Private Practice Startup Services
Consultation vs. Intensive: Which One Is Right for You?
The difference in pricing between the Private Practice Startup Consultation and the Private Practice Startup
Intensive is based on transformation, access, personalization, and outcomes — not simply the amount of time
spent.
Private Practice Startup Consultation
Private Practice Startup Intensive
One-time strategy session
Comprehensive implementation experience
Answers specific questions
Creates a customized roadmap
Guidance and recommendations
Guidance plus hands-on planning and accountability
Ideal for solving a problem
Ideal for launching a practice with confidence
Limited follow-up
Includes resources, templates, action plans, and 2 weeks of
follow-up email support
Private Practice Startup Consultation — $150
Perfect for clinicians who need expert guidance on one or two specific challenges. During this focused
consultation, we'll discuss your questions, explore options, and identify practical next steps so you can move
forward with greater confidence.
Format: 50-minute session (video).
Best for:
•Choosing a business structure
•Insurance panel questions
•Marketing strategy
•Setting fees
•Reviewing your startup plan
•Troubleshooting obstacles
Not the right fit if: you're starting from scratch and want a full, personalized roadmap rather than answers to a few
specific questions — the Intensive is built for that.
Private Practice Startup Intensive — $300
The Intensive is designed for clinicians who want more than advice — they want a personalized blueprint for
building a successful private practice. Rather than simply answering questions, we'll work together to develop a
customized strategy based on your goals, timeline, niche, finances, and vision. You'll leave with a clear action
plan, resources, templates, and the confidence to implement each step.
Format: 2-hour session, plus 2 weeks of email support afterward to help you implement your action plan.Ideal if you're serious about launching your practice and want to avoid costly mistakes, save months of trial and
error, and accelerate your progress.
Why the Price Difference
The Intensive isn't priced for more of my time — it's priced for a different outcome. The Consultation answers
your questions. The Intensive builds your business: a customized roadmap based on your goals, timeline, niche,
and finances, backed by templates, resources, and an action plan you can start using immediately.
With my background as a Maryland Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor and years of experience helping
clinicians establish successful private practices, the Intensive gives you access to accumulated expertise, proven
systems, and practical resources — not just my time. That positioning shifts the focus from paying for hours to
investing in a structured process that helps you reach your goals more efficiently.

As clinicians, we are trained to recognize burnout, compassion fatigue, and the importance of self-care in others.
But how often do we intentionally care for ourselves?
Healing Escapes invites licensed mental health professionals to join us for Heal the Healer, a five-day luxury wellness retreat in Jamaica.
This retreat is intentionally designed for therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and other helping professionals who want to step away from the demands of daily practice, reconnect with themselves, and return to their work feeling renewed.
Participants will experience: ✔ 3 CEUs ✔ Reflective clinical discussions ✔ Wellness workshops ✔ Mindfulness and experiential practices ✔ Yoga, massage, and luxury accommodations ✔ Time to rest, recharge, and reconnect
October 8–12, 2026
Because caring for yourself isn't a luxury—it's an essential part of caring well for others.

Every clinician deserves a consultation community.
Private practice can be rewarding—but it can also be professionally isolating.

Our discussions extend beyond case conceptualization to include topics such as:
This is a collaborative consultation group where clinicians are encouraged to think critically, share ideas openly, and learn from one another in a respectful, confidential environment.
