Building a Counseling Practice: Real Life Stories Katie, LMHC

ProfilesTherapist StoriesPodcastStarting a Private Practice
Written By Miranda Palmer

Meet Katie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, WA. I have so much gratitude that we were able to sit down together and talk through her great story of becoming a therapist. You can learn more about her work with clients and other healers at http://katiegurwell.com/

I love how her story shares that thoughtful, introverted people can be successful in private practice. I also appreciate her transparency about the perils of not having support when building a private practice. 

Feeling inspired? Write down what you want to take away from this story and integrate into your own life. Looking for a little support?

I have successfully built a cash pay psychotherapy practice from scratch on a shoestring budget. I have also failed a licensed exam by 1 point (only to have the licensing board send me a later months later saying I passed), started an online study group to ease my own isolation and have now reached thousands of therapists across the country, helped other therapists market their psychotherapy practices, and helped awesome business owners move from close to closing their doors, to being profitable in less than 6 weeks. I've failed at launching online programs. I've had wild success at launching online programs. I've made mistakes in private practice I've taught others how to avoid my mistakes. You can do this. You were called to this work. Now- go do it! Find some help or inspiration as you need it- but do the work!
