Hello!
I’m Shirria. I am a mother of 5, a wife, and I enjoy working out and taking naps shortly after. I started my private practice because I have always enjoyed being the person that people said the hard things to, without feeling judged. I also have a passion for guiding people, like you, into the life they desire.
I started my virtual private practice, shortly after losing my Behavioral Health Manager position with the local health department during the pandemic. In that position, I had to complete credentialing with insurances, identify billing, establish policies, and see clients! It was that experience that lead me to developing my own private practice and seeing clients in the evenings while continuing to work full time as a medical social worker.
Within 3 months, my part time practice had made it’s first $1,000! Eight months later, I had grossed more than $5,000. I transitioned into full time private practice on February 1, and grossed more than $10,000 by the end of April. However, there were plenty of mistakes made along the way that I had to learn from. Mistakes that I want to ensure you avoid.
