A successful private practice

You opened your private practice, now what?

More than half of therapists leave private practice within the first 2-5 years due to the challenges of owning their own business.

If they make it past 5 years, burnout starts increasing at alarming rates! Due to both emotional exhaustion and a lack of work-life balance, many therapists exit the field altogether after 10 years. Simply hanging out a shingle isn't enough, and marketing is just one of many challenges providers face when running their own business.

After years of helping my fellow clinicians as they transitioned to private practice, I developed Sharper Practice Consulting to formally help new and struggling private practice owners tackle these challenges head-on.

Together, we will help you identify the key stressors impacting you, develop strategies to strengthen both you and your business, enhance client retention, and prevent burnout—ensuring you build a resilient, thriving practice aligned with your passion for helping others.

What you get:

Tailored Support: Whether you require a one-time consultation or ongoing case collaboration, our one-on-one meetings can be customized to suit your schedule and clinical demands.

Emotional Focus: I help you prioritize your emotional well-being by navigating the challenges of private practice with greater ease and resilience.

Personalized Support: Guidance that addresses both the emotional and practical aspects of your practice, ensuring a holistic approach to your professional development.

Sustainable Practice: Build a practice that not only meets your professional goals but also sustains long-term career satisfaction.

I highly recommend Sharon Harper for anyone looking for a consultant. Her knowledge and support have greatly boosted my confidence and helped me steer my practice in a direction that feels right for me. Sharon is a fun loving, warm person who creates a safe space where you can talk openly.  Sharon's supportive and open-minded approach simplifies addressing challenges and overcoming barriers. Her sense of humor makes our sessions not just helpful but genuinely enjoyable. If you want someone who will truly invest in your growth and cheer you on every step of the way, Sharon is the perfect choice!
