Are You a Therapist  Who Feels Burned Out Running Your Practice?

Therapists and coaches are different from any other profession. We dedicate years we can never get back to helping people become better versions of themselves. 

Most people only realize our true impact years later.

This is not a job, it's a calling. 

However, many of us have gotten lost along the way. And, more importantly, we’ve lost ourselves. 

If you’re like me, you spent the first few years focusing on getting new clients. After getting a reasonably full schedule, a new problem arises. 

How Do You Have A Balanced Life Now That You Have A Busy Practice?

You probably idealized working with clients to the point that you never considered the emotional drain that a full-time practice entails (the way most people do it anyway).

Your phone won't stop ringing, you're never caught up on your case notes, and not to mention the emotional drain from doing all the sessions. Some of them with clients you wish you never enrolled in the first place. 

Then there are the business tasks that no one ever mentions when you start, like ensuring all your clients pay you like they are supposed to. Fun stuff! 

When you finish one job, a new job is waiting for you. The work never stops!

Everyone wants your attention and energy, but you have nothing else to give.

How did this calling become a form of self-sacrifice? 

The Real Reason Therapists Feel Burned Out...

There's a dirty little secret about running a practice I found out way too late. Providing a one on one service like therapy has a built in factor that leads to burn out. 

No matter how good of a therapist you are, 20% of the clients who book their first session won't return for a second session. And...because of client cancellations you will likely overbook yourself by at least 15% just to make a consistent income.

This explains why... 

My Most Profitable Months Were Also My Most Stressful 

In fact, I started to associate doing well with stress. Not good. So it's not your fault this is happening. This is the status quo and it leads to many therapists quitting private practice and in some cases, the whole therapy profession.

How do I know all this? 

I Discovered First Hand More Clients Didn’t Solve All My Problems! 

As a hypnotherapist and coach, I used to long for more clients. In the early years, Sean, my business partner (pictured above), and I spent most of our time getting more clients.

Then we finally “made it" in 2019.

We went from earning $1500 a month to a business regularly grossing over six figures per year, and suddenly, I realized… 

Money didn’t solve all my problems; it created new ones. 

For the first time, I could literally work 24/7 on administrative tasks, sessions, marketing etc. Oh and I did. Many nights I went home at 10pm only to find my girlfriend at that time already asleep.

Being empathetic came naturally to me, but setting boundaries didn’t. As a result, once I had some success, my battery was constantly drained. 

I woke up one day and realized…

My Clients And Practice Had Taken Over My Life.

I was forced to rediscover my values and find authentic ways to do my best work or find a new career. 

In a way…I did both. 

I redefined what I did for a living and how I did it.

I Help Therapists and Coaches Transform Their Draining Businesses Into Profitable, Low-Stress, And Fulfilling Ones 

I have been helping coaches and therapists rediscover themselves (and their values) and align their businesses/lives with those values for five years now. 

This is not about “getting more clients.”

This means transforming a business that drains you (the status quo) into a fulfilling, profitable, and energizing business.
