Griffin Mallas: absolute piece of string cheese, so white… pickleball plays him. Griffin and some chick named Winden Rowe (vegan?) cofounded Build Your Practice. They help therapists and counselors crush it in private practice.
Their average student has no idea who their ideal client is, how to get them, or what to charge.
They’ve got a Psychology Today profile and a sad little website collecting dust.
Without a steady stream of high-paying clients, their practice hangs on by a thread. And that thread is badly frayed and dangling close to a sharp knife.
If you can relate, read on for Build Your Practice reviews.
What if there were a better system? Griffin asks.
Where perfect-fit clients came to you, happy to pay your full rate and eager to do the work?
Now you can approach therapy from a place of abundance rather than scarcity. You can deliver your best service.
Yes, it’s possible. Griffin and Winden will have these dream clients blowing up your phone in no time.
But let’s talk money.
Private practice therapists can make over $100 per hour, whether through cash or insurance.
At $100 an hour, if you saw 20 clients a week and worked just 48 weeks a year, you’d make $96,000.
If you bump that up to $150 an hour and did the same, that’s $144,000 on the year. That’s about 3x what an average therapist in an agency earns. While working less, right?
In some markets you might even get $200 an hour, which is $192,000 a year.
Ooh wee! That’s the stuff daddy likes!
Now you have freedom. Freedom to explore pro bono work, to put your kids through college, and to only work the days that you want.
Ask Winden. She’s been drowning in inquires every week for the last six years, even though she’s private pay.
Winden actually started her practice right after graduate school. Talking with others, she found many opinions but few answers.
So she had to trust her good friend: trial and error.
- She had to figure out her website
- How to manage her finances
- How to meet cooperative colleagues (not competitive)
It took months and hundreds of hours before things started to click.
But when they did? She got 10 clients per week. Then 15, then 20, until her calendar was bursting at the seams.
She had more referrals than she could handle. And an income that provided for her family, with plenty to spare.
Winden has continued building year after year. Today, she directs The Center for Change at Kennett Square. And she still maintains her successful cash-pay practice.
And here I have Target returns I’ve been putting off for an entire week.
Griffin met Winden on a Southwest flight. She shared her story with him over some light turbulence heading into Denver. Those damn Rockies.
At the time, Griffin was running his own ecom company while in grad school. He already knew how to get customers online.
So, duh: Why not combine forces?
And that’s exactly what they’ve done.
It took two years and thousands of hours building and refining their system, but it was worth it.
They’ve helped over 100 clinicians grow their practice as fast as possible.
Build Your Practice can do the same for you.
Attract perfect-fit clients, mash the gas, and make bank while transforming lives.
The secret is their right-brain, left-brain approach. Part business model, part soft skills. A thriving practice becomes the byproduct.
They’re so confident, they’ll guarantee you at least 10 new clients if you work with them. That, or you pay nothing.
Cost wasn’t mentioned. Reddit said similar programs will run you about $10k though.
I’m not a therapist, so I’m not buying.
But if any of Winden’s clients wanna trauma-bond over a drink, hit me up.
