Is this for you?

The Creative Clinician’s Corner is for therapists ready to take a leap of faith, challenge and empower themselves to take action in order to create a practice of their dreams. It is not for folks looking for a quick fix, magic potion, elixir, or system to gain blink-of-an-eye results as a substitute for consistently showing up and working ON your business. ON is different than IN. In is providing therapy, writing notes, submitting claims and collaborating with providers for your client’s care. We already know you are a pro at that. ON is about creating policies, procedures, plans and systems AND implementing them to ensure your practice becomes profitable and stays that way for years to come.

My Mission

I am passionate about empowering therapists to:
  • command fees they are worth to ensure that they can cover the business expenses AND be able to take care of themselves and their families,
  • map out a business structure that supports their career & personal vision,
  • understand the risks and liabilities of operating a private practice and implement strategies to buffer them,
  • understand how the “money” piece of private practice impacts ethical practice and implement proper policies and procedures to prevent mishaps,
  • consider and prepare for the legal aspects of operating a practice,
  • overcome their discomfort with marketing and create a marketing roadmap that matches their personality and produces results,
  • use their creativity to make a positive impact in the world, AND
  • move from a place of surviving the field to THRIVING in it!

My Story

The Creative Clinician’s Corner, LLC is The Practice Building Resource for Creative Psychotherapists. Grad school taught me how to be a therapist, how to do research and write academic papers. It did not, in any way, prepare me set up and manage a successful private practice. I always had dreams of owning a practice, but had absolutely idea how to do it. After 7 years of working in the field, I decided to take the dive headfirst with zero preparation. 

Fortunately, I landed as an independent contractor in a fabulous small group practice and learned through immersion. And, there is so much to learn! I took what I learned there and struck out on my own where I quickly realized I needed to learn even more and fast! I created this resource to help my creative colleagues get ahead of the learning curve by providing them with the skills and strategies that will help them Dream up, Plan out, Build and Scale the thriving private practice of their dreams. 

I decided to launch the Creative Clinician’s Corner after years of having colleagues request my help, guidance, and support on their path into private practice. Independent contractor in a group practice--I’ve done it. Launched a solo practice and brought it from nothing to full in less than six months-- yep, I’ve done that too. Grew that solo practice into a thriving, small, and continually growing group practice--running it now and loving it!. That is my goal for you - LOVE what you are doing AND make a decent living, too. I’m Reina Lombardi, a seasoned art therapist, mental health counselor and practice maven and I am thrilled to be in your corner offering education, resources, and support to help you build and scale your dream practice.
