In this episode, Patrick Casale and Cameisha Brewer, a remarkable therapist, business coach, speaker, and author, delve into the world of private practice, therapy, and entrepreneurship.

Here are three key takeaways:

Prioritize self-care as a clinician: Owning a business not only grants you freedom but also allows you to prioritize your well-being. Remember, taking care of yourself is not a luxury—it's a necessity.
Embrace the business side of private practice: Understanding the entrepreneurial aspects of private practice is crucial for sustainability as a clinician. Don't shy away from the business aspects—they are just as important as the therapeutic ones.
Seek community and connection in entrepreneurship: Building a supportive community of like-minded professionals is essential in entrepreneurship. Find your tribe, engage in networking, and create a space where you can draw inspiration and support from your peers.

More about Cameisha:

As a therapist, business coach, speaker, and author, Cameisha is passionate about helping people prioritize their mental health. Whether you’ve heard her speak at an event or talked with her during a session, any conversation with Cameisha is intriguing and thought-provoking. Her extraordinary story of transforming her own life from being an orphaned teen living on public assistance to becoming a successful entrepreneur with a thriving business is the inspiration behind her bold mission to teach others that with God all things are possible.

Check out Cameisha's book, The CEO Clinician. The book focuses on therapists who are choosing to take on the secondary role of business owner and giving them permission to be human - to be anxious, while also providing them with proven tools to overcome those challenges so they can thrive as entrepreneurs.

Resilient Mind Counseling

It's Patrick. Some of you may know that I own a group therapy practice in North Carolina, Resilient Mind Counseling. We specialize in supporting the Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and Black, Brown, and Asian communities online and across North Carolina. We also have limited in-person openings at our offices in Asheville and Cary. We really love working with clients who are coming to terms with both Autism and ADHD discoveries later in life or questioning, as well as the intersections of race, gender, identity, and orientation. All of our therapists have lived experience and identify as AuDHD, Autistic, or ADHD. Our team of affirming therapists offers a safe, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and accessible space where you can show up exactly as you are—no masking, no judgment, and no need to make eye contact, just real connection and healing. We accept most commercial insurances like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Aetna, and Med Cost, as well as self-pay options. We currently have openings for new clients. Visit our website at resilientmindcounseling.com. You can also text or call our HIPAA-compliant phone line at (828) 515-1246, or email us at scheduling@resilientmindcounseling.com.
