I Love Helping Therapists Start Successful Private Practices

Hey There!

I’m Jennifer O’Neill, LMSW, LCSW

I created this site because I adore mentoring other therapists. I’ve had so many conversations over the years with people just like you, starting out in private practice. At some point in the conversation, they always end up saying, “Wow, thank you! This is so helpful!” After yet another person told me, “Hey, you should teach a class on this stuff.” I decided it was time to actually do it.

I sat down, opened my laptop, and started writing. The Master Course wrote itself. Soon after, I started expanding the ways I help therapists new to private practice. I love this stuff. I’m excited to bring it to you!

But who am I and why should you listen to me? I mean, that’s the question if you’re plunking down your money hoping for some sage advice. I’ve been around for a moment. I’ve been in the mental health field since 1987 (I know right?!). I’ve been a therapist since 1997. If you’re doing the math that’s… well, it’s a long time. Over 25 years. Man, how did that go by so fast? But it has. I still love it.

I started my therapy career at a wonderful agency in California called the Early Childhood Counseling Center. While I was there, in addition to my therapy work, I also enjoyed supervising other therapists and graduate students. I served as both the Clinical Director and then the Executive Director. Being the head honcho reminded me I’m a therapist, not a big boss (even though I can be bossy). I left the agency after 10 years and started my first private practice in California. In 2011 I moved to Michigan where I started my second practice. In 2021 I moved (again) to Texas where I started my third private practice! I offer online sessions to clients in California, Michigan, Texas, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Florida.

I’ve also been right where you are right now. Three times. I’ve built not just one, or two, but three successful private practices. So, I know you, I feel you, and I get you. I can help. I know what you need to know. Even those things you don’t even realize you need to know yet. Some of them took me years to figure out. Don’t be me. You don’t need to waste all that time and energy. You seriously don’t need to end up a stressed-out mess trying to figure out what you need to know. Soak up my wisdom and hard-earned knowledge right here. I’ve got your back!
