Business Consulting for Therapists in NYC
Dr. Stephanie Simon
Helping Therapists Build Thriving, Sustainable Practices
As a clinical psychologist and the founder of a successful group practice in New York City, I understand firsthand the challenges—and rewards—of building a private practice from the ground up. Whether you’re launching a solo practice, expanding into a group model, or navigating the growing pains of scaling, you’re not alone. I now offer business consulting for therapists who want support, structure, and strategy to take their practices to the next stage—with clarity and confidence.
Who I Work With
My consultation services are designed for out-of-network:
Therapists in solo private practice
who want to grow or stabilize their caseload
Clinicians Transitioning from Solo to Group Practice
and need help with hiring, payroll, scaling and more
Established Group Practice Owners
seeking help with leadership, systems, or scaling
Therapists Feeling Overwhelmed
by the business components of a therapy practice
Whether you’re hiring your first clinician or trying to streamline your existing systems, I tailor our work to your goals and challenges.
How I Can Help
As someone who has built a successful group practice in NYC, I offer grounded, actionable guidance rooted in real-world experience. Common consultation topics include:
Private practice startup planning
Branding, marketing, and authentic therapist websites
Setting fees and navigating out-of-network billing
Ethical hiring and onboarding for group practices
Workflow systems (EHR, scheduling, admin support)
Managing growth and therapist burnout
Navigating leadership and team dynamics
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach—our work is collaborative, confidential, and aligned with your values as a clinician and business owner.
Why Work With Me?
I’m not just a consultant—I’m a fellow therapist and business owner who understands the emotional and logistical complexities of running a therapy practice in NYC. Through City Lights Psychology, I’ve built a group practice with integrity, clarity, and a commitment to clinical excellence. Now, I help other therapists do the same—on their own terms.
