You Built a Practice. Now Let's Build Something That Actually Scales.
Practical consulting for therapists ready to move from solo clinician to sustainable group practice, without burning out, guessing, or wasting money on things that do not convert.

What we'll focus on in ourĀ 60 minutes together:
Social Media and Online Presence
Most therapists are either overposting with no strategy or avoiding social media entirely because it feels performative and unclear.
We will look at whether your content is attracting the clients you actually want, why your messaging may be too vague to convert, and how to position yourself as a specialist rather than a generalist.
You will walk away with a focused content direction, not more noise.
Practice Growth Strategy
If you are thinking about moving from individual practice to group, this is where most clinicians make expensive mistakes.
We will map out when you are actually ready to hire, what roles to bring on first, compensation models that are sustainable, and the operational backbone most practices skip and later regret.
Managing Your Time and Energy
The shift from clinician to owner is not just logistical. It is an identity change. We will look at how to reduce clinical hours strategically, structure your week like an owner, and make decisions based on data instead of anxiety.
Professional Guidance From a Peer
Get direct answers to your questions about growing a practice from someone who has already done it, and who understands the clinical, ethical, and operational realities you are navigating.
Please Note: This is business consulting focused on practice growth. I am here to help you with your marketing and business operations. This is not clinical supervision, and it is not a therapy or mental health counseling session.
Hi, I'm Melissa Divaris Thompson, LMFT
I know what it is like to love your clinical work but feel overwhelmed by the business side of things. I am not a business coach who discovered therapists as a niche. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who built and grew a group practice and understands what you are actually navigating.
I spent years figuring out how to build a sustainable practice that reaches the right people online. Now I work with other practitioners to help them avoid the mistakes I made and build a practice that supports their life rather than taking it over.
This work is grounded in how therapy businesses actually function. Not hustle culture. Not productivity theater. Not copy-paste marketing tactics.
This is for you if:
Your caseload is full but your revenue is capped
You know you cannot keep trading hours for income
You have thought about hiring but feel overwhelmed by where to start
Your social media exists but is not bringing in the right clients
You are tired of trying random strategies that were not designed for therapists
You want a practice that supports your life, not one that consumes it
