Strategy Support and Consulting for Opening Your Own Therapy Practice

Strategy support and counsulting with Megan Hamilton for opening your own therapy practice

Opening your own therapy practice can be an exciting time, but there are a lot of decisions to make. When you’re going down a road you’ve never travelled before, it can be helpful to have someone to work with to point you in the right direction. This is where my strategy support and consulting can be beneficial.

How To Open a Counselling Private Practice

Deciding who your potential clients will be and marketing your private practice are just some of the decisions you will have to make. Other areas for you to think about that I can help with might include:

  • Setting fees

  • What tools you will use

  • Registering your business

  • Business permits and insurance companies

  • Opening a business bank account

  • Patient forms you need for therapy services 

  • Deciding on office space

  • Practice Management

  • A business plan

  • Social Media

I’ve been down this road and I want you to succeed.

Through my strategy services, we will work through the foundational elements of starting a business and I’ll strategize with you on how to open a counselling private practice. I’ve successfully opened my own private practice, scaled that into a group practice and then opened a multi-disciplinary wellness centre. Through pursuing my own personal training and some uncomfortable risks, I developed a passion for helping other therapists starting out on their own journey of opening a private therapy practice. 

It is important to look after your own mental health when starting a Canadian private practice. Hiring a strategy management consultant can help you to manage the stress and overwhelm that can come with opening your own therapy practice. 

We'll look at the steps to starting a therapy practice and work on the ones you feel you need additional support on. You will own this journey and should be prepared to work through the steps to get you where you want to go. It may get difficult at times and I can be there to support you. 

How Do I Know If I Am Ready To Start a Private Practice?

You probably don’t feel ready. But if you’re looking for resources you are interested and have found yourself in the right place. Together, we create a strategy to get you started working with clients or to build on where you are right now.

How Does Strategy Consulting Work?

This depends on you. Having worked with individuals to launch their counselling business, each person prefers different consulting support. After we connect and discuss your goals and needs, I will come up with a plan for how we can work together. We’ll go over our consulting plan and make any changes or adjustments and your strategy support will begin. 

Your counselling private practice will be uniquely you. I can provide as much or as little consulting support as you need. In this way, you own your journey and I am here to support you as you launch your private practice or as you grow your business and take next steps.

With a consultant working with you through the process, it can ease your stress, save you time and increase your confidence. It will be very rewarding when you open your private practice and become your own boss, taking control of your hours and approach to counselling clients.

You may also be interested in our guides to launch and grow your private practice, some of the other services I offer, or listen to my podcast. These are all great ways to become more informed about starting your own private therapy practice. 

How Do I Get Started with Strategy Support for Opening a Private Practice?

It’s easy to get started - book in a free discovery call with me online. In this 15-minute session, you can share with me your needs and vision, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit to work together.  We’ll then figure out the best direction and next steps to take. I'm very excited to work with you as you take this next step in your journey as a therapist.
