I mean...we only

get one chance at this

life thing, right?

Every therapist deserves to create a

freedom-based lifestyle.

We only get one chance at this life thing, right?

Unfortunately, the deck is stacked

against

a freedom-based life

for most therapists.

We're the lowest-paid of the highly-educated professions

We lose money every break, holiday, and illness

We're very limited on who we can serve, and where, and how

Plus, therapy is heavily commoditized.

Every new

therapist-on-demand mega-corporation

hampers our ability

to make a good living.

But why shouldn't a

highly-educated,

intuitive,

creative therapist

have the right to build

a freedom-based life?

What if you decided that

you were allowed to:

Serve the clients you were born to serve: the ones who light up your spirit and bring out your best?

Create financial security for yourself and your family?

Squeeze the marrow out of life! Travel when you want, live where you want, work when and how it works for you?

Therapy might not give you that freedom... but your skills as a therapist WILL.

The explosion of

the coaching world

is the best thing to happen

for therapists

in decades.

As a trained therapist,

you can finally leverage all your

education and training to create the life you really want.

Understand how to package your services so you make money around the clock: not just when your butt is in the chair.

Work from anywhere, with anyone, in ways that leverage your expertise the most.

Coach people with non-clinical levels of need--meaning less stress and less burnout for you!

We have created a free Advanced Training on the 4 elements every therapist needs to create an

ethical, successful,

freedom-based

coaching business!

Is a freedom-based lifestyle possible for you?

(Don't you owe it to yourself to find out?)

So what happens to therapists

who carefully, ethically

add coaching services?

We'll let our clients tell you in their own words

👇

Just had my first coaching session. I think it went well! I loved how it felt. I think I like this better than doing therapy!

Alison Myers

I just want to take a moment to hail gratitude for what Katie is doing with this program. We (as therapists) make incredible (better!) life coaches!

Kayna Cassard

What she is teaching that has helped me is more about marketing, nuts and bolts of the business of coaching, and so much more support and guidance.

Laura Reagan

Introducing the Clini-Coach® Academy!

We are the only Coaching Certification + Business Incubator exclusively for mental health professionals 💛

Why do we need

a program like this,

made just for us?

Because you and I both know

that we have unique challenges as

therapists expanding our services

We have a unique Code of Ethics to adhere to.

We have specific rules to follow around marketing.

We have unique insurance and legal paperwork needs.

We need to be utterly distinct about therapy issues vs coaching issues.

Usually we come from zero training in marketing, business, or entrepreneurship.

The Clini-Coach® Academy was created to do 3 things:

01.

Give therapists freedom-based lifestyles using skills they already have.

Therapists make the best coaches, course creators, and consultants, bar none.

02.

Give therapists a community of like-minded, forward-thinking peers.

Your future besties are not the Facebook-therapist-group-trolls. They're creative, intuitive, big thinkers propelling their lives forward...just like you.

03.

Establish a certification that lets the public know we are a higher level of coach.

Your work, your training, your years in the field: those deserve to be recognized. The Clini-Coach® Certification sets you and your work on a higher plane.

So how do we achieve these

lofty goals?

Well, we give you UNLIMITED 1:1 coaching

with a large team of experts, for one...

and we even PAY YOU to be successful...

but more on that in a minute.

We use our proprietary

3-track Clinician-to-Coach® Formula:

01.

Coaching Freedom

Here you'll learn every last detail about coaching vs. therapy, how to actually coach, how to protect your license and honor your ethics, and so much more.

02.

Entrepreneurial Freedom

Your freedom-based life starts with building a successful online business...and we've built most of the tech and tricky stuff for you already!

03.

Mindset Freedom

We therapists are notorious for knowing all the right skills, but not quiiiite applying them to ourselves. No more. This High-Performer track will get you doing the things our most successful clients do, day after day.

With this 3-track system, we move you through from

successful therapist to freedom-lifestyle coach

(or consultant...or course creator)

step-by-step, week-by-week.

So...who are WE?

Well, I'm Katie Read.

I've been a

private practice therapist,
grad school professor,
clinical supervision director,
community mental health director,
creator of therapy-training materials,
conference speaker,
...and more!

I'm the creator and founder of the Clini-Coach® Certification and the Clini-Coach® Academy!

I'm also a special-needs mom with a bone-dry sense of humor and a narrowly-sub-clinical coffee addiction.

Moving into coaching helped me finally achieve FREEDOM!

Creative freedom.

Lifestyle freedom.

Financial freedom.

Now all I want to do is help

my fellow therapists do the same!

BUT...and this is important:

When you work with me, you're not relying on

JUST ME

for your success.

At the Academy, we employ a large group of experts

and give you

👉UNLMITED 1:1 COACHING👈

with all of them.

👆 Read that again. 👆

You'll have unlimited access to:

Still not sure?

Let's go through the What-Ifs:

But Katie, what if...?

Here are a few answers to our most common questions.

What if I'm ridonkulously busy and only have 7 minutes a week to myself?

Probably not a great time for you. We recommend 5 hours a week at minimum to devote to the work--and more if you know you learn more slowly. This undertaking requires passion, excitement, and commitment!

What if I'm 45+ years old (ahem) and struggle with technology?

Welcome aboard! You literally just described about half of our clients...and our fearless leader! We have made this as easy and step-by-step as humanly possible! You'll be wowed by our 55+ crowd who have created some of our favorite sites ever with ZERO tech background!

What if I hate social media and refuse to use it except to post my awesome cat?

Ok real talk. Social media is a necessary evil in online business growth. All the programs that promise miracles without social media are, if we may be so bold, lying. Building a website and doing some blogs or podcasts is simply not enough to build an audience, and you need an audience to have a sustainable online business. We make social media as painless as possible because it drives us crazy, too....but yes, you have to be willing to engage with it.

What if I have no idea what my coaching niche would be?

You're gonna like it here! No one knows! Well, that's not true, but even people who come in with an idea for their niche often change it considerably after going through all of our profitable-niche modules. We won't send you out into the world with a stinker, and we WILL help you find a niche people want...and you are passionate about!

What if my favorite pastime is being a Facebook group troll?

Move along Betty! We have curated what clients have called "the best group on the internet," and we do interviews to keep it that way! We are positive, supportive, and way too busy celebrating our various wins to ever fall into negative-Nelly-therapist mode. We are open to cutting-edge therapists who freely give and receive support with others.

What if my nerves keep telling me I should put it off?

Possibly no problem, possibly a bad idea. We run at capacity and only have a few open slots at any given time, plus a Waitlist. I've also done a few videos about my $150k mistake! Basically, I also kept putting off taking the plunge into coaching. When I finally did, I made $150k my first year and was absolutely kicking myself for not just starting when my gut was saying, "Go go go!" If I had, I would have been $150k further ahead!

What if I tried before and failed?

You just didn't have us. Period. No one else offers this much comprehensive programming + unlimited 1:1 coaching + daily support + community + a whole team of experts plus plus plus. If you've succeeded at other things in your life, AND you give yourself the gift of this incredible level of support, there is no reason you can't have a coaching business you love up and running in 6 months.
