A Place To Start and Sustain A Private Pay Practice

You became a therapist to serve others and make a difference, not to burn out trying to keep your practice afloat. Imagine a practice that reflects your values, fills your schedule with your ideal clients, and provides both income and balance. It is possible to have a thriving solo practice that supports your life instead of consuming it.

Is this you?

You became a therapist to help people, not to manage endless logistics, yet you find yourself stuck. Maybe you…

  • Are ready to start your practice, but feeling overwhelmed with first steps

  • Have a part time private practice and are ready to go all in

  • Want to get off insurance panels so you can have autonomy over the nature of your work

  • Work incredibly hard but are not earning enough

  • Feel burned out or disorganized

  • Want a simple, authentic, and grounded way to run your practice

  • Want coaching, structure, accountability and peer support to help you attain your private practice goals

Hi. I am Cristina Trette. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the Founder of Seremar Center and Integrative Couples Therapy. Many therapists set out to start a private pay practice, and unexpectedly, hit significant challenges along the way. I know how difficult it can be to integrate the art and science of therapy, with the business of therapy. I started my practice just before the pandemic, and within a few years, I had grown enough to employ a small team of therapists.

Owning a small group practice was my dream, yet in 2023, I made a series of well informed, but uninformed business decisions that led to financial crisis and nearly closed my practice overnight. That experience became one of my greatest teachers. I used all my therapy tools, pulled myself up, and kept going. Since that time, I have committed to learning everything I can about how to run a thriving private pay therapy practice. I study marketing, sales, finances, operations, and leadership. I rebuilt my practice from the ground up, clarified my focus, and created systems that bring both stability to my work and life. Through my Therapist Solopreneurs Coaching Program, I am sharing these strategies with other therapists, so you can build a private pay practice that supports your clients and sustains you too.

Therapist Solopreneurs Coaching Program

This program is designed for therapists who are ready to create a private pay practice with depth, focus, and accountability. I will help you clarify your goals, take practical steps forward, strengthen your business foundation, and create a private pay practice that is aligned with your values.

How It Works
