Dr. Kataleya ,

Definitely Give a Listen!

I am a therapist working very part-time due to recently having a baby and I LOVE listening to the entrepreneurial therapist podcast in the mornings! It helps me feel hopeful & inspired that I can continue being an entrepreneur as a mom! Thank you for being so authentic & sharing so much knowledge with your listeners Danielle!

Give it a listen

Danielle’s messages helped me build the courage to make the jump to private practice and now I’m building my life/ practice with her tried and trustworthy shares. She’s got her finger on the pulse of what’s next and shares it with us for free? That’s a yes for me! She speaks clearly and it’s not overwhelming— an important vibe check for HSPs or therapists with burnout coming out of community mental health.

Elizabeth_RD ,

So good!

I’m not a mental health therapist but I am a helping professional in private practice. Love the calming clarity, wisdom, and helpful recommendations that Danielle offers to build a successful private practice while tending to your own well-being.
