The only question we ask before we meet
What is the main private practice question, challenge, or decision you'd like us to focus on during our 30 minutes together?
That's it. No lengthy intake, no generic overview — just the one thing you actually came here for.
What people bring
A single, focused question — often one of these.
- Starting a private practice — the practical first steps
- Setting and structuring your fees
- Insurance and direct billing — what to offer, and how
- Choosing a niche or area of focus
- Attracting referrals and building referral relationships
- Website and profile positioning
- Moving from associate work into solo practice
- Growing an existing practice past a plateau
Private Practice Consultation
Direct, experience-based input from a therapist who has built a private practice from the ground up in Ontario — Théla Psychotherapy Clinic.
Built From Real Experience, Not Theory
From solo practitioner to a team of four in under a year
In year one, Théla launched at $165/session, grew fees to $185 as demand supported it, and expanded from a solo practice to four associates — while running over 100 sessions a month. This consultation draws on that experience directly, not on a course written once and never touched again.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is business and practice consultation only. It doesn't count toward clinical supervision hours and isn't a substitute for clinical supervision, legal advice, or accounting advice.
Because focus is the point. Most consultations lose time to a broad intake before ever getting to what you actually came for. Naming one question upfront means we can start there — you get 30 full minutes on the thing you're stuck on, not 10 minutes of setup and 20 minutes of answer. It also keeps the offer honest about its scope: this is built for one focused decision, not a full practice audit. If you come in with something bigger, we'll be upfront about that in the moment, and can talk about whether a longer session or return visit makes more sense.
Come with the general area you're stuck on — even "I don't know where to start with fees" is enough. The intake question just helps focus the 30 minutes.
Yes. Many practitioners book a single session to work through one decision, then return later as new questions come up.
