Who We Are

What we do

Helping Prospective &
Licensed Mental Health
Professionals Thrive

About

Hey! We are Chris (PhD, Clinical Psychologist, supervisor, serial entrepreneur ), Rachel (LMFT, supervisor, private practice, career consulting), Kaiden (LCSW, career consulting), Sarah (Systems psychology, research & academic audits, career consulting), Ivanka (administration, insurance, & onboarding consultant) & Reese (business & burn-out support). We started this project to create an avenue of support for prospective & practicing mental health professionals at any stage of their career.

We are a collab of consultants & entrepreneurs who understand the mental health field. If we can save you time, increase your earning potential, lower your over all debt-load, reduce the exorbitant costs of getting your credentials, and/or save you from the pain many of us went through to get into the field, then we are doing our job!

The gatekeeping and up front costs lead most of us into expensive mistakes when it comes to choosing academic direction. Yes, this career track is rewarding, especially when you have direction & support when you need it the most.

Career Mapping & Strategy Support

Our work together is a thought-provoking and introspective process that inspires you to reach the finish line.

 

We design our sessions to facilitate your unique creative process & develop your personal, professional/business goals.

This is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of your life, including education, your job, finances, burn out,  community, and recreation. Our sessions advocate for you to meet and often exceed the goals you create for yourself.

 Accountability &
Burn-out Support 

We love a great business idea & thrive on helping you resource and build a business strategy & plan.

If you struggle to stay on task, need inspiration and accountability to maintain your goals, you found your people. Whether you want to launch a product, write a book, start your podcast, create a digital course, or want to open your dream practice, we understand results require direction & drive.

We are here to support you during major career shifts, launching your passive income projects, and while you make big, new decisions. This is the  most rewarding process if you lean into your strengths, improve on your weaknesses, and have support along the way!

Information Packed Self-paced Courses

  1. Discover Your Path: A guide to choosing your mental health acronym

  2. Pick Your Niche: Save time & money during supervision

  3. Travel Abroad: Don't fear the move-Coming soon!

There are a lot of upfront costs as you start out in mental health. Our mini- courses were developed with the next generation in mind:

1. The earlier you find us, the more you can save; especially if you haven't started your bachelors. Figure out which mental health acronym will suit you and your lifestyle needs, discover money saving avenues you didn't even know to think of as you hit certain career landmarks.

2. Mitigate the upfront financial strain you are expected to pay when entering this field.​ We are here to take the heaviness out of these decision-making processes because you will be well-informed.

3. Get real stories from professionals in the field. There is so much gate keeping in the field of Psychology: We interviewed them and share what we learned from them and our own experiences.

 

4. We hand you some of the best tricks of the trade & have proudly saved some students $20,000- $200,000 on hidden & sunken costs we wish we knew about!

 

We found out the hard way so you don't have to. 

Academic Preparation & Career Consulting

Once you have taken our courses and have a direction you'd like to go, the next part is diving in and structuring your next year to prepare for your academic journey.

 

Our consulting calls cover you where you are at and are customized specific to the areas you feel you are struggling in. 

  1. CV & academic auditing support to find direction.

  2. Graduate program filtering done together to help you get clear on academic direction.

  3. Financial risk analysis to find the best route for your life demands and needs.

  4. Goodness of fit research and preparation done together to find program opportunities that fit your niche & needs. Outshine and stand above the rest. 

  5. Interview preparation. The most important part of being accepted

SUCCESS STORIES

If I stick with my plan, I should save $60,000 in graduate program costs from my original direction because the route I was going would have taken me twice as long.

I am feeling relief knowing where to put my energy and having a clear direction

thank you!!

Testimonials

Our work together: The work we do together cannot make any outcome guarantees with consultations that may cover admission applications, academic audits or the advise we give. We are not academic advisors nor have any affiliation with academic programs, their advisors, state or specialization boards. Our approaches do not have to be your approach. Your decisions and where you are at in your journey determine many factors, and we do not guarantee that your savings will be the same as others or that it will be the same as our experiences that we collect from those we interview in our series.

We also make the assumption that you are at a baseline of mental health that allows our work to build on your life & business goals. We do not diagnose or treat mental disorders fitting a DSM diagnostic criteria. We do not accept HSA or work with insurance. These services are not considered therapy, counseling, nor do we offer suicide support. We are heavily networked with therapists and provide referrals when necessary.
