I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Proud Owner of Silver Linings Mental Health. I am currently focusing on expanding our practice, teaching trauma informed care through the Silver Linings Institute, and providing consultation services to other practice owners.
I love empowering other therapists to take the leap into the world of private practice. Whether you are an already established practice or are just beginning, I will provide guidance. Oftentimes, the biggest obstacle is transferring from a therapist’s mindset to now being a business owner.
The therapist’s mindset encompasses a deep understanding of human behavior, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. This perspective is invaluable in navigating interpersonal relationships, fostering a positive company culture, and addressing the psychological aspects of both employees and clients.
Simultaneously, the business owner mindset contributes a results-driven orientation, strategic vision, and a keen sense of adaptability to the mix. Entrepreneurs are adept at setting goals, making informed decisions, and steering their company through challenges.
The merging of these two mindsets can result in a holistic leadership style that recognizes the symbiotic relationship between employee well-being and business success. This integrative approach not only enhances team dynamics but also cultivates a work environment where individuals feel understood, supported, and motivated to contribute their best, thereby creating a thriving and sustainable business. I will help you with combining both mindsets in order to foster a sustainable business plan.
