Private Practice Mentoring
For Therapists
California, New York, & Nevada
Learn how to strategically plan, brand, and promote your practice.
Like many therapists, you have checked the four essential boxes: Education, Certification, Licensing, and Experience. You have been working in the mental health space for some time, have fully developed your clinical skills, and now you are ready to take the next step. Starting a private practice is one of the most rewarding decisions a therapist can make, but it can also feel overwhelming without the right guidance. At EB & Associates, our private practice mentoring for therapists in California, New York, and Nevada gives you a clear roadmap so you can launch with confidence.

Dr. Laura Escalona Barragan works directly with therapists across California, New York, and Nevada, offering personalized guidance built around your specific goals rather than a one size fits all course.
For Aspiring Practitioners
How to Start Your Own Private Therapy Practice
Starting a private therapy practice in California, New York, or Nevada requires more than clinical skills. It takes business knowledge, marketing strategy, and a clear vision for the practice you want to build. Many therapists spend months feeling stuck, unsure whether to register as an LLC, how to find their first clients, or how to set their fees. Our private practice mentoring program gives you a step-by-step framework so you can move from uncertainty to action with confidence. Whether you are a newly licensed therapist or an experienced clinician ready to leave agency work behind, we meet you exactly where you are.
