Private Practice Coach & Consultant
As a private practice coach & consultant I will help you save time, avoid costly mistakes, and establish a thriving practice to supplement or substitute your income.
My offer to you.
My passion for helping others has transcended beyond the clinical setting to helping therapists achieve success in their own private practices. Time is valuable and mistakes can be costly. When working with me, you will receive the guidance and first-hand knowledge to help you overcome any barriers and establish a thriving private practice in a time efficient manner. I will guide you every step of the way through a multi-phase process from the beginning until your practice is established and you begin receiving clients. My approach is clear, detailed, and comes from a place of being a natural teacher and mentor.

My Story
From "impossible" to "I'm-possible."
My journey in the field of mental health began in 2004 while I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Child Development (2006) from California State University of Los Angeles. My passion for mental health grew as I strongly resonated with extreme need for services in the Latino community, specially, with having a mentally ill parent.
In 2009 I obtained my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University, Los Angeles. With aspirations to become a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I took on the lengthy task of earning my clinical hours but I also desired higher pay and the opportunity to professionally grow. My inner drive led me to the field of child protective services where, I remained for several years and earned a six figure income. Although the pay was good, I felt that something was missing and I didn't feel as if I was on the right path, the one that brought me financial fulfillment, personal satisfaction, and complete control of my life. However, the thought of achieving all three things at the same time seemed impossible and very far from reality. Regardless, I felt the need to try despite the challenges, I knew I would face along the way. So.........!
In May of 2018 I became licensed and I began my private practice journey but, searching for answers through social media groups, doing google searches, and watching Youtube videos was time consuming and confusing because at times the information obtained was contradictory and based on someone else's goals and not my own. My goal and my dream was to be in business for myself and to have complete control over my decisions and how I leveraged time, without anyone giving me orders or determining my worth. After 14 months of trials and errors I was able to build a consistent caseload of clients. As a result, I was able to make the successful transition from my full-time job to my private practice in September of 2019 with my private practice being my only income.
In January of 2020 I began my MBA with a specialization in small business enterprise. While Covid restrictions kept us confined I capitalized on virtually meeting with my clients while attending to my MBA program online. I then began incorporating what I was learning into my practice to scale it to a group practice.
In May of 2021 I successfully obtained my MBA and by October 2021 I had already onboarded two associate clinicians under my supervision and had transitioned from being a solo-practitioner to the beginning stages of a group practice. Up to date my group practice (https://discoveryfamilyservices.com) has grown beyond what I thought was possible and our growth is projected to continue throughout 2024 and 2025.
Since 2021 I have also coached and offered consultation services to other licensed therapists who have achieved success in their own private practices. All have generated a constant flow of clients to the extent of having waitlists or turning clients away due to being at full capacity. Some have also transitioned from high earning jobs into their own private practices full-time, allowing them the work/life balance that they desire.
​
I share this with you because everything is possible with the right plan and strategy. Most importantly, having the right resources and people at your side will help you achieve the level of success that you desire.
I am here to help you along the way through your private practice journey. What I offer you is with full confidence, sincerity, and without any hidden fees. If you are willing to accept my guidance and incorporate the steps required to establish or grow a successful private practice, you are one step closer to achieving your goal!
