Welcome to the Ultimate Mental Health Private Practice Summit
Learn. Connect. Build
Are you ready to take your private practice to the next level? Whether you're just starting out, looking to grow, or aiming to sustain a thriving business, this summit will give you the tools, strategies, and community you need to succeed.Â
This isn’t just another event—it’s a game-changer for private practice owners and practitioners.
We’ll be using the SIPP Model of private practice growth and development, which breaks down the essential components of a successful practice:
- Self-Leadership: Master your mindset, develop confidence, and lead with purpose.
- Impact: Create meaningful change in the lives of your clients and community AND ensure that your practice has a positive impact on you.
- Profit: Build a practice that is not only sustainable but also profitable.
- Process: Establish systems and strategies to streamline and grow with ease.
Starting and growing a private practice can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. During this summit, we’ll demystify the process and guide you through both the crucial foundations and the essential components that make up a successful private practice.
Â
As mental health professionals, we often navigate the journey of private practice in isolation.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
At our summit, you’ll join a vibrant community of like-minded clinicians to explore:
Proven strategies for building a profitable and sustainable private practice.
Insights on how to stand out in a competitive market.
Expert advice on clinical best practices to enhance client care.
Hands-on tools and actionable steps to boost your confidence as a business owner.Â
Why Attend?
- Learn from industry experts and seasoned private practice experts who will guide you through every aspect of private practice.
- Connect with a supportive community of mental health professionals who understand the unique challenges of private practice.
- Build a thriving business with clarity, confidence, and a proven framework.
- Bonus: NBCC CEs (pending) are available, so you can invest in your professional development while earning credits.

Next Level Private Practice Summit Inclusion Disclaimer
Hi, I'm Rachel Bentley, LPC.
I built and currently run a practice of 35+ therapists, and now I’m hired by busy practice owners when they hit a wall in growing their practice OR if they do not have time to figure everything out on their own.
I created the Next Level Private Practice Summit because I have a passion for helping others in private practice build community and connection with others who get it.
If you're ready to move your practice to the next level, you'll love this opportunity to get out of the office and spend some strategic time getting perspective, thinking about where you are, and taking intentional steps to move toward where you want to go.
