Running a therapy practice is hard.
That’s why you need a companion.

Here’s My Story

My name is Alison Maratos, and I want to be your practice companion.

I am here because I care about the therapy profession. A lot (maybe too much sometimes). I have been a Registered Social Worker for 30 years. I guess that makes me sound old. Whatever. If working with a Gen X-er isn’t for you, that’s ok with me.

I’m here because I see our profession growing at a rapid rate. Too fast. The result of this is a huge number of therapists who want so badly to do good clinical work, but who are struggling with the same issues:

  • Developing clinical confidence

  • Learning best practices for assessing, planning and documenting

  • Financial insecurity that comes from struggling to find clients and afford a practice

  • Lack of business knowledge

  • Fear


It’s time for therapists to gain:

  • The confidence that comes from knowledge

  • The fulfillment that comes from connection

  • The satisfaction that comes from doing amazing work

If you’re a Group Practice Owner, I’ve got you too!


I have struggled with the steep learning curve of managing my own practice and supporting a team on my journey as an “accidental” GPO (Thanks, COVID). The bottom line is, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with the magnitude of responsibility that comes from managing a clinical team and business. I have struggled with this through good and bad, and now I am ready to help you end the struggle and get your life back. Move on over to the GPO resources and find out how I have translated my clinical skills, love of supervision, mentoring, teaching and knowledge sharing into some supports I hope you’ll find helpful.

What some of your colleagues are saying about working with me.

  • Lisa Catallo, MA, RCC, CCC Panorama Wellness Clinic Director

    I have worked alongside Alison for over 5 years now and do not hesitate to recommend her to you.  Alison has a passion for helping therapists in private practice excel at how they serve their clients clinically, ethically, and through customer service.  As a group practice owner this is invaluable because she can come in and support your therapists in a way that makes them feel cared for by you.  The tools she has created around note taking, in particular, were such a help to our team.  You will not regret working with Alison!

  • Barbara Brown, MTS, RP Redbird Therapy Centre Clinical Director & Supervisor

    Alison provided incredibly helpful, tangible coaching support to my group practice Associates! The Associates came away from the two-workshop training with specific goals, strategies on how to move forward, and enthusiasm to begin strengthening their work in psychotherapists in a group practice setting. Thanks so much for your invaluable support!

  • Julie Loundbury, MSW, RSW

    "I was so excited to take Alison's private practice workshop and it did not disappoint. I left feeling inspired and motivated to start my own private practice. The course content was interesting and Alison is an extremely engaging presenter. Two years later, I have my own private practice treating the clients I love and I was able to quit my agency job and do this full time.
