Building something in mental health?

A clinic, a retreat program, a platform, a team. I’m a licensed counselor and founder who has built the clinical, operational and product sides of mental health businesses. If you’re building one, I can probably help.

How this usually starts

A retreat center owner found me through Trauma Focused Hypnotherapy. Partway through the conversation he learned I also build practices, and by the end he asked me to partner with him on a mental health clinic inside his retreat center. Most of my best work starts that way: someone comes in through one door and realizes the hard part of their project is something I’ve already built.

What I bring to a project

Six capabilities, each one backed by something I built and still run.

Ways we can work together

Who this is for

Facility and retreat owners adding clinical care. Founders building a mental health product who need someone who has actually practiced. Organizations that need a clinical team trained or a program designed. Group practices ready to scale past what the owner can hold in their head.

If you’re a solo clinician or an intern, the free resources are a better place to start, and Mentality Today handles billing, credentialing and supervision.
