Hey there, future ceo!

Graphic validating therapists who are overwhelmed by starting a private practice

If you’re reading this, you’re probably:

  • Sick of Googling “How to start a private therapy practice”

  • Stuck in analysis paralysis

  • Overwhelmed with all the “shoulds” and “to-do’s”

  • Scared of doing it wrong (and honestly, fair, there’s a lot of misinformation out there)

  • Excited, but unsure exactly where to start.

You’re smart. You’re skilled. You’ve got what it takes. But guess what?

They never taught us this stuff in grad school.

That’s where I come in. I’m Kyrsti Tam, CPA turned therapist, and I have helped hundreds of therapists just like you confidently go from “WTF am I doing” to “OMG I actually love my job again”.

I offer 1:1 coaching support so you can be empowered to confidently transition from burned out therapist to thriving, successful, and confident CEO of your business & life.

Check out my “Power Hour” and “Therapist to CEO” 8-Week Coaching Program below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
