I offer training programs and coaching for mental health professionals who want to launch their private practice or just need some extra support in their first few years.

The mission of The Counselor’s Mentor is two fold. The first is to guide and encourage counselors through each step of their professional career, from grad school to private practice. This site is for mental health professionals needing mentor for the “in between” stage. Going from student to employee can be tough; as can be the transition from non-profit to private practice. I’m here to guide on the “how to” of how to get to 6 figures and stay there.
My second goal is to reach, teach and inspire the community with mental health support and training. The tips are straight from me, Sarah Rivera, a mental health group practice owner and supervisor who has a zest to inspire growth in any person. The Mentor’s mission is to prompt professional development through supervision, consultation, community support, speaking engagements, and support to launch a private practice.
Learn How to Launch Your Private Practice
🌟 Hey there, mental health pros! This site’s your guide for that in-between career phase. While I love the clinical supervision period, owning a private practice comes in a strong second. I can recall the unexpected hurdles when I kicked off my solo practice back in 2017 and want to show you what I’ve learned. Let’s conquer those challenges together! 🔐🤗🚀
Learn from my private practice slip-ups. Avoid the same mistakes with my budget-friendly solution: the Launch Your Private Practice Online Program. It is a self-paced video program and outlines STEP BY STEP exactly what you need to do when starting your mental health practice. Imagine that private practice checklist 📝 supercharged with video modules, referral partners, visuals, and handy downloadable worksheets. Plus, a stash of useful links to power up your progress! 🚀📚🎥🔗
