I’ve spent the past 2 years building my own practice and learning what it takes to grow.

Now I help therapists with websites, Psychology Today, online presence, referrals & practice strategy.

Starting a private practice sounds simple… until you realize how much there is to figure out beyond the therapy itself.

Here are a few things I’d want you to think through:

1. “Where are my clients coming from?”
Start thinking about referrals, your professional network, your website, Psychology Today, and how people will actually find you before you open your doors.

2. “Am I charging enough?”
Look at your expenses, the income you need, your expected client load, and whether you’re taking insurance, private pay, or both. Your session rate needs to make sense for the business you’re trying to build.

3. “Do I take insurance?”
There isn’t one answer for everyone. Think about your ideal clients, reimbursement, administrative work, and the kind of practice you want to run.

4. “How do I get referrals?”
Start building relationships before you need a full caseload. Think about other therapists, physicians, community organizations, schools, and other professionals who already work with the people you want to serve.

5. “Wait… I have to run the business too?”
Yep. There’s the clinical side, and then there’s everything behind it: business setup, finances, credentialing, billing, systems, marketing, client communication, and more.

You don’t need to become a business expert overnight.

But you do need to understand what you’re getting into and have a plan for the pieces that will actually keep your practice running.

Save this if private practice is on your mind and send it to the therapist who’s been saying, “I really want to do this, but I don’t know where to start.”

What are you trying to figure out right now: clients, money, insurance, or getting the practice set up?

Why would I teach other therapists how to build a private practice when they could become my competition?

I get asked this a lot.

I remember what it was like to want my own practice but have no idea how to actually build one. How do I get clients? How do I build referrals? What do I need to set up? How do I run the business side while still being a therapist?

And I’ve heard the same thing from so many clinicians:

“I would start my own practice, but I don’t know where to start.”

I get it.

I started Fallen Timbers with two clinicians. Two years later, we’ve grown to 10 clinicians and interns.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way. I’ve spent way too much time figuring things out the hard way. I’ve had the headaches, the bumps, the bruises, and definitely a few “what am I doing?” moments.

But that’s exactly why I want to help other therapists build their own practices.

I’m not trying to help you build my private practice. I’m trying to help you build yours.

If starting your own private practice has been on your mind, tell me what part feels the hardest right now. I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Want your own private practice? Start here.

I remember how quickly the excitement of starting a practice can turn into a long list of questions.

What should I charge?
Can I afford to leave my current job?
Do I take insurance or private pay?
Where are my clients going to come from?
Do I need a website? Psychology Today? Both?
What do I actually need to set up before I start?
And then you hear things like EIN, NPI, CAQH, credentialing, EHR… and suddenly it feels like there’s a whole business you were never taught how to build.

You already know how to be a therapist.

Running the practice is a different skill set.

And you don’t need to figure out every part of it before you begin. You do need to know what you’re building, what the numbers need to look like, how you’re going to get clients, and what needs to happen next.

That’s a big part of what I’ve learned from building my own practice.

Save this if starting your own private practice is something you’re seriously thinking about.

Private practice gets a lot less stressful when you stop guessing.

One of the hardest parts of starting a private practice is realizing just how many decisions you suddenly have to make.

What should I charge?

Should I take insurance or private pay?

How many clients do I actually need each week?

How much do I need to make each month?

Where are my referrals going to come from?

What do I need to do before I leave my current practice?

And honestly, when you don’t have anyone to help you work through those questions, it can feel like you’re just making your best guess and hoping it works out.

I remember how much there was to figure out when I started my own practice.

You can be confident in your clinical skills and still feel completely unsure about the business side of private practice.

That’s why I believe having a plan matters so much.

You don’t need to have every detail figured out before you start. But you do need to understand what you’re building, what your numbers look like, how you’re going to bring in clients, and what needs to happen before you take that next step.

Guessing is stressful. Planning is where it’s at.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice, what’s the part you’re most unsure about right now?

08/18/2026

Can I be honest?

I’ve seen way too many clinicians stay in practices they’ve outgrown because starting a private practice feels so overwhelming.

They know they want more freedom.
They want more say in their schedule.
They want to work with the clients they actually want to work with.

But then the questions start:

How do I get clients?
Should I take insurance or private pay?
How do I get credentialed?
What do I need to set up first?
What if I leave and my caseload doesn’t fill?

I remember having so many of those questions when I started my own private practice.

And honestly, I wish I had someone I could call and ask, “Okay… what would you do?”

You don’t need another clinical training to start your private practice. You need to understand the business side, have a plan, and know what to work on next.

That’s a big part of why I created the Private Practice Launch Lab. I want therapists who are thinking about going out on their own to have the support and roadmap I wish I had when I was starting.

If starting your own private practice has been on your mind, you don’t have to have it all figured out yet.

