I'm excited to welcome LA-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Halle Guidi to the podcast today!

Halle is joining us in the middle of her private practice journey, which is exactly why I wanted you to hear her story! She started building her practice on the side while working 40-55 hours a week at her full-time job. Halle went completely on her own in January and recently made the leap into full-time private practice.

Now? She’s approaching $10K months with a mostly private-pay caseload. Yep - ALL before officially launching her website or Instagram!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about achieving ~$10k months with no website or Instagram as a therapist.

In this episode, we cover:

Building a private practice while working a demanding full-time job
Developing strong clinical skills & genuine professional connections
Knowing when it’s finally time to make the leap into full-time private practice
Using financial & caseload goals to guide the transition
Building a mostly private-pay caseload without a website or Instagram
Turning authentic relationships into a strong referral network
Setting session fees that sustainably support your practice
Building confidence to take imperfect action + keep growing
