A Gentler Way to Plan Your Private Practice for the New Year
The start of a new year often comes with pressure — to set big goals, overhaul systems, and somehow become a more productive version of yourself overnight. For therapists, that pressure can quickly turn into burnout before January is even over. In this New Year’s Eve episode, Amber offers an alternative: a gentler, more sustainable way to plan your private practice for the year ahead. One rooted in reflection, alignment, and realistic capacity — not hustle or perfection. Amber walks listeners...

How to Prepare Your Private Practice (and Finances) for the Holidays
The holidays can bring a unique mix of emotions for private practice owners — gratitude, exhaustion, guilt about taking time off, and anxiety about money. For many therapists, client cancellations increase, schedules look lighter, and income can feel unpredictable. And without context, it’s easy to assume something is going wrong. In this Christmas Eve episode, Amber offers a calm, realistic conversation about how to navigate the holiday season in private practice financially, emotionally, an...

The Questions Therapists Are Too Afraid to Ask
Every therapist has questions they’re embarrassed to admit they don’t know — the ones they secretly Google or whisper in supervision. This episode is dedicated to normalizing those questions and giving therapists permission to stop pretending they have it all together. Amber shares her own early-career moments of feeling lost and underprepared, and then walks through the most common “quiet questions” she hears from supervisees and therapists she coaches. Listeners will learn: Whether you’re a...

How to Create a Therapist Schedule That Works for Your Life
Most therapists build their schedules around what clients want… not what they need. And that’s exactly how burnout sneaks in. In this episode, Amber breaks down a healthier, more intentional approach to scheduling — one that centers your wellbeing, your energy, and the lifestyle you’re working toward. Amber shares a relatable story about the days when she said yes to every client request, worked through lunch, and didn’t have a single moment of breathing room. That season taught her a powerfu...

Best Tools and Resources for a More Efficient Private Practice
Running a private practice doesn’t just mean showing up for sessions — it means juggling scheduling, notes, billing, phone calls, website updates, documentation, and more. The truth is: most therapists are doing the jobs of five people without realizing it. And without the right tools, everything feels harder than it needs to be. In this episode, Amber walks listeners through the essential tools, systems, and resources that make a private practice run more smoothly — not the overwhelming list...

Insurance vs. Private Pay — How to Choose What’s Right for You
Choosing whether to accept insurance, operate as a private-pay therapist, or pursue a hybrid model is one of the most important decisions a private practice owner will ever make. And it’s a decision that often comes with pressure, mixed opinions, and a lot of anxiety — especially for new therapists. In this episode, Amber breaks down the realities of each model with honesty and nuance. Instead of telling therapists which path they “should” take, she explores what each approach really looks li...

How to Overcome Doubt and Imposter Syndrome as a Private Practice Owner
Even the most experienced therapists struggle with doubt — especially when they’re building, growing, or evolving their private practice. In this episode, Amber gets honest about imposter syndrome: why it shows up, what it’s really trying to protect, and how private practice owners can move through it without getting stuck in fear, comparison, or perfectionism. Amber shares a vulnerable story from her own clinical work — the moment a client’s confidence in her triggered a wave of self-doubt —...

What Successful Therapists Do Differently in Private Practice
Two therapists can start their private practices with the same training, same niche, and same goals — yet their paths unfold completely differently. One thrives and builds a sustainable business, while the other struggles to keep their head above water. In this episode, Amber explores what truly separates therapists who thrive from those who simply survive in private practice. Spoiler: it’s not luck, it’s mindset. Sharing candid reflections from her own journey — including the day she realize...

Providing Excellent Clinical Care in Private Practice
Even the most seasoned therapists can find themselves on autopilot — sessions flow smoothly, notes get done, clients seem content. But truly excellent therapy requires more than competence. It requires curiosity, presence, and a willingness to adapt moment by moment. In this episode, Amber shares a story that reshaped how she thinks about quality care. That experience became a powerful reminder that even the “right” clinical moves have to be guided by connection, not just procedure. Exploring...

Avoiding Burnout as a Therapist in Private Practice
Burnout doesn’t always look like total exhaustion. For many therapists, it sneaks in quietly — through back-to-back sessions, skipped lunches, endless documentation, and that slow drain of compassion fatigue. In this episode, Amber unpacks what burnout really looks like for private practice owners and how to rebuild your business in a way that protects your energy, passion, and peace. Continuing the “K” in the UNLOCKED Framework — Keep Yourself Healthy, Amber shares practical strategies to st...

How to Get Therapy Clients Without Feeling Salesy
Marketing doesn’t come naturally to most therapists — and honestly, it’s not supposed to. Therapists are trained to listen, attune, and build trust, not to “pitch” themselves. But as Amber explains in this episode, connecting with your community is what helps the right clients find you — and it doesn’t have to feel awkward or inauthentic. In this episode of Private Practice Unlocked, Amber continues the “C” in the UNLOCKED Framework — Connect to Your Community — and shares how to build genuin...

How to Manage Your Income Like a Private Practice Pro
Money is one of the biggest sources of stress in private practice—not because therapists don’t earn enough, but because most were never taught what to do with the income once it arrives. Between inconsistent paychecks, surprise expenses, and tax-season anxiety, even experienced clinicians can feel like their finances are running the show. In this episode, Amber continues the “O” in the UNLOCKED Framework—Optimize Your Income—and walks listeners through practical ways to bring structure, clari...

How to Clarify Your Business Vision Before Starting a Private Practice
Most new therapists focus on the “how” of private practice—how to get clients, how to get paid, how to set everything up. But the question that often gets overlooked (and later causes the most regret) is why you’re building your business in the first place. In this episode of Private Practice Unlocked, Amber walks you through the importance of clarifying your vision before making big decisions. This isn’t about branding or aesthetics—it’s about aligning your private practice with your values,...
