Training Programs for Therapists

Julia is phenomenal to work with! She is a wealth of knowledge in all things Private Practice and an expert in her field. I am so grateful for all of her support and guidance on my Private Practice Journey. She helped make the process feel more manageable and less overwhelming with each consultation meeting that we had. With her assistance, I was able to identify practice goals and create actionable steps to achieve them. She also offered incredibly helpful resources and tools to help me along the way. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you are looking for kind, compassionate, professional, dedicated, organized, and knowledgeable consultant. Thank you, Julia!

Starting a private practice is one of the most intimidating endeavors I’ve ever taken on in my career. No matter how much research I did, it felt like I would never know which mistakes to avoid until I’d already made them and learned for next time. Hiring Julia as a consultant for my practice changed the entire experience. Instead of feeling like I’m dodging potholes on a bumpy road, now it feels like I’m in an Escalade with a super strong suspension driving right over them as if they were smooth pavement. Now I don’t need to worry, I get to just be excited for the next step of my career! Julia is by far the best investment I’ve made!

I have been in private practice for over 5 years. Last year I decided to further pursue my professional goals by expanding my practice into a group practice and I felt lost on where to start. I contacted Julia in November of 2022 and she immediately responded and started helping me. Julia has been fantastic! She is very well organized and extremely attentive. Whenever I have needed guidance she always finds the time to meet with me. The process of expanding to a group practice at first felt overwhelming, but with Julia’s support I feel I have someone I can rely on to properly guide me. It is incredibly beneficial to have this support. Julia is also well connected to great resources, is easy to talk to, and very kind. I have all good things to say about Julia. I have recommended her to other therapists and will continue to do so.

I had the privilege of consulting with Julia for guidance on opening a group practice, and her expertise made all the difference. Julia’s insights and advice were instrumental in getting our practice off the ground successfully. From our initial meeting, it was evident that Julia possessed a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in starting a group practice. She provided invaluable information about structuring our practice, navigating regulatory requirements, and developing a solid foundation for growth. Julia’s support didn’t end with our consultation; she made herself available for follow-up questions and clarifications whenever needed. Her professionalism and knowledge were truly exceptional. Thanks to Julia’s guidance, we are now on a solid path to building a thriving group practice. If you’re considering starting your own group practice, I highly recommend Julia’s consulting services. Her expertise is a game-changer.

Julia is very helpful and a great ongoing resource! She is very willing to share her own experiences! She is easily accessible! I value her guidance and support during my transition from solo practice to group practice, her wisdom is valuable and relevant based on her own personal experience in this process! Highly recommend her consultation and I plan to continue to connect with her throughout my process!

Working with Julia has been immeasurably helpful. Julia took the time to gain a real understanding of where my practice was and where I wanted it to be in the future. The guidance, suggestions, and support that she provided have allowed me to create a more organized and goal-directed approach towards scaling my practice. Julia helped me to create new systems and to strengthen the systems I already had in place, which continue to pay dividends as my practice grows. I highly suggest working with Julia and Compassionate Consulting Company whether your goals are to start, improve, or scale your practice!

Julia was exactly who I needed at a crucial time in my venture into private practice. I had gathered what I thought was helpful and necessary to start to build my business, but was paralyzed by a lot of “what ifs” and “is this really right?” Julia’s warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease and helped me open up about my current goals and plans. For an individual starting out in private practice with little knowledge of all that is involved, Julia’s service will absolutely be an investment that continues to pay as she provides short and long term objectives and goals, accountability, organization, and insight into private practice. Perhaps her greatest strength is encouraging others to look at their “big picture” and what some long-term goals for business might be. She had me considering what my business might look like when matched to my personal values. We need more Julia’s in consulting!

Julia has been so great to work with. She let me ask all of my questions, even the questions I felt self-conscious about asking. She never made me feel like I had a “dumb” question! Julia is very knowledgeable about the process of starting a practice and has been a great resource as I took on the (somewhat daunting) task of doing credentialing on my own. She responded promptly to messages and requests to meet and it always felt that it was a priority to her to make time for me! I feel so confident heading into this experience knowing I have had her guidance.

Julia has been such an amazing resource. When I first considered opening a small group practice, I was confident in my clinical skills but the business side felt completely overwhelming. Julia made it manageable. She provided a framework, then helped me organize steps, resources, and timelines. She was a sounding board to talk through business decisions. Throughout the process she was always in my corner, checking in and cheering me on. Her confidence kept me moving forward. I’m not sure I would have followed through on the dream without her support.

