Confident Private Practice
We help mental health therapy group practice owners grow their businesses, reduce their stress, stop wasting time & money and become financially stable
Watch this brief introduction video to learn how we can help your therapy practice grow.
My name is Emily Ferguson, and I’m the founder of Confident Private Practice. I have been deeply involved in the therapy world in many capacities: an intake coordinator, a operations manager, a business coach and a client. You’re an amazing therapist: you care deeply about your clients, you do good work in the therapy office, and you’d like your blood pressure and wallet to reflect the hard work you’ve put in. I would be honored if you would allow me to take the stress of running the business side of your practice off your shoulders. Let me handle that mental load, so you can do what you do best- be a therapist! That’s good for you and good for your clients.

~Psychologist, Owner of Private Practice with 9 Therapists
“I am really pleased with the work Emily did to boost the operations of my small NYC based group practice. I found her to be incredibly organized, collaborative, proactive and she's a determined problem solver. Emily implemented a more structured intake process for my group, she assisted me with website construction, SEO and content, she recruited and helped onboard new therapists for my team and often offered suggestions to help the practice run more smoothly. I enjoyed working with Emily. I'm sure I'll seek her operations expertise again soon.”

Business Help for Therapists
Business Help for Therapists
Therapists tell us that their Master’s program didn’t prepare them for running a therapy private practice.
And we figure you went to school to be a therapist to… be a therapist, not a business major.
Whether you’re also an entrepreneur at heart or you’d just like to be able to go on vacation and have your business still make money, you probably don’t want to know ALL the ins and outs of running the business side of your private practice.
Sure, you can (and should) hire an accountant, lawyer and web designer, but who is going to get down and dirty in the details of the day to day running of your therapy private practice business, and take tasks off your plate that are distracting you from being the best therapist you can be?
That’s what we do!
We offer much more than a mental health virtual assistant or therapist’s helper. We provide therapists tools, business coaching, and therapy practice solutions for building your private practice from the ground up, with proven processes to convert callers to clients, track your business metrics, & retain your clients. In addition, we provide therapist trainings on improving client retention, reducing cancellations and doing consult calls, and intake coordinator training on administrative tasks.
We’ll walk you through how to hire therapists for your private practice, including developing a compensation plan & a job description, and provide you with an customizable onboarding process.
We’ll show you how to get clients for your private practice, including identifying your ideal client, attracting them to your website, getting them on a consultation call with your intake coordinator, and teaching your intake coordinator the best practices for converting callers to clients and helping them feel excited about keeping their first session.
Building a private practice doesn’t have to be hard! You just need a business plan for therapists that addresses the unique challenges that come with running a private practice.
