For Ontario Registered Psychotherapists

Open your own practice in eight weeks. Keep what you earn.

You have the hours and the clinical skill. What you do not have is three spare months to work out registration, insurance, consent documents, a website and where clients come from.

That is the part we do with you.

Median Ontario RP fee $175 across 24 published practices 17,381 registrants with the college Registration to seeing clients: 2 weeks $3,000 over six payments
01 The arithmetic

The split is the whole argument.

Forty sessions a month at $175, keeping fifty-five percent, leaves about $37,800 a year with the clinic. For that you get a booking system, a room you use by video anyway, and referrals that dry up the moment they hire someone newer.

The question is not whether you could do this alone. You could. The question is whether you want to spend a year finding out in what order, and which of the two things with real waiting times you discover too late.

01Professional liability insuranceBound before you see anyone. Nothing else in a launch matters until it is done.Days
02Carrier registration for text messagesUntil it clears, your appointment reminders are filtered and you do not know it.10 to 15 days

Everything else is fast. Both of these start in your second week with us.

02 What you get

A practice, not a course.

  • A website, built and live on your domain. Not a template you fill in alone.
  • AI agents installed on your own machine, knowing your voice and your college's advertising rules.
  • Your practice software configured: services, buffers, booking rules, intake, consent, receipts, card on file.
  • Nine draft documents for consent, privacy, cancellation and telehealth, to adapt and take to a lawyer we introduce you to.
  • A fee schedule and service menu, set from what twenty-four Ontario practices actually charge.
  • An advertising structure, three creative concepts and a landing page.
  • A consultation script, rehearsed with you until asking for the booking stops feeling like selling.
  • Every account in your name, on your card, working whether or not you keep working with us.
03 The eight weeks

Seven meetings, then six monthly calls.

07MeasureYour own dashboard. What a client costs, what a client is worth, what to change.Week 7

Most people see a first paying client in week three or four, and it comes from people who already know them. Advertising is what replaces that source once it runs out, and it starts producing around week seven.

04 What it costs

One number, six times.

$3,000in six monthly payments of $500

After month six the same $500 keeps your front desk, your site and your agents running, and you can stop then.

Practice management software$54 to $79
Business email$9.20
Phone and text$15 to $25
Professional liability insurance$20 to $40
Website, hosting and analyticsIncluded

Roughly $150 to $210 a month to run a practice once you are open. Month one costs about $50, because you buy things in the order you need them. We show you the whole list before you spend anything.

05 Is this you

We turn people away.

This is for you if
  • You are a Registered Psychotherapist, not Qualifying
  • You are past 1,000 direct client hours and 150 supervision hours
  • You work at a group practice or agency and keep half to two thirds
  • You have clients who like you, and a few months of runway
  • In two years you want other therapists working alongside you
It is not, if
  • You are still Qualifying, or still under supervision
  • You want a guaranteed income by a certain date
  • You want a clinical supervisor rather than a business one
  • You want income from other therapists without being the person they escalate to
06 The honest part

What we do not promise.

We do not promise you a number of clients, an income, or a full practice by a date. Anyone who does is selling you something.

What we commit to instead: complete every weekly checklist, and if your calendar has not started to fill, we keep working with you at no extra charge until it does.

We also do not give legal, accounting, insurance or clinical advice. The documents we supply are drafts and examples for you to adapt and put in front of your own lawyer. A lawyer, an accountant and your own college answer the questions that depend on your situation, and we introduce you to the first two at a fixed fee.

We built and ran a virtual healthcare practice in Ontario: the booking system, the confirmation sequences, the advertising, the compliance, the analytics. On the call we will show you our own numbers, including the money we lost learning which parts do not work. Most people teaching this show you only the wins.

07 Questions

Before you book.

Could I not just do this myself?+

Yes, and some people should. What you are buying is the order and the speed. Two things have real waiting times, insurance and the carrier registration for text messages, and most people meet them late. If you have three spare months, do it yourself.

Do I have to incorporate?+

No. You operate as a sole proprietor and register a practice name for $60. A corporation costs roughly $1,700 to $3,200 a year and only returns anything on money you leave inside it, so it is worth revisiting when you can retain about $40,000 a year. That is your accountant's call, and it is not part of this.

What about my current contract?+

Since October 2021 non-competition clauses in Ontario employment contracts are generally void, with narrow exceptions, while non-solicitation clauses are a different thing and often hold. Your lawyer reads your contract in week two. Do not act on a summary, including this one.

How much of my own time will this take?+

About thirteen hours in meetings and fifteen to twenty hours of your own work across the eight weeks, most of it in weeks four and five. Then about twenty minutes a week on your numbers.

Can you guarantee clients?+

No. We will show you our own numbers on the call, including the losses, and you can judge from those.

08 The next step

Start with the number.

Put your own figures into the calculator at the top of this page. If what your clinic keeps in a year bothers you, book a call.

Thirty minutes, no charge. We put your numbers into the model together and tell you honestly whether this is worth doing. Sometimes the answer is that your split is good and you should stay.