I have known Julia for over a decade and when I decided to start my own private practice, she was the person I contacted. She helped me take the necessary steps to establish Freeing Minds and I appreciate her knowledge, response time, and patience. She remains my go-to for consultation and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to start their own practice.

Julia was a true pleasure to work with! I am in the process of forming my own private practice with a PLLC, and had a lot of questions about the process, all of which she was able to answer. She is a wealth of information, and a super nice person to work with as well.

I cannot thank Compassionate Consulting Company enough for the input and valuable information to start my professional podcast. My questions were answered with more information and resources than I could have hoped for. I am so excited to start my new professional project with a clear focus and direction. I highly recommend Compassionate Consulting Company for any of your consulting needs.

I utilized Julia’s services when I was starting my private practice and couldn’t be happier that I did. She was knowledgeable, timely, and easy to engage with. In less than a year I have a thriving business and a trusted mentor. Do not hesitate to connect with her if you are feeling overwhelmed or out of your league. Compassionate Consulting will help to streamline the process so you can focus on your vision.

Julia is an extraordinarily talented, motivated and kind person. She energetically approaches her work as a clinician and business owner and is very generous in sharing her knowledge with others. She has a great deal of professional wisdom to share and she inspires others to move forward on their paths to greater success.

Julia has been incredibly helpful and prompt in answering questions and providing guidance. She approaches her consultation with compassion and inquisitiveness, and her feedback is honest and constructive. I would recommend her and her practice without reservation.

Julia has been wonderful to work with in setting up my private practice with having zero knowledge about where to start! She provides amazing resources and guidance along the way and makes the process much less overwhelming. I highly recommend working with her if you are just getting started in private practice.

My consulting experience with Julia was exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. She was kind, knowledgable, and most importantly – humble! She didn’t remind me of all of the things I wasn’t doing that were preventing me from getting to where I want to be; she reminded me of all of the things I needed to keep doing and helped me to see the connection between my current beliefs/behaviors and my goal. She highlighted my strengths and left me with the sense of competence I need to take the next step with my business. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your wisdom and expertise and for being so kind and humble while doing it!

I don’t normally do google reviews but I felt so blown away by my experience with Julia and Compassionate Consulting that I needed to say something. I feel like so many people are out there trying to offer services that are just mediocre, but Julia has been so knowledgeable and resourceful in every way possible. I have never had a question she didn’t answer and a moment when I didn’t feel encouraged. Scaling a private practice to a group practice can be scary and there are so many moments when doubt and fear get in the way. I have come to Julia in waves of fear and disappointment and left full of encouragement every single time. I can’t say enough about Compassionate Consulting. If you are wavering in your decision making- that’s your fear! I promise you this will be the best choice you have ever made.

I established my private practice in 2016 and decided to create a group practice in 2022. Julia assisted me in establishing policies and procedures, managing billing, determining my compensation model, navigating the hiring process, and drafting contracts. She has grown her practice over the years and truly enjoys assisting others in establishing and building their practices. She is a pleasure to work with. Thank you for all your support Julia!

Julia is an all around warm and lovely person AND sharp in her consulting skills! She’s been a much-needed companion, coach, and cheerleader for me as I began my venture into establishing a private therapy practice. I highly recommend you don’t go at it alone, but ask her along for the ride! Your anxiety levels will lower the moment you meet her.

Being a group practice owner can be isolating. Julia’s knowledge & support is invaluable. She has built a successful group practice that takes insurance, which was important to me. Her consulting packages are flexible and she really tailors her business to fit each client’s needs. I cannot say enough good things about her. She has helped me problem solve & has a collaborative way about her is not at all intimidating. If you are considering a consultant, I’d highly recommend Julia!

I had the privilege of working with Julia, and her guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate the complexities of structuring clinician pay rates and refining our employee handbook. Her expertise in these areas not only brought clarity to our operational processes but also ensured we remain competitive and compliant. Beyond that, Julia has been an incredible thought partner, providing strategic insights into how I can grow both as a leader and as a business owner. Her thoughtful approach to leadership development has been instrumental in shaping my vision for the future of my business. I truly appreciate Julia’s support, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to strengthen their business foundations and leadership skills.
