You know how to help your clients heal. But no one taught you how to run the business.
Starting your own practice sounded freeing… until you realized how many hats you'd have to wear.
NOW YOU’RE GOOGLING THINGS LIKE:
“how to get therapy clients online,”
“how much should I charge,”
and “how to name a private practice”…
…all while wondering if you're cut out for this.
You are.
You just don’t need to figure it out alone.
I’m Nancy Cowden.
I help therapists build practices that feel aligned, profitable, and sustainable.
When I started my private practice 13 years ago, I had a kindergartener and infant at home and a strong desire for freedom. I didn’t want to choose between being present for my family and doing work that made a difference. So I built a business that allowed me to do both—and now I teach other therapists how to do the same.
Now, I am the founder of Ravel Mental Health, author of The Prosperous Therapist: A Therapists Guide to Launching and Growing a Thriving Practice and business coach for therapists starting their own practice.

Over the years, I’ve:
Built a thriving private practice from scratch
Founded Ravel Mental Health, a booking platform that connects clients with therapists
Created The Solo Practice Success Facebook community of 6,000+ clinicians
And wrote the book The Prosperous Private Practice: A Therapists Guide to Launching and Growing a Thriving Practice to help therapists confidently step into business ownership
But this isn’t just
about my story.
It’s about helping you write the next chapter of yours with more clarity, confidence, and support.
This is the support I wish I had when I started.
My coaching is practical, empowering, and grounded in real-life experience.
Together, we’ll walk through everything from setting your fees and refining your niche, to marketing in a way that actually works (and feels good to you).
You don’t have to hustle to exhaustion or figure it out alone.
With the right foundation, you can grow a fulfilling, sustainable practice that works for you.
