Let’s be honest—most therapists and counselors didn’t go to grad school to learn how to run a business. Managing client care is hard enough, and adding operations, marketing, and leadership into the mix can feel like a full-time job on its own.
That’s where I come in.
I genuinely enjoy helping mental health professionals connect the dots between their clinical mission and business success. Through coaching and consulting, we’ll clarify your goals, cut through the overwhelm, and create a business strategy that supports both sustainability and profitability—financially and in how you spend your time.
First step?
We define your personal practice goals. From there, we map out the rest.
You’ll walk away with a customized, actionable plan that reflects your values, supports your lifestyle, and positions your practice to grow with purpose. Whether you’re building a solo practice, expanding a group, or just tired of spinning your wheels, we’ll build a path that makes sense for you—and stick with it.
At the heart of our work is a simple formula:
Sustainability + Aligned Career Goals = Long-Term Profitability
“Working with GWC was the most impactful time of my career today. The growth I experienced as both a counselor and as a business owner is immeasurable. I felt completely supported and Veronica was a wealth of information. I feel totally grateful this is where I landed so early in my career.”
Emily Gustin Counseling
It is not that easy to start a private practice! I would not have known the first place to start. I learned how to run a profitable and sustainable business, while also balancing my own personal needs. Veronica made it simple, through one-on-one coaching, training modules, and printed instructions. It's foolproof!”
Uplifting Psychological Services
“Simply speaking, 'it helped me get my business off the ground.' There were multiple times where I said to myself, 'I'm so glad I decided to go with this option', because it helped me with exactly what I needed and desired to move forward with becoming a professional therapist. The business coaching was the most important aspect from me, as there were many aspects of 'you don't know what you don't know'.”
MOuntain West Counseling
