Opening a private practice has always been my dream. It was no easy feat, but I managed it alone, without any major pitfalls. However, I still wanted to open a non-profit, something I have dreamed about running my whole career. I have always valued offering therapy services that are both affordable and high-quality.
So, I researched how to open a non-profit... and felt completely overwhelmed and very confused about the initial steps required. I put it on the backburner and decided, maybe this wasn't for me. I was still drawn to the idea however, and saw Lauren's free webinar that described her "Done For You" paperwork program.
I finally started to believe it might actually be possible again. So I decided to give it a try, knowing I would regret passing up this opportunity. Four months later, I am happy to say that I am officially practicing as a non-profit agency and just hired my first staff member! Lauren guided me through each required task in a way I could easily understand and process. She did this all with complete transparency and integrity throughout the process. Lauren offered support and guidance when I felt stuck understanding the legal terminology and she compassionately and kindly reminded me how and where to access what I needed.
Then there is the actual paperwork she provides as part of the program. WOW! She blew my expectations away! Lauren provided organized paperwork, including checklists, templates, and clinical documents. Her attention to detail, specific to my organization, shows her level of investment in helping each and every person/agancy she works with. Even after getting both state and IRS approval, I decided to participate in the additional coaching Lauren offers.
This has been priceless! She continues to provide support and guidance as I start the day to day operating procedures. I cannot thank Lauren enough! Doing this on my own felt insurmountable and now it's a reality!



Working with Lauren was a wonderful experience. She was incredibly informative, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was her ability to provide guidance in a way that felt encouraging and empowering. I always felt nudged toward growth rather than judged for where I was starting.
Lauren created a space where I felt comfortable asking questions, exploring options, and making decisions with confidence. Her approach balanced expertise with genuine compassion, which made the process feel much less overwhelming. I left each interaction feeling more hopeful, capable, and clear about my next steps.
I would highly recommend working with Lauren to anyone looking for guidance, support, and a thoughtful professional who truly cares about helping others succeed.
