BUSINESS COACHING FOR THERAPISTS TRUSTED BY THOUSANDS WORLDWIDE
It’s Time to Flip the Script and Go From Tired, Burned Out and Barely Scraping By to …
Successful, Thriving, and Profitable!
(That’s right… you don’t have to sacrifice your sleep, sanity, and social life to be a booked solid therapist!)
Here’s the thing …
You became a therapist to make a difference.
But somewhere along the way … the long hours started eroding your passion.
It can feel impossible to see the light at the end of a very long tunnel, no matter the stage of practice you are in!
The endless hustling for clients drains you. The back-to-back sessions leave you depleted. The always-packed calendar robs time from your relationships.
Not to mention the paltry paychecks despite your advanced degrees, dedication, and student loans. You feel like you’ve plateaued financially, and that “next level” never seems to come. Your nervous system is fried yet there's always another crisis to solve.
You find yourself dreaming about a new career — questioning whether you're cut out for this business owner thing at all. And when you aren’t overwhelmed, you’re staring at imposter syndrome in the face — scared to make the wrong call yet also terrified to ask for help and appear weak or incompetent.
Does this sound painfully familiar?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Thousands of therapists like you felt the same way. Until they discovered another way …
A way where you:
● Work reasonable hours while earning more than you dreamed possible
● Only work with perfect-for-you clients who energize and inspire you
● Hire the right team to support you and your sustainable practice
● Have reliable systems for lead generation and booking
● Confidently raise your rates while filling your practice
● Feel good about delegating tasks that drain you
● Have clarity on the direction of your business
● Enjoy flexibility and freedom in your schedule
A way where most importantly … you feel hopeful and empowered about reaching your goals. On your terms.

“Wait … what’s zynnyme or better still … who’s zynnyme?”
Hey there! We’re Kelly Higdon and Miranda Palmer were therapists first and business coaches for therapists second. Together with a team of talented coaches for therapists … we’re zynnyme!
We’ve been exactly where you’re at right now. In fact, way back in 2009 Kelly hired Miranda to dig her out of overwhelm and burnout!
Together, we've endured recessions, licensing snafus, imposter syndrome, and yes … even mistakes and missteps (hello, not understanding how taxes worked in Kelly’s first year of practice!)
Now, we've combined our superpowers — Miranda's tech prowess and Kelly's operational wizardry together with our deep sense of clinical integrity — into running zynnyme and helping tens of THOUSANDS of therapists like YOU build profitable businesses. On your terms! Providing private practice coaching, business coaching, and training for therapists.

Did you know we’ve written the book on therapist burnout recovery?!
Burnout is the norm for the therapist industry. Let’s change that together!
Our much-loved book shows you how to recover from burnout, reignite your love and energy for your work (no bubble baths needed!), and create a joyful, thriving practice that truly helps your community.
“Kelly and Miranda truly care about the health, well-being, and success of clinicians seeking to build a sustainable private practice.
This book is a practical guide that offers an easy-to-follow step-by-step plan to understand and recover from burnout while also creating a private practice that serves not only your clients but also you as both a business owner and a human being!” - Christy Garcia
Not-so-fun fact: Therapists are the world’s worst paid graduate degree.
But it doesn’t have to be so!
You don’t have to settle for the low-pay, long-hours life.
Building a sustainable, profitable solo or group practice isn’t overwhelming or exhausting!
Not when you have a step-by-step, therapist-tested process, community, and support to guide you so you can finally have a practice that lights you up instead of burning you out!
What people are saying about our business coaching for therapists:
Bootcamp increased my confidence as a business owner, increased my hourly rate, helped me get clarity on my ideal clients, gave me a clear roadmap for what I need to do to have the life and business I want, and helped me hit my first 5 figure month.
Danielle
BSB
Before zynnyme I was an introvert and immigrant working in community mental health slowly burning out. I was sick literally every month and my doctor threatened to put me on medical leave. I enrolled in Bootcamp within the first year of starting my private practice. I've shifted from barely seeing 2 clients a week to the phone ringing nonstop.
Ibinye
BSB
In the past two weeks I've accomplished more to face my fears and solve my business problems than I had dared to do in the previous six months. The quality of the support and the depth of knowledge Kelly & Miranda bring is just amazing.
Jamey
BSB
The service you've provided is a Must-Have for all therapists. It should be included in all counseling or social work graduate school programs. I've learned critical information with this community to improve my processes and success!
Debra
Masterclass
I've been wanting to reach out to say thank you for helping me turn a huge corner in my business!! Having Bootcamp to fall back on, my business really took off! Thank you again, and I hope this message finds you and your family well and living your best lives. You made a difference in mine!
Krista
BSB
I feel like I have completely changed the way I look at my business. I have a better idea of how to handle the financial aspect of my business, I have dropped most of the insurance panels, quit working with that agency, reduced my overhead significantly and have better control over my personal life. This has been the best money I have spent so far in my business.
Karen
BSB
I met a therapist at a kid's birthday party that mentioned she would like to go into private practice. I told her I could connect her to some cool resources when she was ready. My husband butts in with "Business School Bootcamp for Therapists! You have to do Bootcamp. It's been the best thing ever. I was doubtful about Becca spending that much money on something she hadn't even started yet, but it's been SO worth it. I'm amazed by her growth. Do Bootcamp!"
Rebecca
BSB
BSB has been central in helping me to establish and grow a successful and rewarding couples/relationship private practice. Kelly and Miranda are experts in their field and have great integrity. Best money I have ever spent on my business.
Sally in the UK
BSB
Bootcamp allowed me to create the business of my dreams, without having to sell out. I'm in alignment with my values and feel proud of how my practice functions. I wouldn't change a thing about it. I don't feel overworked, I can afford to invest in training, I work with my best-fit clients, and I feel like the best therapist I can be, which is really what it's all about! If you're the type who is going to obsess over your practice and are ready to do a ton of work on it - BSB is a great investment because it will give you a roadmap.
Sara
BSB
BSB has improved my quality of life in many ways. In fact, it opened me up to new possibilities in such a way that even my own personal therapy took a turn for the better halfway through the school. I have a new and broader vision and I am now creating multiple streams of income in complementary ways to my practice. BSB has been an eye-opener.
Dana
BSB
“Bootcamp” was the best investment I have made in myself. I went from working 45-50 hours per week to working 25 hrs, doubling my income, and impacting other therapists in my office. The time freedom created has been the best gift of all!
Cyndi
BSB
I was down and out, literally flat on my back, down for the count when the voices of Kelly and Miranda came through the dark in some free webinar beacon that the Universe sent me. I am still in recovery, I am learning a lot about work-life balance and how important and world-changing it is for me to sustain myself, especially as a queer, gender non-conforming, and native person. I have had my first 5-figure months, doing work with clients who are a perfect match for me thanks to all of my work in Bootcamp.
Marca
BSB
With BSB, I built a practice that clinically, practically, and operationally suits me so that I can work from my sweet spot as my default, rather than HOPING and WAITING for it to happen every once in a while by chance.
Joanne
BSB
The program has assisted with changing my mindset about private practice and how to evolve as a business owner. I am excited for the new year ahead but using the skills and knowledge from the past to propel me forward. Thank you!
Djuan
BSB
Kelly and Miranda have helped me with many things over the years, from choosing my first EHR to venturing into online courses and programs. They are passionate, fun and fantastic supporters of the therapist community!
Uriah
BSB
I changed my client focus, was interviewed for Selling the Couch, got my first therapist branding/business consulting client, was quoted in Men's Health print magazine, met a major yearly revenue milestone, had my most profitable month ever, celebrated an awesome year, and am launching my very own podcast!
