In January we launched the first ever magazine of its kind. One that is focused completely on counselors in private practice. We had great articles from Cupla Media, Alison Pidgeon, and an exclusive interview with ZynnyMe’s consultant, Kelly Higdon.
Get the magazine now!
As well, we launched the videos for Slow Down School. It’s a three-part video series that teaches:
- Why it is essential to slow down to spark innovation
- The seven-step process for setting/achieving/outsourcing any goal
- The one big thing you can do this year to grow your practice.

Consulting: (this sometimes includes building a website as part of the private practice coach session) I do private practice coaching. Usually there are three parts to private practice consulting:

- I’m also growing my Consultant-to-Consultants side of my consulting (say that 10x fast!)
- Project management software and call recording
- This includes some speaking and events
