Starting a Therapy Private Practice
Whether you’re starting a therapy private practice or streamlining your existing counseling private practice, iTherapy makes it easy.
You became a counselor because you want to help people. You went through years of rigorous training to learn how to do it well. You know how to work with clients responsibly, you know the ethical standards to follow – you learned everything you need to run a private practice. …Right?
What you didn’t learn, is how to run a business. What do you need? How do you do it? How do you sort through all the options?
With iTherapy, we make that easy.
Whether you’re starting an online practice, an in-office practice, expanding your practice to include online counseling, or streamlining the management of your existing counseling practice, we’ve helped many other therapists in the same position you’re in and we know how to help.
We give you the tools you need.
What tools do you need when starting a therapy private practice? And to keep it running? You’ll probably want some HIPAA compliant secure communications like an email address and phone number. You’ll definitely need a secure way to take notes. Have you thought about payment processing & insurance claim filing?
We have.
We have all the tools you need to run your practice – notes, invoicing, secure communications and more. Don’t see a package that suits your needs? No problem. You pick the tools you need and we’ll package it together for you. Once you have your package, you can rest easy knowing there’s no varying costs – we bill our packages with a fixed monthly fee.
All the HIPAA compliant tools you need, all from one source with one fixed monthly fee. Simple and easy.
Online or in-office, our tools enable you to work how you want.
Also, every tool we offer is accessible anywhere with an internet connection. If you work in an office, wouldn’t you like an online therapist management service that allows you to review your notes and communications securely from home?
Want to provide an online counseling service? We have the tools to provide online psychotherapy including HIPAA compliant video therapy. Even our in-office providers find this useful for keeping in touch with clients while they’re on vacation or after they’ve moved across town.
We give you all the training and support you need.

There’s so much to know when starting a therapy private practice. Our training and support are second to none. As soon as you sign up, we’ll reach out to you to schedule your training.
Need more direct help in starting or managing your private practice business? We can help there too! Every member of our executive team has been a small business owner – we know small business. We offer business consulting as an add-on service. Want to know about LLC formation or tax information? We’ll get you that information.
We’ll make sure you’re confident as you get set up.
Once you’re set up with iTherapy, you're in control.
Once you’re trained on how to use the tools, you’re in control. Starting a therapy private practice means you get to decide what your hours are, who your clients are, and how much or how little you want to work.
Also, unlike other sites, we give you control of charging your clients. We have easy to use insurance clearinghouse services, but if you don’t want to deal with it, you don’t have to! Some of our providers only accept direct payment. We also let you decide how much to charge your clients. Some of our providers charge hundreds of dollars for each session they provide. Your income potential is up to you.
But you’re not alone.
Additionally we provide ongoing support to all our providers:
Your success is our success. We want to give you all the support, knowledge, and tools you need to be successful.
