Many therapists feel lost…don’t know what they “should” do next or want to do when it comes to starting a private practice. We don’t take business classes in our graduate counseling programs and therefore many therapists don’t know the first thing about how to start or even run a successful business. There is no need to go through this process alone! A coach can help guide and support you in the process, assisting you to maneuver past potential pitfalls, avoid the trials and errors that come with starting a new business and limit costly mistakes. Why do it alone?
Lemecia loves helping therapists learn and grow! This includes supporting therapists on their journey as a solo private practice business owner and group practice owners. She helps therapist to listen to their instinct and intuition when it comes to building their dream practice. Lemecia supports therapists through the inevitable “ups and downs” of owning a business and encourages them to not give up! With her mental health background she can help therapists identify and get unstuck from self doubt or “imposter syndrome.” She assists therapists to develop “bite sized” action steps to work towards their goals and helps them change what was once hard to what is now “super easy.” Lemecia believes in the importance of creating a business that supports one’s life rather than a life that supports a business. She believes in the value of maintaining work life balance along the way and prevent the burnout that has become so prevalent in this field.
Lemecia brings her experience of owning a small business in her early 20’s as well as running and maintaining a thriving clinical practice for the last 15 years. Lemecia understands the many work environments that therapists come from. She has worked in a variety of mental health settings before entering private practice including: Community Mental Health, Private Non Profit Organizations and Schools. In addition she has worked as a Clinic Coordinator, Clinical Supervisor and Mental Health Team Lead for a wellness practice for over two years.
Over the last 15 years Lemecia has worn many hats in her various roles as a therapist and business owner including: marketing, content writer, Human Resources, management, research, design, vision work and finance. She brings her wealth of experience and all that she has learned to her coaching clients.
