Starting a private practice is one of the most meaningful steps a therapist can take — and one of the most complex. Between licensure, business logistics, and the emotional realities of going out on your own, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Our Private Practice Launch Consultation is designed to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a plan that reflects who you are as a clinician.

At Uptown Downtown Psychotherapy, we understand that no two paths to private practice look the same. Our consultants draw from years of experience running thriving practices in New York City to offer personalized, real-world guidance — the kind that bridges clinical insight with practical business strategy. Together, we’ll help you define your goals, identify next steps, and navigate the questions that come up along the way.

Whether you’re in the early stages of planning, preparing to transition from agency work, or already seeing your first clients, consultation offers a supportive space to think strategically and reflect deeply. You’ll gain tools for managing both the logistical and emotional sides of private practice: fee setting, marketing authentically, maintaining boundaries, and sustaining your sense of purpose in solo work.

Our goal is simple — to help you build a practice that feels both professionally sustainable and personally meaningful.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward building a private practice — or simply want to explore what’s possible — we’d love to connect. Whether you’re seeking individual guidance or want to join an upcoming group series, our team can help you find the right fit.
