Pathway to Private Practice
Congratulations on your decision to start your Private Practice!
You are well on your way toward helping others make lasting positive change in their lives.
According to the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, virtually all the mental health professional fields have a positive job outlook in the upcoming decade. Here at Coastal Practice Consultants , we are focused on helping clinicians start, scale, or streamline their practices. We spent 20 years developing our practices from the ground up with little to no budget, support, or business background.
We have learned a lot in these 20 years through taking risks, exploring new ideas, connecting with specialists, tons of reading and research and probably most important, making lots of mistakes! Our goal is to teach clinicians the tips, tools, and strategies to get their dream practices up and running in 3 to 6 months through our Jumpstart Packages. We want to save you time and money so you can focus on what you do best – counseling!
Although mental health professionals are often expanding their clinical knowledge and skills, we have learned over the years that most clinicians lack business, finance, or marketing skills. This has now become the foundation of our consulting work.
We offer several different consulting/coaching programs tailored to meet the individual needs of the clinicians we work with. A few options are outlined below:
Private Practice Building: 3 – 6 Month Programs
** These packages are for fully licensed clinicians with 3+ years experience in the mental health field. (i.e. Licensed Psychologists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, etc)**
**If you are a limited permit holder looking for employment, clinical supervision, or career coaching/mentoring – please see our Career Jumpstart Program.
All programs prioritize accountability, quick action, and help you stay focused on professional goals. In addition to working on professional goals, we always include attention to self care and personal growth. Growing professionally must always align with personal growth and self care as well.
