Private Practice Business Coaching That Moves You Forward

1:1 business coaching for therapists ready to build a prosperous, sustainable private practice — without the overwhelm.

You were trained to help others.

But running your own practice?That’s a whole different skill set.

If you’re like most therapists I work with, you didn’t enter this field because you wanted to be a business owner.

You became a therapist because you care deeply about people — and you’re good at the work you do.

But now you’re faced with questions like:

?

“How do I attract the right clients?”

?

“Am I charging enough?”

?

“What systems do I need?”

The truth is…
You don’t need to figure all of this out by yourself.

Hi, I’m Nancy Cowden.

Founder of The Prosperous Therapist, author of The Prosperous Practice : A Therapists Guide to Launching and Growing a Thriving Practice, and your guide for building a business that reflects your purpose.

I’ve been where you are—balancing the dream of private practice with the stress of trying to get it off the ground.

When I started my own practice 13 years ago, I had zero business training. I launched my practice while raising a young family because I wanted more flexibility—and I believed I could create something that worked for both me and my clients.

Since then, I’ve:
✔️ Built a thriving therapy practice that supported my life, not the other way around
✔️ Founded Ravel Mental Health, an online therapist directory and booking platform
✔️ Written Prosperous Practice:
 A Therapist’s Guide to Launching and Growing a Thriving Practice to help therapists navigate the business side of private practice with ease
, a book to guide therapists through private practice foundations
✔️ Built a community of 6,000+ therapists through Solo Practice Success Facebook group

Through it all, I’ve helped hundreds of clinicians find clarity, raise their fees, confidently market themselves, and finally feel in control of their business.

Here's the truth:

Most therapists are capable of running successful practices.
But no one taught you how—and trying to piece it together alone can be exhausting.

If you're feeling stuck or scattered, you don’t need another free checklist or 30-minute webinar.
You need personalized, strategic support from someone who's been in your shoes—and helped others walk the same path.

That’s exactly what 1:1 coaching offers.

What Makes This Coaching Different?

You’re not just getting advice.
You’re getting a strategic partner invested in your success. Every session is designed around your goals and your growth.

You’ll never feel like just another client.
I intentionally keep a small 1:1 caseload to ensure deep, focused support.

It’s about long-term sustainability.
Not just filling your calendar for now—but building a business you can sustain without burnout.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and your business shouldn’t be either.
We’ll design a plan that fits your unique strengths, values, and season of life.

The Coaching Framework

Each client’s journey is different, but here’s what we typically focus on:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I’m just starting out—is this too advanced for me?
Not at all. Many clients begin before they've named their practice or seen their first client. We’ll walk through each step together.

Q: Do I need a website or branding first?
Nope. We can cover that inside the coaching—whether you’re starting from scratch or refining what you already have.

Q: How long will we work together?
You can book a one-time strategy session, or we can work together over several months for deeper support. I’ll recommend the best fit based on your goals.

Q: I’m on a tight budget—are there options?
Yes. If 1:1 coaching isn’t the right fit right now, you may be a great match for my Private Practice Membership.
