Easy Ways to Scale & Grow Your Business On One Single Platform
Welcome back to Private Practice Lounge with Janessa Borges! In this video, I talk about how my favorite all-in-one platform Kajabi can not only help you with your website, hosting it, search engine optimization, which in other words is how to rank higher on Google because people can find you if you have good SEO and that you can also use the platform to process card payments and have an email list which is beautiful and perfect when you're just starting off. I wanted to focus this particular video on, if you're at a different stage in your practice or you're ready to run and roll like I am and you're ready to scale your private practice and do more without having to work one-on-one with clients, which after a while, I mean 12 years in, it came to a point where there was only so much of me and there were so many patients and so many hours in the day and I'm a big believer in quality over quantity and not having us burn out in the process of trying to help other people.

How Therapists Can Avoid NO SHOWS + My Brand New Masterclass is here!
As a therapist in private practice, "no shows" or late cancellations stink. They mean, you lose out on money. It's discouraging, and it can make you feel like "What am I even doing...?" Here are my tips to avoid those! On another note... Is starting a private practice on your vision board for 2024? Well, we've got 6 months to make that happen! I’m so excited to share a brand new LIVE masterclass I’m hosting “How to Start a Private Practice in 30 Days Without Overwhelm.” Here is the link to save your spot: If your goal is to replace your full time income and quit your job this is the event to attend. After over 12 years in private practice I can tell you it was so worth it and I’ll never work for anyone ever again. Not only have I been able to replace my income, but I make more (way more) than I ever did working my full time position, and my private practice combined all while working less than part time hours. But to be honest, that’s not even the highlight… Private practice has brought me… *the flexibility with my schedule *the ability to be there for every single one of my kids school events & field trips *being able to take off when I need or want to without asking for permission *being able to choose my hours *Choosing how many days I work and what days of the week I work *Not being stressed out by administrators, supervisors or parents *Not being spread thin or undervalued *Being able to do things I didn’t have the bandwidth to do before *Giving back to my community in a way that is aligned with my values without feeling like I’m self sacrificing my own growth If your goal is to start a private practice within the next 6 months so you can replace your full time income and quit your job - I’ve got you covered. Can't wait to see you there! Janessa

Should You Start A Private Practice At 50+?
Are you an LCSW in California completing your DSW, and contemplating the leap into private practice? Well, I received this email I wanted to personally answer. "In the grand scheme of things I am stuck. I am a LCSW in CA and will be completing my DSW this summer. I work for [a company] and have been here quite some time. I am very risk averse but really want to make a goal of starting my own practice – at 51 years old – yikes! Any guidance appreciated." In this raw and heartfelt message I discuss all things mindset. I believe life is short and long at the same time, and that with the right clarity and strategy you can have a successful private practice at any age.

Secrets to Affordable Private Practice Setup
I break down the essential expenses and share valuable tips to help you kickstart your private practice without breaking the bank. Don't let the fear of high costs hold you back - follow to learn how to build a successful private practice step by step! One of the biggest objections I continue to encounter from clinicians regarding venturing into private practice is the misconception that it’s too expensive. I’m guessing you can relate. I know it may seem a little scary…it can be, but it doesn’t have to be. The only thing worth regretting is taking longer than you need to, to get your practice up and running. Below is a list of the financial investment that is required to open your own practice (so you can be your own boss.) As clinicians we have an inclination to be perfectionists. Promise me that YOU won’t get in your own way and blame it on circumstance, opportunity, or finances. Promise? Don’t put this off.
