Consulting
FOR THERAPISTS
with Lauren Winick, LCSW
I offer consultation for therapists who want help thinking through the clinical, emotional, practical, and financial realities of this work.
I bring the perspective of someone actively inside it: running a group practice, supervising clinicians, holding a personal caseload, building groups and events, managing policies and expenses, making hard decisions, and staying connected to the clinical heart of the work while also treating the business like a real business.
Some therapists come because they want to understand what is happening in the room with more depth and confidence. Some come because they are undercharging, overextending, avoiding decisions, struggling with marketing, or trying to build a practice that does not leave them resentful and depleted. Most are navigating the overlap, because the clinical work and the business structure shape each other constantly.
Consultation gives us space to look honestly at what you are carrying. We can talk through client fit, fees, boundaries, policies, clinical stuck points, group ideas, offer development, supervision dynamics, practice systems, marketing language, and the decisions you keep circling but have not been able to make clearly.
The work is thoughtful, direct, and practical. We make room for clinical complexity, money, ambition, avoidance, ethics, fear, sustainability, and the real-life constraints of being a therapist with a nervous system, a business, and a life outside the work.
"Lauren has that unique ability to motivate you to accomplish far more than you thought you could…
…but she does so while maintaining the nurturing empathy we all need. She is knowledgeable and intuitive, and her support has been invaluable to my career as a psychotherapist and entrepreneur."

Offerings
-
Clinical consultation is for therapists who want deeper support in their work with clients.
That might mean help with case conceptualization, treatment planning, stuck points in therapy, relational dynamics, therapist use of self, scope-of-practice questions, or working more skillfully with concerns like trauma, dissociation, eating disorders, body image, attachment wounds, burnout, identity, and complex family systems.
My style is thoughtful, direct, relational, and grounded in actual clinical work. I am not interested in abstract expertise for its own sake. I want to help you think more clearly, feel more solid in the room, and deepen the quality of the work you are doing with your clients.
Clinical consultation can be a place to refine your instincts, challenge your blind spots, strengthen your clinical voice, and feel less alone in the complexity of this work.
-
Business coaching is for therapists who want support building a practice that feels sustainable, aligned, and financially viable.
This may include niche development, offers, rates, practice structure, growth decisions, hiring, leadership, visibility, marketing, and the internal patterns that can quietly shape how you show up as a business owner.
I am especially interested in helping therapists build practices that do not require them to abandon themselves in the process. The goal is not to hustle harder or build the biggest possible business. It is to build something clear, strong, ethical, and supportive of your actual life.
This work is practical, honest, and personalized. We can look at what is working, what is not, where you are undercharging or overextending, where fear is keeping you small, and what it would look like to create a business that reflects both your values and your ambition.
-
A lot of therapists do not need only clinical consultation or only business coaching. They need space to think about both.
Because the truth is, your clinical work and your business are not actually separate. The way you think, lead, price, market, hire, set boundaries, tolerate uncertainty, and trust yourself affects everything.
For therapists who want support in both areas, I offer consultation that can hold the full picture. We can think together about your clients, your practice, your goals, your fears, your leadership, and the kind of work you want to build over time.
-
For therapists who want a more consistent, high-touch container, I also offer ongoing consultation over time.
This is a good fit for clinicians who want deeper support, accountability, and room to integrate what they are learning into both their clinical work and their practice.
Ongoing consultation may include:
individual sessions
a personalized consultation plan
reflection points and evolving goals
resources and tools tailored to your work
between-session support when needed
-
My role is to help you think more clearly, move more intentionally, and build something that actually fits.
You can expect honest feedback, practical guidance, thoughtful questions, and support that is responsive to where you are. No generic templates, recycled coaching language, or pretending every therapist and practice should operate the same.
-
Consultation is offered on a monthly basis, with structure determined by the scope of support you are looking for.
Monthly consultation begins at $350 per month and includes one 60-minute consultation meeting, between-session support, written meeting recaps, and action items to help you stay connected to the work between sessions.
For clinicians seeking more sustained support, we can discuss a higher-touch structure with additional meeting time, more frequent support, or a deeper focus on practice-building, clinical consultation, offer development, or ongoing decision-making.
We will discuss fit, format, and pricing during our consultation.
