As a therapist in private practice, "no shows" or late cancellations stink. They mean, you lose out on money. It's discouraging, and it can make you feel like "What am I even doing...?" Here are my tips to avoid those!

On another note...

Is starting a private practice on your vision board for 2024?

Well, we've got 6 months to make that happen!

I’m so excited to share a brand new LIVE masterclass I’m hosting “How to Start a Private Practice in 30 Days Without Overwhelm.”

Here is the link to save your spot: https://www.janessaborges.com/masterclass/

If your goal is to replace your full time income and quit your job this is the event to attend.

After over 12 years in private practice I can tell you it was so worth it and I’ll never work for anyone ever again.

Not only have I been able to replace my income, but I make more (way more) than I ever did working my full time position, and my private practice combined all while working less than part time hours. But to be honest, that’s not even the highlight…

Private practice has brought me…
*the flexibility with my schedule
*the ability to be there for every single one of my kids school events & field trips
*being able to take off when I need or want to without asking for permission
*being able to choose my hours
*Choosing how many days I work and what days of the week I work
*Not being stressed out by administrators, supervisors or parents
*Not being spread thin or undervalued
*Being able to do things I didn’t have the bandwidth to do before
*Giving back to my community in a way that is aligned with my values without feeling like I’m self sacrificing my own growth

If your goal is to start a private practice within the next 6 months so you can replace your full time income and quit your job - I’ve got you covered.

Can't wait to see you there!
