80 Grow Your Private Practice: Proven Strategies from Dr. Kate Walker and Joseline Aguilar, LPC

Texas Counselors Creating Badass Businesses

Navigating the leap from structured agency work to the exhilarating world of private practice can feel like a tightrope walk over ethical quandaries and financial uncertainties. Jocelyn Aguilar joins me on a journey that traverses these high stakes, sharing her unique perspective as a pioneer in online counseling for Christian women confronting anxiety. Together, we confront the hard-hitting questions every mental health entrepreneur faces: How do you build a practice that balances the books without compromising on care? Can you truly marry income with integrity? Our conversation is a treasure trove of insights for those ready to find out.
What does it mean to keep your financial engines running while charting a course through the choppy waters of private practice? In a profession where time is your currency, we dissect the concept of passive income, cutting through the noise to bring you actionable strategies, like office space rentals, that complement your primary business. I open up about my experiences, from the incremental growth of early mornings to the calculated risks of side hustles, offering a compass to therapists who are steering their businesses towards sustainable shores. Let's decode the dilemmas of time management and income diversification.
Finally, the episode shifts gears, focusing on the roadmap for growth and strategic planning essential to any business venture. Whether it's the cautious calibration of financial milestones or the ethical considerations during practice expansion, we're revealing the nuts and bolts of what it takes to thrive. I extend a special thanks to Ridgely Walker for her contributions, and spotlight resources for those looking to rise to the role of supervisor. Tune in and join our community of Texas counselors dedicated to crafting not just businesses, but legacies within the mental health field.
