Build the Private Practice You’ve Been Thinking About

Coaching for bilingual therapists ready to go from group practice, agency, or hospital work into a private-pay solo practice.

The VIVA Mind Method

A step-by-step framework to help bilingual therapists build and grow a private-pay solo practice.

V — Vision
Get clear on the practice you actually want to build — your goals, schedule, services, ideal clients, and long-term direction.

I — Infrastructure
Build the foundation: business setup, systems, policies, technology, pricing, and the behind-the-scenes operational pieces you need.

V — Visibility
Clarify your niche and positioning, strengthen your online presence, and create marketing and referral strategies that help the right clients find you.

A — Action
Turn the strategy into consistent implementation with a realistic plan to launch, transition, and grow your practice.

You didn’t become a therapist to feel overworked, underpaid, and stuck building someone else’s dream.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about private practice for months — or even years — but every time you start researching, it feels like there are a million things you’re supposed to figure out.

LLC. EIN. NPI. Policies. Pricing. Marketing. Niching. Websites. Clients.

And suddenly you’re like… where do I start?

That’s exactly why I created the VIVA Mind Method.

You don’t need another random checklist from Instagram.

You need a clear plan.

The VIVA Mind Method is a step-by-step coaching program designed to help therapists build a sustainable, private-pay solo practice without trying to piece everything together on their own.

Inside the program, we work through the foundations of building your practice—from setting it up correctly to positioning yourself, pricing your services, building your online presence, and developing a referral ecosystem that brings the right clients your way.

This is for you if…

You’re currently working in a:

  • Group practice

  • Agency

  • Hospital or healthcare setting

  • Community mental health position

  • Other employed therapy role

…and you keep thinking:

“I know I want my own practice. I just don’t know how to make the jump.”

Maybe you’re worried about getting enough clients.

Maybe you have no idea what to charge.

Maybe you’ve already created the LLC and Psychology Today profile, but your caseload still isn’t growing.

Or maybe you’re simply tired of giving so much of yourself to a job that doesn’t give you the flexibility, income, or freedom you want.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

What We Work On

Practice Foundations

Set up the legal and operational pieces of your practice so you know exactly what needs to happen before opening your doors.

Your Niche + Positioning

Get clear on who you help and how to communicate what makes your work different — without feeling like you have to fit yourself into an overly specific box.

Private-Pay Pricing

Learn how to set rates that support the business and life you actually want instead of automatically charging what everyone around you charges.

Your Online Presence

Build the pieces potential clients need to find you, understand what you do, and feel confident reaching out.

Referral + Marketing Strategy

Create a referral ecosystem so your entire business doesn’t depend on posting on Instagram every single day.

Transitioning Into Solo Practice

Develop a realistic plan for moving from employment or group practice into your own practice without feeling like you have to quit tomorrow and hope for the best.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Stefany.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, private practice owner, trauma therapist, doctoral student, and the founder of VIVA Mind Therapy.

I know what it’s like to work in systems where someone else decides your earning potential, schedule, and freedom.

I also know what it’s like to build something of your own.

I transitioned from traditional therapy settings to building a solo private-pay practice, and now I help other therapists understand the business side of doing the same.

I created the VIVA Mind Method because therapists receive years of clinical education and almost no education on how to actually build a business.

And being an amazing therapist does not automatically teach you how to become a business owner.

That part can be learned too.
