Dear Friends and Colleagues,
This November marks ten years since I opened the doors to my private practice. Ten years of showing up, learning, adapting, and doing my best to hold space for others while figuring out what it means to build something from the ground up.
This milestone isn’t just about longevity; it’s about growth, resilience, and gratitude. I’m proud of what this practice has become, and I’m deeply thankful to everyone who has been part of its story.
When I started, I knew how to be a therapist, but I had no idea how to be a business owner. I took a leap of faith, and I reluctantly put myself out there. Everything I learned was entirely self-taught. I learned through trial and error, late nights, and the kind of lessons that only experience can teach. I’ve been in the spotlight, and I’ve been in the dark. Both seasons have taught me something valuable and shaped me in ways I’ll never forget.
It’s long hours, hard decisions, and a constant balancing act between caring for others and remembering to care for yourself. Being a business owner isn’t glamorous, and it’s rarely easy. But it’s meaningful, fulfilling, and profoundly human, making every challenge worth it because nothing compares to the privilege of witnessing someone heal, recover, and come back to themselves.
Here’s to a decade of meaningful work, and to the many lives that have been touched along the way.
With heartfelt thanks,
Amanda
