Build Your Dream Private Practice—Without Burnout, Confusion, or Guesswork

The Private Practice Playbook is the exact blueprint I wish I had when I launched my PMHNP practice—clear, actionable, and created specifically for psychiatric nurse practitioners.

You’ve got the clinical chops, but let’s be honest— no one taught you how to run a business.


You’re out here trying to figure out how to start a business and now you have to think about coding thoughtfully, setting rates, and choosing website platforms on top of taking care of patients.

It’s exhausting. And it’s not your fault.

The Private Practice Playbook was built to change that.

Whether you’re just starting or feeling stuck halfway in, this is your step-by-step guide to setting up a streamlined, legally sound, and financially smart solo practice—
as a PMHNP.

So What’s In The Playbook?

✅ Legal & Business Setup:
LLC, EIN, NPI, malpractice, taxes, licensing—it’s all broken down with recommendations about what and where to start. You will need an accountant.

✅ Insurance vs. Private Pay:
Understand what works for your state, your goals, and your boundaries. When it comes to starting a business, there is no one-size-fits-all.

✅ Rates, Budgeting & Revenue Planning:
Learn how to set rates, map your expenses, calculate profitability, and pay yourself with confidence.

✅ CPT Billing & Documentation Basics:
A real-world overview of codes, billing timelines, and what to expect from getting credentialed with commercial insurance (aka payers).

✅ EMR, Website & Marketing Tools:
I’ll walk you through what tech you actually need, how to pick an EMR, and how to attract your first patients.

✅ Bonus Templates:
Business plan template, pricing calculator, and fill-in-the-blank worksheets, all to help you reflect on your needs/wants, then bring your vision to life.

You Need This Playbook

This playbook is for you if you’re a PMHNP who is:

  • Planning to launch your own solo practice

  • Already started but feeling overwhelmed by systems and decisions

  • Sick of guessing your way through legal, financial, or billing setup

  • Ready to finally feel like the CEO of your own career

Its Different From The Others

Because it’s written by a PMHNP.

Not a coach. Not a lawyer. Not a vague blog.
This is the resource I created because it didn’t exist when I needed it.
(I paid for what was out there and it was too vague).

You’ll get clear steps, real templates, and honest insights from someone who’s done it and helped others do it, too.
If you thought you needed to spend $10K on a course to start your practice… think again.

FAQs

  • Yes! Every checklist, CPT code reviewed, and chapter is tailored to psychiatric nurse practitioners. If you’re a therapist or other clinician, this might still help—but it wasn’t written for you.

  • The Playbook includes a starter-level breakdown of insurance billing, but for full CPT mastery, I recommend bundling with the CPT Code Clarity Course.

  • Absolutely. This is perfect if you’re in the planning stage—it’ll save you time, money, and a ton of headaches.

  • No. Just like you’d expect someone to seek out a medical expert for a medical problem, we expect you to seek out legal expertise for your legal problem. Starting a private practice is a BIG deal. We recommend you protect yourself & your business by working with a lawyer on your Consents for Care, Privacy Policies, etc.

Let’s stop the late-night Googling and second-guessing.

You don’t need to figure this out alone.
With the Private Practice Playbook, you’ll have everything you need to build your practice right from day one.
