Why You Should Work with Me for Business Coaching (and What I Offer)

Hey there, fellow therapist (or soon-to-be therapist)! If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole “running a business” side of private practice, you’re not alone—and I’ve got your back. I’m Rachel Dorneanu, a therapist, mentor, and business coach dedicated to helping therapists build practices they love. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, I’m here to help you feel confident and in control of your business.

Why Work with Me?

I know what it feels like to juggle the clinical side of therapy with the demands of marketing, networking, and figuring out how to actually make a living doing what you love. I’ve been there, and now I use what I’ve learned to support therapists like you.

Here’s why I believe I’m the right person to help you:

1. I Get It—Because I’m a Therapist Too

I’m not some business guru throwing out generic advice. I’ve walked the path you’re on. As a licensed professional counselor and the owner of Sage Counseling and Wellness, I know firsthand how tricky it can be to balance caring for clients while managing the nuts and bolts of a private practice.

2. I Tailor My Support to Fit You

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into private practice or looking to expand your services, I’ve got you covered. I offer guidance at different stages, including:

• For Aspiring Therapists: Thinking about grad school? I can help you navigate the application process and understand what to expect in the field.

• For New Therapists: Starting a private practice can feel overwhelming. I’ll help you build your brand, connect with referral sources, and create a steady client flow without burning yourself out.

• For Established Therapists: If you’re ready to expand your practice, we can brainstorm ways to add services, grow your client base, or even develop an internship program.

3. I’m Big on Practical Tools and Resources

I don’t just talk theory—I provide tools and actionable steps that you can apply right away. Whether it’s marketing tips, client retention strategies, or ways to improve work-life balance, I’ve got resources to make your life easier.

4. I Offer Flexible Support (Because You’re Busy!)

I know time is precious, so I offer different coaching options to fit your schedule:

• 50-Minute Consultation Calls: Great for digging into specific questions, setting goals, and finding solutions fast.

• Free 15-Minute Discovery Calls: Not sure if business coaching is right for you? Let’s chat, no strings attached.

5. I’m All About Energy, Humor, and Encouragement

I believe coaching should be helpful and enjoyable. I’m here to cheer you on, brainstorm creative ideas, and give you the confidence to run your business in a way that fits your personality and values. Plus, I’m not afraid to laugh with you when things get a little chaotic—because sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.

What I Can Help You With

• Building Your Private Practice: From marketing to networking to figuring out how to fill your calendar with clients you love working with.

• Creating an Internship Program: If you’re thinking about offering internships at your practice, I can help you create a structure that benefits both your interns and your business.

• Finding Your Unique Voice: I’ll help you market yourself authentically so that the right clients find you.
