Episode 169: Before You Lose a Tooth, Open Your Practice [featuring Denielle Rigoglioso-Lambert]

All Things Private Practice Podcast

In this episode, I speak with Denielle Rigoglioso-Lambert, a licensed professional counselor, certified substance abuse counselor, private practice owner, business strategist, and respected industry leader, about her inspiring journey and the evolution of careers in private practice, the multifaceted ways therapists can expand their impact, and the financial mindset shifts necessary for sustainable growth.

3 takeaways:

1. Risk-taking is essential for growth: Stepping out of comfort zones is necessary for both personal and professional development.
2. Multiple Revenue Streams: Diversify income by leveraging your existing skill sets in various avenues like coaching, speaking, and creating retreats.
3. Self-Care Leads to Better Care: Taking care of yourself enables you to be a more effective therapist, benefiting both you and your clients.

Note from Denielle:

I'm Denielle Rigoglioso-Lambert, your dedicated coach and mentor in the world of private practice. I'm not just a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I'm also a successful private practice owner, a seasoned business strategist for clinicians, and a respected industry leader.

My mission? To guide therapists like you toward greater freedom, increased income, and the elimination of burnout by helping you create your dream private practice. One that's tailored precisely to your unique needs, desires, and ambitions. Because I firmly believe that every healer deserves to thrive.

I know firsthand the relentless burnout that can creep in when working in community mental health and trying to juggle multiple jobs for a reasonable income. It left me exhausted, and my family was feeling the strain. That's when I took a bold step and launched my own virtual solo private practice.
