Consultation for Grad Students & Therapists

If you’re wondering how to make this career actually sustainable for you, you’re in the right place!


I know what it’s like to try to figure out the best path for yourself with grad school, internships, first jobs, and in creating a private practice. This is the stuff they don’t teach you in grad school.

Consultation is a place for you to ask your questions, get answers, & have next steps for you to take.

Grad Students & Those considering

I know I didn’t know what exactly to look for when choosing a grad program. I definitely didn’t have much insight into what working in the field was actually like. And when I was preparing to graduate, I didn’t have a ton of understanding from my program on all the options I could actually pursue (e.g. private practice).

I’m hoping to provide what I would have loved to have.

In our consultations, we can discuss things like:

  • Different types of graduate programs & considerations

  • Licensing processes (*varies by state and license type)

  • Career options (& especially the options they don’t tell you about; i.e. private practice)

  • Interviewing & how to find jobs (I interviewed with at least a handful of private practices, various PHP/IOP programs)

  • Income & costs (What can I expect to make? Costs of private practice?)

  • Burnout & life considerations (How do I have a career in this work that is sustainable for me? Does that even exist?)

New & Current Therapists

The world of therapy jobs can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re pre-licensed, or have been in the field for a minute, this can be for you. You might have questions like:

  • What can I do without my full clinical license?

  • What should I look for in a supervisor/supervision space?

  • How do I get into working in a group private practice ?

  • What is working in Higher Level of Care (HLOC) like?

  • What should I be advocating for myself on? (e.g. pay, benefits, clinical growth opportunities, etc)

  • How do you approach opening your own private practice?

  • How do I fill my caseload in group or solo private practice?

  • How do I identify and communicate a niche?

  • How do I make my marketing more effective?

I’m happy to go through all the questions you might have in trying to set yourself up best in this field. People can find it helpful to come in prepared with their long list of questions so we can jump right in!
