I have been in private practice for over 5 years. Last year I decided to further pursue my professional goals by expanding my practice into a group practice and I felt lost on where to start. I contacted Julia in November of 2022 and she immediately responded and started helping me. Julia has been fantastic! She is very well organized and extremely attentive. Whenever I have needed guidance she always finds the time to meet with me. The process of expanding to a group practice at first felt overwhelming, but with Julia’s support I feel I have someone I can rely on to properly guide me. It is incredibly beneficial to have this support. Julia is also well connected to great resources, is easy to talk to, and very kind. I have all good things to say about Julia. I have recommended her to other therapists and will continue to do so.

Working with Julia has been immeasurably helpful. Julia took the time to gain a real understanding of where my practice was and where I wanted it to be in the future. The guidance, suggestions, and support that she provided have allowed me to create a more organized and goal-directed approach towards scaling my practice. Julia helped me to create new systems and to strengthen the systems I already had in place, which continue to pay dividends as my practice grows. I highly suggest working with Julia and Compassionate Consulting Company whether your goals are to start, improve, or scale your practice!

Julia was exactly who I needed at a crucial time in my venture into private practice. I had gathered what I thought was helpful and necessary to start to build my business, but was paralyzed by a lot of “what ifs” and “is this really right?” Julia’s warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease and helped me open up about my current goals and plans. For an individual starting out in private practice with little knowledge of all that is involved, Julia’s service will absolutely be an investment that continues to pay as she provides short and long term objectives and goals, accountability, organization, and insight into private practice. Perhaps her greatest strength is encouraging others to look at their “big picture” and what some long-term goals for business might be. She had me considering what my business might look like when matched to my personal values. We need more Julia’s in consulting!

Julia has been so great to work with. She let me ask all of my questions, even the questions I felt self-conscious about asking. She never made me feel like I had a “dumb” question! Julia is very knowledgeable about the process of starting a practice and has been a great resource as I took on the (somewhat daunting) task of doing credentialing on my own. She responded promptly to messages and requests to meet and it always felt that it was a priority to her to make time for me! I feel so confident heading into this experience knowing I have had her guidance.

Julia has been such an amazing resource. When I first considered opening a small group practice, I was confident in my clinical skills but the business side felt completely overwhelming. Julia made it manageable. She provided a framework, then helped me organize steps, resources, and timelines. She was a sounding board to talk through business decisions. Throughout the process she was always in my corner, checking in and cheering me on. Her confidence kept me moving forward. I’m not sure I would have followed through on the dream without her support.

I have known Julia for over a decade and when I decided to start my own private practice, she was the person I contacted. She helped me take the necessary steps to establish Freeing Minds and I appreciate her knowledge, response time, and patience. She remains my go-to for consultation and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to start their own practice.

I established my private practice in 2016 and decided to create a group practice in 2022. Julia assisted me in establishing policies and procedures, managing billing, determining my compensation model, navigating the hiring process, and drafting contracts. She has grown her practice over the years and truly enjoys assisting others in establishing and building their practices. She is a pleasure to work with. Thank you for all your support Julia!

Julia was instrumental in guiding me on the process of starting my own private practice. Thinking about starting your own business can be fear-provoking, and that business being a mental health practice, it’s terrifying. Julia was incredibly supportive, patient, and reassuring throughout the whole process. She made herself available to me with any questions or concerns and would schedule in-person meetings to walk me through certain steps that seemed overwhelming. I’m truly grateful to have had her support and continued guidance in making my dream a reality.
