I’m Allison Puryear, LCSW & I want you to stop circling the drain in agencies, & find more free time, income, & freedom in private practice.

Here’s what life can look like after the Abundance Party 🎉:

• When you’re full, you’re full. No out-of-control caseloads. No feeling guilty because you can’t see clients frequently enough.
• Work the hours you want to work. End your work day at 2, & pick your kids up from school. Never work a Friday again. Start your day at 11 AM. Whatever schedule you want works.
• Work exclusively with clients you do great work with. No more taking on clients just because a system or a supervisor said so.
• Make more money. In my first calendar year in private practice, I worked half the hours & made 3X what I’d made in my last job. Paying my bills without anxiety feels amazing.
• No more toxic work environments. I worked retail & food service for a decade, industries that don’t have the best reputation for healthy environments. They have nothing on the toxicity of the mental health agencies I’ve worked in.

If you’re struggling with:

• Burnout from work… & you know it isn’t your clients. It’s the system or your boss, or the sheer number of clients you’re expected to see. It’s not having any time to mentally rest.
• Disappointment that this job is just as toxic as the last job. We get our hopes up, but time & time again, we find ourselves in a different job with the same structural problems.
• Money stress. I’ll say it plainly – mental health agencies do not pay you enough to pay your bills, take vacations, save for retirement, take a weekly yoga class, buy a house, pay for kids’ college, or pay off your student loans. It’s not a personal moral failing if you are living paycheck to paycheck.
• No time or energy for friends or family. Having one more person ask anything of you after work makes you want to hide under a blanket. Or scream in your car. You’re so fried that meeting a friend for dinner sounds like a chore instead of fun. Your free time gets spent with Netflix instead of connection.
• Wondering if you should leave the profession? You devoted so many years of your life, money, & energy becoming a therapist, & now you’re miserable. It may even be making you sick. If there’s any part of you that wants to stay, I want you to please consider a guided path to private practice. We need great therapists in this world. Private practice lets you do the part you love without most of the bureaucratic nonsense that makes this hard.

If you’re ready to:

• Finish your work days with energy for the people you love.
• Learn & implement some new skills that are way easier than what you have learned in your career so far.
• Invest a tiny fraction of what you invested in grad school, so you can make 6 figures a year while working way less & on your terms. 

It’s what I wish I’d had...

I’ve been there. I told myself that if I had to work in a toxic agency for another year, I was going to quit & return to being a barista. 🙅‍♂️ ☕
It wasn't just that one job, either - it was four. With each, I thought if I just tried harder, took on more responsibility, maybe I could make a change. Instead, I worked more hours for the same pay & got a lot of "exceeds expectations" on my performance reviews. But nothing changed until I worked to change my mindset, & slowly private practice started feeling like a possibility.

So I dug in, did the work to learn how to run my own practice, & started thriving practices in 3 different states - working with my ideal client when & how I wanted while making a full cash fee. After helping tens of thousands of therapists quit their agency jobs, I know that overwork & burnout is the norm in our field, not the exception or bad luck I'd assumed.

I've also learned that private practice completely changes your life & is the key to a long, meaningful, & happy career. ✨

I want you to have this freedom, too. It’s why I teach you how to do it in the Abundance Party.
