The Build Your Practice Accelerator will help you get more clients and make more money with your private pay practice
Growing your private pay practice doesn't have to be frustrating
Is growing your practice going slower than you would like?
You’re not alone.
All of the therapists and coaches that I work with have gone as far as they can with what they know. They know they need another way, and that it likely has something to do with “marketing.”
And that's when things get complicated.
The mind drama that erupts in the minds of coaches and therapists when the word marketing is dropped is immediate and far reaching:
- “I’m not a salesly person.I feel gross trying to convince people to work with me.”
- “I’m not a writer, I don’t want a bunch of pictures of me all over the internet, and I don’t want to share what I had for dinner just to get clients.”
- “I didn’t go to school for business. I don’t know what I’m doing!”
- “I never wanted to be an entrepreneur.”
- “I’m way too overcommitted and exhausted already to learn something new right now.”
I HEAR YOU. I felt the same way.
And yet… look around.
Do you see all the people who are in pain? Do you see how little self-love, acceptance and compassion permeates our culture right now? Do you see how lonely people feel?And do you know whose job it is to do something about that?
YOURS.
Thusly, you arrive at your catch 22: Desiring to make a real difference in the world with your work, but terrified that you don’t have what it takes (and, secretly, you don’t WANT to have what it takes).
So, you turn to your old comfy standby: “it’s not ethical to market or sell,” throw up your hands at the state of the world, and return to that same old groove that isn’t working.
Gosh, that sounds terrible. Who would ever want to make the choice between doing important work while being inauthentic or being stuck in authentic obscurity?
Well, guess what?
That’s not the real choice- that’s your brain setting up an all-or-nothing scenario specifically to keep you stuck.
Welcome to your client’s side of the room.
This is a classic case of judging something harshly before you know what it is, so you can avoid experiencing the discomfort of growth.
In this case, the thing you are judging harshly before is YOU:
Specifically,
- You as an entrepreneur with a thriving practice.
- You with the confidence that you can get a client whenever you want one, with or without the Psychology Today algorithm on your side.
- You with big ideas, advocating for your people, and making a lot of money.
You think you have to be sleazy, exhausted, and living way outside your comfort zone to succeed like that.
But what I’m saying is that kind of sleazy, old school marketing IS NOT THE WAY.
Even if you gave it your all, it wouldn’t work for you!
Okay, Amanda, what will work?
Step 1: Stop playing at “I can help anyone with anything" and develop an authentic, passion infused practice.
Step 2: Align your voice in the world to that single, pulsing, passionate message. This involves shifting the way you talk about your work in the world, online, and in your materials
(Note, if you struggle to write copy, this is why!)
Step 3. Create and implement a streamlined and flexible marketing plan that leverages a vibrant community of partners invested in your success.
Step 4: Grow to love the business side of your practice as much as you love the work itself.
Right… and how do I do all that?
You can do it alone. I'll gladly provide you a few places to start from the dozens of books and courses I've taken and you can dive in, just like I did. Most marketing experts are focused on traditional persuasion marketing or on the online business mode, but you can find lots of good gems to try! I've learned to enjoy all of that learning and experimenting enormously, and maybe you will, too!
Or you can take the shortcut and get some help. This is recommended because I don't want you to wait 2 years to start making enough money to thrive.
The Build Your Practice Accelerator is designed to help you move through these steps quickly and entirely without drama. All for an investment aligned to getting roughly 1 new client.
Think of the Accelerator as your decoder ring, and me as your interpreter.
I think you’ll be surprised by what we can do together, and how natural and organic it will feel.
In fact, I think you’ll find it exhilarating! This work is about unleashing the passion you’ve been suppressing or ignoring or judging as “not enough” and then watching your own authentic passion accelerate your growth.
It’s going to be SO. MUCH. FUN!

What is it like to work with Amanda?
In the past, I was just throwing things against the wall to see what would stick. Now I depend on the Mastermind as my workshop & development team.
In the time since we’ve started, I’ve gained clients both 1-1 and for my workshops. Amanda’s methods deliver as promised. She’s no-nonsense and to the point. She’s an endless resource for, well... resources! I would definitely recommend joining Amanda’s next mastermind to anyone who really needs to turn their private practice into a legitimate, money-earner or just fill up their calendar and up-level their client reach
- Candice Harper, Lova Coach
I don’t believe that one can have a successful therapy practice without significant dedication and clinical skill but I know plenty of therapists who have these things and yet struggle to take their business where they want it to be.
That was me a year ago.
Thanks to Amanda, it's not any more. Working with Amanda transformed my practice into a vibrant and stable business that is well supported by a network of people whom I deeply respect.
Now, a year later, I have reached my every goal.
