Here’s what we covered: 💪 My early advice on setting up financial systems, choosing the right tools, and why separating personal and business finances is a game-changer. 💪 How thinking like a CEO can empower you to make smarter decisions and scale your practice with confidence. 💪 The importance of hiring the right support, whether it’s a bookkeeper to manage your finances or a consultant to help streamline your operations. 💪 The value of staying connected with your financials so you can make informed decisions and avoid stress down the road.

College student mental health is in crisis. 70% of students have struggled with their mental health since starting college, according to data from a U.S. News survey. The average annual caseload for a typical full-time college counselor is about 120 students, with some centers averaging more than 300 students per counselor. Jennifer Contarino Panning PsyD started her private practice in 2004 to help address this need. For the last 20 years, she's been serving Northwestern students in Evanston, Illinois. But it hasn't always been easy building a group practice for college students. Seasonality is especially difficult and there's a lot of client turnover. Business was good during the pandemic, but referrals have slowed down. This is an honest, vulnerable conversation about the realities of private practice.
