But…here’s the Bad News

> Black female therapists are making waves in private practice like never before. But let’s face the truth: this fuels burnout. Kind of a double-edged sword, right?!

> Many of us started private practice as a side hustle without really knowing how—just winging it.

> We’re missing the support and guidance tailored to our unique needs.

> We’ve been trained as clinicians, not entrepreneurs. So we’re operating our businesses as helping professionals, not CEO’s.

> We’re exhausted, irritable, confused, and feeling stuck, with little motivation.

> We’re overextending ourselves, afraid of failure, afraid of rejection, and scared to death that we won’t make enough money to support our lives.

But…here’s the Bad News

> Black female therapists are starting private practices at historic rates (yay!)…but this fuels burnout. Kind of a double-edged sword, right?!

> Many of us started private practices as a side hustle without really knowing how—just winging it.

> We are underrepresented and lack support for our unique needs.

> We’ve been trained as clinicians, not entrepreneurs. So we’re operating our businesses as helping professionals, not CEO’s.

> We’re exhausted, irritable, confused, and feeling stuck, with little motivation.

> We’re overextending ourselves, afraid of failure, afraid of rejection, and scared to death that we won’t make enough money to support our lives.

Ultimately, this burnout impacts our quality of clinical work with our clients.

This is NOT how private practice is supposed to feel,
and I am here to help you change that!

I’m Shawntal, and I’ve been where you are.

My journey started working full-time and trying to figure out private practice as a side hustle. Then moving to full-time private practice…but not really understanding how. For instance, I accepted just about any client that was referred because I wanted to help everyone AND I had bills to pay! It was draining and I wasn’t excited about the work that I was doing.

Eventually, I began to shift, aligning with who I am as a person and a therapist and an entrepreneur. It’s been life-changing.

Now my private practice is thriving, earning multiple six figures with ease, supporting my community, and honoring my personal and family goals. 

This future is possible for you, too.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

Shay Reeves, LMFT - Ahimsa Counseling & Wellness, PLLC

From our very first interaction, Shawntal showed incredible knowledge of the field by not only guiding me through what can be an overwhelming administrative process, but she was thoughtful and intentional about supporting me in building a clinical practice that was energizing and that aligned with my interests. Shawntal’s compassion, genuineness, and uplifting personality transcended my expectations. She is a resource to me in my practice through her encouragement, her calm presence, and again her support with the entrepreneurial side of practice. I’m now so very lucky to call Shawntal a friend and continue to connect with her regularly. She is a listening ear, an amazing resource, and an advocate of my growing practice!

LaTania Williams McAdoo, LCMHC - Hopeful Expectations Counseling & Consulting Group, PLLC

The 21-Day Private Practice Challenge is great for those of you who are seeking to understand what it looks like to open or start your counseling private practice. Shawntal is a natural when it comes to teaching and she is very open to listening and providing a deeper understanding of private practice. Her goal is to meet you where you are and encourage you to know and understand your value and worth. I would definitely recommend this challenge to those who are seeking to open their first private practice and those who want to enhance what they have already started.

Marlea Leary, LCSW – Cupola Counseling, PLLC

It is a true privilege to call Shawntal a friend and mentor for the past decade.  I grew into the therapist I am today under her ongoing support, guidance and clinical supervision.  When it was time to start my own private practice, Shawntal gave me all the tools and encouragement I needed to become my own boss.  She is a wealth of knowledge and resources in all areas of clinical practice, ethics and small business.   She provides endless motivation, validation and creativity while challenging you to go outside your comfort zone to meet your personal goals.  I have a successful, thriving private practice thanks to our work together! Thank you Shawntal!

LaShawnda McLaurin, LCMHC - McLaurin Mental Wellness, PLLC

I enjoyed working with Shawntal. I found it helpful to have someone to talk to about my fears, concerns, and worries about expanding my private practice. She was clear about options and things to consider when it came to systems and structures (especially things that weren’t on my radar). Having an accountability partner was extremely helpful. When I was given things to do in-between sessions, I actually got it done because I knew we were meeting again. That helped me progress more quickly. My experience with Shawntal was invaluable.

Janell Skeete, LCSW - The Self-Cared Woman, LLC

I had the privilege of working with Shawntal, and I can confidently say that it has been a game-changer for my mental health practice. As a mental health professional and business owner, I knew the importance of seeking guidance and support when it came to the business aspect of my work, and I couldn't have made a better choice than partnering with her. From the very beginning, Shawntal demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within the mental health industry. Her personalized approach was tailored to MY SPECIFIC NEEDS and goals, which immediately set me on a path to success. One of the most significant benefits of working with Shawntal was her ability to help me clarify and refine my business vision. She provided a fresh perspective, never judged me and helped me set clear and achievable goals for my practice. With her guidance, I developed my own business strategy
