From Counseling Graduate…

…to Private Practice

In 4 years months!

You are a brand new counseling grad, dreaming of having a practice of your own one day, but you don’t know how to begin…

This might be your experience:

You have worked really hard to get your masters in counseling (or similar degree)

You dream of having a private practice and working for yourself one day.

You feel lost and don’t know how to make sense of your states licensure requirements…

You are burned out from grad school, and dread starting a whole new difficult season….

You are contemplating agency/community mental health work, but hope there’s a better way…

You worry you aren’t smart or savvy enough to own a business…

You’ve been told you need experience before starting a private practice…

You’ve dreamed of working for yourself in private practice…

What if I told you its possible to start the career of your dreams NOW, without wasting years, money, and energy in the wrong job.

What if I told you you can work for yourself, seeing the clients that energize you!

The Moxy Mentor is here to guide you through the process, one baby step at a time!

Welcome to The Moxy Mentor

The 16 week career coaching program (the class you WISH you’d had in grad school!) that walks even the most timid grad from graduation to the private practice you’ve only dreamed of having.

The Moxy Mentor takes you one baby step at a time

Getting a license and starting a private practice doesn’t have to be overwhelming or scary. You don’t have to wait 5-10 years to start the career you’ve already worked so hard for!

Meet Landrie,

The Moxy Mentor!

Hi!

Im Landrie, a group practice owner turned career coach to new counseling grads.

I was once a new therapy grad stuck in a mental health job that was quickly burning me out. I was told I needed to “work in the trenches” to gain experience. I wasn’t sure I had the ability to do anything other than what I saw my peers doing: burning themselves out in agency and community mental health jobs they didn’t really want to be in.

Thankfully, a friend had moxy enough for the both of us and told me I was capable. I used her moxy till I had enough of my own and dared to dream bigger. I started my practice with 0 clients, and 0 knowledge! But with a a whole lot of moxy, I kept taking baby steps, until I found myself doing the vary thing I wasn’t sure I could ever do: running a successful practice with more clients than I knew what to do with.

My passion is to empower new therapists to start their dream careers NOW, and build a business that doesn’t lead to early burn out, but to a fulfilling business helping clients.

What We Do At The Moxy Mentor

Week-by-Week

Pre-Work: Get Ready

You’ll do some pre-work to help you make the most of your time and make this process as stress free as possible! I’ll help you identify areas of self doubt, external negative messaging, as well as your personal goals for the program.

Module One: Understanding License Requirements

You will gain clarity on the requirements of your specific state early on, so you know exactly what to do to get your license as quickly as possible. I will also give you my fool-proof organization strategy!

Module Two: Create Your Plan

You will gain clarity on what kind of private practice you want, define your “theory of counseling”, find your “right fit” supervisor that fits your budget, clinical goals, and personality. You will also create a plan based on your states unique requirements and unique financial needs (this will not look the same for everyone!)

Module Three: Define Your Expertise

I will help you narrow down you “niche”, meaning your ideal clients that “fill you up” (vs drain you!). You will learn how to communicate your expertise to other professionals and to clients.

Module Four: Business License & Name

You will name your business(!!) get your business license (!!), buy your domain, and create your “elevator speech”.

Module Five: Finances and Bookkeeping

Learn the EASY way to do your bookkeeping and track your finances for your business. I will help you get those tax breaks you will need to run a sustainable business.

Module Six: Tech Week

You will set up your email, business phone number, website domain, and EHR (electronic health record) software. For those who are overwhelmed by tech, this will be the SIMPLE step-by-step process you want!

Module Seven: Branding

Create your logo, choose your branding colors, take professional photos for your website and other advertising needs.

Module Eight: Building Your Website

Learn the time-saving steps to create your website, without spending hundreds of $$, but have something just as good!

Module Nine: Client Paperwork & Scripts

Prepare ethical and legal paperwork your clients will fill out when they become your client. Get the Moxy Mentor’s phone scripts and email templates.

Module Ten: Advertising

Create your advertising plan, perfect for both introvert and extroverts! Learn to advertise in your sleep (and for free). Learn creative ideas to establish yourself as an expert (but only if that sounds fun!).

Module Eleven: Launching!

Make your dream a reality by launching your very own Private Practice! Wrap up the odds and ends, know your next steps, and proudly know you are now a business owner!

This IS for you if:

  • You are full of self doubt, feel stuck, or overwhelmed (this program is designed for you!)

  • You know you want to work for yourself and have a private practice (you just don’t know how)

  • You want to start making money seeing 1:1 clients now

  • You want to fast track to the career you’ve already worked so hard to attain

  • You think you are capable of more, you just don’t know how to get there

  • You live in the state in which you plan to be licensed

  • You are ready to be licensed as an LPCA, LAC, LMFTA, PLPC, or similar license

This is NOT for you if:

  • You already have a private practice, or already have a clear idea of how to start one

  • You are looking for a self-paced program. This program requires your participation to get the most out of it.

  • You want to support someone else’s business, vs thrive in your own

  • You are looking for clinical supervision (I do not offer clinical advice)

  • You don’t care about doing things ethically and legally

  • You want to work with high acuity patients

  • You want to put off the career you’ve already worked so hard for

  • You already have business coach or mentor support
