Business consulting, practice systems, and psychology-informed website design for therapists who want sustainable, grounded practice growth

Welcome! 

If you’re here, you may be holding more than you want to be.

You may care deeply about your clinical work — and still feel quietly worn down by the business side of practice.

The decisions that never really stop. The systems that feel half-finished. The sense that your practice technically works, but asks more of you than it should.

Many therapists arrive here not because something is wrong, but because they want their work to feel more settled, intentional, and sustainable.

Healing Pathways exists for that moment — when you’re ready to relate to your practice with more clarity, steadiness, and choice.

Ways to Work Together


BUSINESS CONSULTING

Strategic consulting for therapists and practice owners who want clearer systems, better boundaries, and decisions that hold up over time.


PRACTICE LAUNCHING

Support for therapists who are starting or re-structuring a practice and want to do it intentionally from the beginning.


WEBSITES FOR THERAPISTS

Custom websites built through the Attuned Design Framework™ — psychology-informed, client-attuned, and strategically structured.


BILLING & CREDENTIALING

Done-for-you insurance credentialing and billing support for therapists and small practices licensed in Illinois, focused on accuracy and income stability.


HIPAA COMPLIANCE

Clear, practical guidance and tools to help therapists understand and document HIPAA compliance without fear-based messaging.

COURSES & EDUCATION

Self-paced learning for therapists making thoughtful changes in how they practice—including transitioning from insurance to private pay.

Clarity and Regulation for Your Busy Life

Before making big changes, many therapists need a moment of steadiness — a pause that supports a regulated nervous system and grounded decision-making.

The Calm Week Blueprint is a free, practical guide to noticing where your energy goes, creating pockets of steadiness in your week, and relating to your work with more choice and less pressure.

Practice Tools & Digital Resources

Alongside consulting and services, Healing Pathways offers digital tools for therapists who prefer to work independently and at their own pace.

These resources are designed to bring clarity and order to parts of practice ownership that are often unnecessarily confusing.

MOST USED

HIPAA Compliance Kit for Therapists — a structured, therapist-specific toolkit for understanding and documenting HIPAA compliance in a way that is organized, realistic, and usable.

Healing Pathways Counseling & Consulting exists to support therapists with the parts of practice ownership that matter most but are often invisible: strategic decision-making, intentional systems, psychologically-informed design, and clarity in growth.

My work is grounded, practical, relational — and rooted in supporting your nervous system as you build a practice that feels steady and sustainable.

Let’s build a practice that reflects who you are.
