The Embodied Practice Collective

Because you want to love what you do again

We became therapists because we loved the work, and we loved the people we are privileged to serve.

Now let’s learn how to keep loving what we do…

Are you a therapist who…

  • Is in solo practice and wanting to grow yourself and your practice

  • Is part of a group practice and wanting to grow your own business on the side

  • Has started your own private practice and are finally seeing your own clients, but realizing you need more

  • Has a successful private practice but needing community and ways to explore additional income streams

This is for you if:

  • You love your clients, and recognize you need to see less clients to stay in this field

  • You want more of the right clients

  • You recognize you need to do more than client sessions to reach your financial goals

  • You feel isolated in your practice and want a network of providers to lean on and plan with

Imagine if

  • You love what you do

  • You build a practice that models the boundaries and care you teach your clients

  • You were making the money you wanted, and did not feel guilty about it

  • You build a practice that models your values, no matter the jobs and business models you’ve seen or experienced before

  • You had people to call with those practice and business questions, and they actually answered the phone AND your question

  • You had fun with your work again…

A membership for you

Teaching

Monthly 1.5 hour teaching & training calls, with access to replays of the teaching videos for the membership year. Teaching areas listed below

Hot Seat Calls

Monthly 1.5 hour group hot seat calls, where individual members can pose questions with live feedback from Erica and other members. Members can sit in the “hot seat” and pose their questions/ideas for live, supportive, feedback

Community

1 year access to the group coaching and hot seat call recorded videos, and access to each other. At this time we will not have a Facebook group, nor a slack channel. I’ve found that in groups you really hit it off with 1 or 2 people, I want you to connect with each other. So, you’ll be able to connect LIVE via zoom and/or you can catch the recorded calls in our membership area.

So what am I paying to learn?

embody your practice

Exploring ways to bring yourself into to your practice, because it’s you that makes your business.

Decolonizing the work

Critically thinking about how we engage in anti-oppressive practice, from a prospective client’s Google search to a long term client’s discharge.

non-traditional approaches

How to make space for that thing you’ve always wanted to bring into your practice. Walk & talk therapy, cooking, dance, aerobics - wellness looks many ways.

More than client work

There are only so many hours in a day, and at some point we all accept we can’t use them all to see clients. We will be exploring other ways to create the income we need, and the income we want.

Accessibility

We are always rethinking about what it means to be accessible, and that does not stop with having a first floor office space.

marketing your work

Who knows about you and what you do? You have phenomenal ideas, you’ve laid the groundwork, now it’s time to spread the word.

Why create this space?

I’m Erica. To be perfectly honest, I’m creating this space because I realize I’ve been repeating myself. I have had supervision, professional, and business consultations with more than 500+ therapists. More than 500 therapists have paid me to essentially answer a lot of the exact same questions. One of my favorite things to do is connect people with each other.

Yes, some of these are questions that should have been taught in graduate school. Some are questions I wish people would talk about more freely, and ultimately I’ve learned that we need each other. I’ve learned that therapists desperately seek community with other values aligned practice owners.

So, I’m a therapist originally trained by the community mental health and non-profit fields, spent several years as a clinical director in a several location group practice. That group practice led me to start my private practice on the side. At some point the consultation and supervision leg of my private practice was making the same amount of money as my client work. As someone who lives with chronic illness, this was a pivotal moment in creating some peace of mind and financial security - knowing that I had some flexibility in my work options. Now, in full time private practice, doing consultation, supervision, training, and continuing to see clients as a trauma therapist - I LOVE what I do.

I want that for you too.

Is this you?

Are you ready to be in community with other values aligned providers, who are also committed to growth and development. I’m ready to grow my practice and turn it into work that you love again.

BUT, this is a community for people who are going to show up to live calls. This is a community for people who are ready and wanting to engage with others. This is a community for people who are wanting to grow their businesses in more ways than one-on-one therapy client work. This is a community for people committed to anti-oppressive and equitable businesses and practices.
