1:1 Consulting for Therapy Practice Owners

Most engagements start with bi-weekly two-hour sessions. That’s four hours a month, plus time between sessions to act on what we’ve worked on together. The owners who get the most out of consulting treat those hours as protected time — not something to reschedule when things get busy. If your schedule is unpredictable right now, we can talk through whether the timing is right.

One-on-one consulting is billed at $345/hour with a two-hour session minimum. There’s no long-term contract — the foundation phase runs on an hourly basis so you can experience the work before committing to ongoing support. Most foundation phase engagements run between $4,000 and $10,000 depending on your goals and pace.

You’ll know because things will change. You’ll make decisions you were avoiding. You’ll understand your numbers. You’ll stop reinventing the wheel with every operational problem. Most clients notice a shift in how they’re running their practice within the first two to three months — not because the problems disappear, but because they have a clearer way to approach them.

It depends on what you’re working on. Financial literacy and operational systems tend to show measurable progress within the first few months. Strategic planning, and leadership development take longer — these are skills you build over time, not problems you solve once. We’ll set clear priorities at the start so you know what to expect and when.

Yes. I work with practice owners at every stage — from solo practitioners building their first real business foundation to group practice owners managing teams, systems, and strategic growth. The work is tailored to where you are and where you want to go.

Most sessions are conducted via Zoom. In-person meetings are available on a limited basis for clients in the Chicago area. I work with therapy and group practice owners throughout Illinois and across the U.S.

My expertise is specifically in therapy and mental health practices. I understand the clinical, ethical, and business dimensions of this field — and that specificity is what makes the guidance useful. I don’t work with practices outside of mental health.

Traction Pods are 3-month group programs where 4-6 practice owners learn and apply foundational business tools to their own practice. Great for owners who want a hands-on, structured application of learning to their practice in a peer learning environment with expert guidance at an accessible price point.

AIM Groups are ongoing accountability groups exclusively for Traction Pod graduates who want to maintain momentum with peer support.

1:1 Consulting is personalized, strategic guidance for owners who want collaborative engagement and deeper exploration of complex challenges or prefer individual work over group settings. Many consulting clients have completed a Traction Pod first — but it’s not required.

The foundation phase typically runs 4-7 months with bi-weekly meetings. After that, about half of my clients continue with monthly sessions for ongoing support and quarterly planning. Length varies based on your goals and how quickly you want to move.

You can pause or stop at any time during the hourly foundation phase. After our 4-6 month review, we’ll explicitly evaluate whether to continue. I never want you investing in something that isn’t delivering clear value.

We’ll work with whatever level of detail you’re comfortable sharing. That said, the more transparent you can be about your numbers, the more effectively I can help you make informed decisions. Everything we discuss is confidential.

Absolutely. Some owners benefit from group learning for foundational tools plus 1:1 consulting for specific strategic challenges unique to their practice.
