Running a therapy practice is hard.

You know how to be a great therapist, its just all of the stuff you didn’t learn in grad school that keeps you up at night.

It’s time for therapists to work smarter, not harder and position your therapy practice so you can stop worrying about all the stuff they didn’t teach you in grad school.

OVERWHELMED TO CONFIDENT

With your admin processes as you demystify:

  • Your documentation habits so you can write your notes efficiently and stay on top of them.

  • Client connection through learning how to assess, case plan and track progress.

  • Maintaining airtight records by learning how to tick all the boxes of the forms and best practices to ensure your files are complete and ethically sound.

With the dual therapist/business roles

  • Learn that good business and good therapy can work together

  • Develop the business owner habits that will help you manage the overwhelm of balancing therapy work and sustaining your practice.

  • Learn hacks to help you prioritize business growth without compromising your client work or your income.

Here’s My Story

I’m Alison Maratos

I’m a therapist who has worked in the community and in private practice over the span of my career. While I will never regret my decision to go into private practie full time, I still have days when I miss the stable income, the policies and guidelines and predictability of a job.

I decided to apply the skills I learned from agency work and learn from the mistakes of managing and growing my practice to develop systems and hacks that help me feel more in control of my administrative practices and running the business of my practice while maintaining happy clients. Don’t get me wrong. Some days are better than others, but now I have the tools to help me stress less and relax more at the end of a clinical day. I promise you, it IS possible to tick all of the boxes of pratice admin and biz without feeling overwhelmed and burnt out.

Here’s what your colleagues say about working with me…

"I have always had a strong vision about my future as a professional helper but felt overwhelmed by the thought of starting a private practice. After using Alison's tools, I was able to create a viable plan that left me feeling confident about my decision to pursue this lifelong dream. Alison was a phenomenal facilitator with broad knowledge, passion, and real-life examples that resonated with my values and goals. I look forward to continuing to work with her going forward."

-Jamie McIntyre, 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"
