I take insurance?”
There isn’t one answer for everyone. Think about your ideal clients, reimbursement, administrative work, and the kind of practice you want to run.

4. “How do I get referrals?”
Start building relationships before you need a full caseload. Think about other therapists, physicians, community organizations, schools, and other professionals who already work with the people you want to serve.

5. “Wait… I have to run the business too?”
Yep. There’s the clinical side, and then there’s everything behind it: business setup, finances, credentialing, billing, systems, marketing, client communication, and more.

You don’t need to become a business expert overnight.

But you do need to understand what you’re getting into and have a plan for the pieces that will actually keep your practice running.

Save this if private practice is on your mind and send it to the therapist who’s been saying, “I really want to do this, but I don’t know where to start.”

What are you trying to figure out right now: clients, money, insurance, or getting the practice set up?

Why would I teach other therapists how to build a private practice when they could become my competition?

I get asked this a lot.

I remember what it was like to want my own practice but have no idea how to actually build one. How do I get clients? How do I build referrals? What do I need to set up? How do I run the business side while still being a therapist?

And I’ve heard the same thing from so many clinicians:

“I would start my own practice, but I don’t know where to start.”

I get it.

I started Fallen Timbers with two clinicians. Two years later, we’ve grown to 10 clinicians and interns.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way. I’ve spent way too much time figuring things out the hard way. I’ve had the headaches, the bumps, the bruises, and definitely a few “what am I doing?” moments.

But that’s exactly why I want to help other therapists build their own practices.

I’m not trying to help you build my private practice. I’m trying to help you build yours.

If starting your own private practice has been on your mind, tell me what part feels the hardest right now. I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Want your own private practice? Start here.

I remember how quickly the excitement of starting a practice can turn into a long list of questions.

What should I charge?
Can I afford to leave my current job?
Do I take insurance or private pay?
Where are my clients going to come from?
Do I need a website? Psychology Today? Both?
What do I actually need to set up before I start?
And then you hear things like EIN, NPI, CAQH, credentialing, EHR… and suddenly it feels like there’s a whole business you were never taught how to build.

You already know how to be a therapist.

Running the practice is a different skill set.

And you don’t need to figure out every part of it before you begin. You do need to know what you’re building, what the numbers need to look like, how you’re going to get clients, and what needs to happen next.

That’s a big part of what I’ve learned from building my own practice.

Save this if starting your own private practice is something you’re seriously thinking about.

Private practice gets a lot less stressful when you stop guessing.

One of the hardest parts of starting a private practice is realizing just how many decisions you suddenly have to make.

What should I charge?

Should I take insurance or private pay?

How many clients do I actually need each week?

How much do I need to make each month?

Where are my referrals going to come from?

What do I need to do before I leave my current practice?

And honestly, when you don’t have anyone to help you work through those questions, it can feel like you’re just making your best guess and hoping it works out.

I remember how much there was to figure out when I started my own practice.

You can be confident in your clinical skills and still feel completely unsure about the business side of private practice.

That’s why I believe having a plan matters so much.

You don’t need to have every detail figured out before you start. But you do need to understand what you’re building, what your numbers look like, how you’re going to bring in clients, and what needs to happen before you take that next step.

Guessing is stressful. Planning is where it’s at.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice, what’s the part you’re most unsure about right now?

08/18/2026

Can I be honest?

I’ve seen way too many clinicians stay in practices they’ve outgrown because starting a private practice feels so overwhelming.

They know they want more freedom.
They want more say in their schedule.
They want to work with the clients they actually want to work with.

But then the questions start:

How do I get clients?
Should I take insurance or private pay?
How do I get credentialed?
What do I need to set up first?
What if I leave and my caseload doesn’t fill?

I remember having so many of those questions when I started my own private practice.

And honestly, I wish I had someone I could call and ask, “Okay… what would you do?”

You don’t need another clinical training to start your private practice. You need to understand the business side, have a plan, and know what to work on next.

That’s a big part of why I created the Private Practice Launch Lab. I want therapists who are thinking about going out on their own to have the support and roadmap I wish I had when I was starting.

If starting your own private practice has been on your mind, you don’t have to have it all figured out yet.

You just need to start somewhere. 💜

The Private Practice Launch Lab starts August 25.

One of the biggest mistakes I see therapists make when they’re thinking about private practice is figuring out the business side after they’ve already made the decision to leave.

You don’t need every number figured out perfectly, but you should have a starting point.

Save this if private practice is on your mind.

This is the part of private practice I don’t think we talk about enough.

Having more say over your schedule.

Being able to take a Friday morning for yourself.

Seeing a client, getting your hair done, and going to play golf later without having to ask someone else if your schedule allows it.

For me, starting a private practice was about more than building a business. I wanted to build a way of working that actually fit my life.

And I know that kind of freedom is one of the reasons so many therapists start thinking about private practice in the first place.

The hard part?

Figuring out how to actually build it.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice but keep getting stuck on where to begin, I created the Private Practice Launch Lab to help with exactly that.

We start August 25. 💜

You can build a practice that works for your life.
