Private Practice & Business Consulting

Starting or growing a private practice is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. From navigating the business side of therapy to figuring out how to attract the right clients, there are a lot of moving parts that grad school didn’t prepare you for. That’s where private practice consulting comes in.

ERA offers consulting for therapists who want to build, refine, or expand their own private practice. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a solo practice, creating a thriving group practice, or looking for ways to streamline your systems and reduce burnout, we can help you design a business that works for you.

Private practice consulting services are designed for therapists at different stages of the journey, including:

Starting A New Practice

Therapists launching a solo practice who want guidance on the logistics—like choosing a business structure, setting up systems, marketing, and creating a sustainable fee structure.

Realigning Your Current Practice

Clinicians already in private practice who feel stuck or want support in refining their brand, filling their caseload, or improving their workflow.

Expanding to A Group Practice

Practice owners building a group practice who need help with leadership, hiring, onboarding, and creating a positive team culture.

And any practice owner who wants to avoid burnout and create a practice that supports their life outside the therapy room.

Consulting sessions are tailored to your goals, but common topics include:

  • Business setup and organization

  • Marketing strategies that feel authentic (not salesy)

  • Branding and creating a niche

  • Building a referral network

  • Policies, paperwork, and compliance basics

  • Fee setting and financial planning

  • Hiring, onboading, and managing a team

  • Workflows, systems, and technology that make your life easier

  • Balancing being a clinician with being a business owner

You’ll get actionable steps, honest feedback, and practical advice from someone who has built and managed a thriving private practice.
