When I first started my private practice, my intake paperwork was… kind of an afterthought.
I threw together some forms, copied what I saw other therapists doing, and figured I’d refine things as I went.
Spoiler: That led to a lot of frustration.
Clients ghosted, boundaries got blurred, and I wasted way too much time fixing things I could’ve just set up correctly from the start.
So I made five small but mighty changes—and suddenly, my practice ran so much smoother:
✅ Asking if I can send a thank-you note → Builds my referral network effortlessly
✅ Structuring my intake questions → No more forgetting key details
✅ Adding a ‘No Secrets’ Policy → Avoids tricky ethical dilemmas later
✅ Setting crystal-clear cancellation & fee policies → No more awkward convos
✅ Collecting credit card info upfront → Fewer no-shows, no chasing payments
It’s wild how much easier things get when you have the right systems in place from day one.

✨ Doors are officially OPEN to Pre-Licensed in Practice ✨
www.theprivatepracticepro.com/pre-licensed
When I was pre-licensed, I thought private practice was something “future me” would figure out after more years, more burnout, more waiting.
But the truth is—you don’t have to wait until you’re licensed to start preparing.
That’s why I created Pre-Licensed in Practice, a self-paced course that walks you step-by-step through the foundation you’ll need for your future practice, all while you’re still under supervision.
To make this launch as accessible as possible, the first 100 people to join this week get over 50% off with the code GOFORIT.
If private practice is your dream, I want you to know:
❤️ You’re not behind
❤️ You’re not “too early”
❤️ And you don’t need a perfect plan to begin
This is the course I wish I had when I was in your shoes.

I used to freeze when someone asked about my rate.
Now? I pause, breathe, and say it with kindness and clarity.
Because I know what I bring to the room—and I want my clients to feel that too.

I thought getting licensed would bring confidence. Instead, I still felt unsure.
Still googled everything. Still triple-checked my notes.
Confidence didn’t show up overnight. It showed up with time in the chair.

Thinking about launching a part-time private practice?
Before you open your (metaphorical) doors, make sure you’ve done these three things first. They’re simple, but they’ll save you a ton of stress later on.

And if you’re already part-time, let me know in the comments what helped you most when you started!

New video alert → “Why I Left My $140K Job To Start My Own Practice!”
I talk about the exact moment I knew I couldn’t stay and what helped me make the leap into private practice (even when it felt risky).
This story is close to my heart. And if you’re on the fence about taking that next step? I hope it helps.
