Private Practice Support for Mental Health Professionals

Hi My name is Sarah Rivera. I’m a group private practice owner in San Antonio, Texas. When I’m not running my practice, La Luz Counseling, I help mental health professionals like you become confident with private practice business ownership. 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. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a self-starter and go-getter. That’s great, but just know you don’t have to go at it alone. Find guidance from someone who has been where you are. Get support during your private practice journey from launch to growth.

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 β€œin between” stage.Β 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.Β 

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 ownerΒ 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 know I can count on her for insight and support"

As I prepared to open up my own private practice, Sarah was incredibly helpful in easing my fears (I HAD MANY). She was able to walk me through some of the most stressful parts in detail, such as the financial considerations, keeping the business, secure, and what to keep in mind when marketing the business. She is helpful in and out of the consultation meetings.