You just need to start somewhere. 💜

The Private Practice Launch Lab starts August 25.

One of the biggest mistakes I see therapists make when they’re thinking about private practice is figuring out the business side after they’ve already made the decision to leave.

You don’t need every number figured out perfectly, but you should have a starting point.

Save this if private practice is on your mind.

This is the part of private practice I don’t think we talk about enough.

Having more say over your schedule.

Being able to take a Friday morning for yourself.

Seeing a client, getting your hair done, and going to play golf later without having to ask someone else if your schedule allows it.

For me, starting a private practice was about more than building a business. I wanted to build a way of working that actually fit my life.

And I know that kind of freedom is one of the reasons so many therapists start thinking about private practice in the first place.

The hard part?

Figuring out how to actually build it.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice but keep getting stuck on where to begin, I created the Private Practice Launch Lab to help with exactly that.

We start August 25. 💜

You can build a practice that works for your life.

📌 If you’ve been thinking about starting your own private practice, but keep getting stuck on the “okay… but how do I actually do this?” part, this is for you.

Maybe you’re still working for someone else and wondering if you’re ready to make the jump.

Maybe you’ve already decided you want your own practice, but the business side feels overwhelming.

Or maybe you already opened your doors and now you’re realizing there are a lot of things you never had to think about as a clinician!

EIN. NPI. CAQH. Credentialing. Insurance vs. private pay. Rates. Budget. EHR. Website. Psychology Today. Referrals. Marketing.

And, of course, actually getting clients.

Where are you even supposed to start?

That’s exactly why I created the Private Practice Launch Lab.

Over 8 weeks, I’ll walk you through the business side of building a private practice, one piece at a time.

We’ll work through the things you need to think about before you launch, as you launch, and as you start growing!

From setting up the business and figuring out your numbers to credentialing, getting visible, building referrals, creating a strong client experience, and planning for growth.

You’ll have a workbook each week to help you actually work through the material for your practice, plus our live group sessions where we can talk through questions and decisions together.

And if you’re thinking, “I’m not even sure what kind of practice I want yet,” that’s okay too.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you start.

The Launch Lab starts August 25 and is limited to 12 therapists.

💜 8 weeks
💜 Live group mentorship
💜 Weekly workbooks
💜 Additional session recordings
💜 $50 per weekly session

If private practice has been on your mind, but you’ve been waiting for someone to show you where to start, this is for you.

Nobody became a therapist because they were excited about spreadsheets.

But if you’re building a private practice, understanding your numbers matters.

How much do you actually need to make each month?
What are your expenses?
How many clients do you realistically want on your caseload?
What does your practice need to bring in for it to work for your life?

These are the kinds of questions that can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to figure out private practice on your own.

That’s one of the things we’ll work through inside Amanda’s Private Practice Launch Lab.

For 8 weeks, we’ll work through the business side of building a private practice together, with a live group session and a workbook each week so you can actually apply what we’re talking about to your own practice.

If you’re thinking about starting a private practice, preparing to leave your current practice, or already opened your doors and aren’t sure what to focus on next, this is for you.

We start August 25. 💜

Two years ago, I was sitting with a decision that felt both exciting and terrifying: I was going to build my own private practice.

I had been working in a setting where I knew I wanted something different.

I wanted more freedom in how I practiced. I wanted to have more say in the kind of clients I worked with, how I structured my time, and what my day-to-day life as a therapist looked like.

But more than anything, I wanted to build a practice that actually felt like me.

A place where clients could feel supported and cared for, but also a place where clinicians could feel supported, valued, and have room to grow.

Of course, knowing what I wanted didn't mean I knew exactly how to build it.

I had so many questions.

How do I get clients?
How do I build referral relationships?
What systems do I need?
What should I prioritize first?
How do I actually run the business side of a private practice while still being the therapist I want to be?

And there were plenty of moments when I wished I had someone I could call and simply ask, “What would you do?”

So I started.

It was just me in the beginning.

And over the past two years, I've learned so much by actually building and growing a private practice. Today, FTHS has grown into a team of 11 clinicians and interns, and I still see clients myself.

When I look at these photos, I don't just see an office.

I see something that started as an idea and slowly became a real practice.

A practice where clients can grow, clinicians can grow, and where the environment reflects the kind of care and work I believe in.

I definitely didn't have everything figured out when I started. There were things I learned along the way, things I had to figure out through experience, and plenty of moments where I thought, “Okay... what's next?”

But that's also why I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you're a therapist thinking about starting your own private practice.

You can know you're ready for something different and still have no idea where to begin.

You can be confident in your clinical skills and still feel completely unsure about the business side.

And you can have the vision for the practice you want without having a roadmap for how to get there.

I remember what it felt like to have the dream before I had the roadmap.

That's a big part of why I care so much about helping other therapists build practices of their own.
