You finish grad school, earn your license, and step into the field full of passion and hope, only to realize that when it comes to starting your private practice, you’re expected to figure out the business side on your own.

And suddenly, questions start piling up:

→ How do I even set up a business legally?

→ What should I charge (and how do I say it out loud without cringing)?

→ Is it bad I don’t know how to “market” myself or find my niche?

You’re not alone.
And you’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re just in the gap between “great therapist” and “confident business owner.”

Hi, I’m Nancy Cowden.

Founder of The Prosperous Therapist, author of The Prosperous Private 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 me and my clients.
