"All information was practical and can be immediately applied. There is so much that isn't taught about opening a private practice in school, and this presentation was the most comprehensive training I've experienced about starting a private practice."
"I am excited to start my own practice and have a lot of work to do but I feel like I have a greater grasp at where to start and where to go from here."
"Reina was extremely knowledgeable, a great presenter and offered numerous avenues to follow up on. She made a topic that could have been dull, very colorful. After a long day, I am motivated."
“If you want a business coach who has been there and is doing the work themselves, Reina is it! She is authentic, transparent and open. She walks along side practitioners as we learn to work on our businesses, not just in the business. She created a safe place to ask questions and get feedback and support. The mastermind group is invaluable! It helped me narrow my focus and make progress in my practice. I felt supported and encouraged, but also accountable and challenged! Because of the Mastermind and Reina’s support, I’ve grown as a business woman and leader and my practice has grown exponentially!”
- Nicole Rainey
"This is my second year participating in Reina’s mastermind and - WOW! Reina is so skilled at creating a supportive group environment while skillfully inviting the participants to work at the edges of their mindset barriers. I’ve gained so much from being a part of the group, including the confidence to keep taking bigger and bigger steps forward in my business." ~ Jennifer Lawrence, ATR-BC, LPAT, LPC
"Reina's experience and wisdom are invaluable! The group space she holds welcomes everyone to show up with whatever level of experience and walk away feeling supported and resourced to continue building towards their goals."
-Frances
Hi, I am Reina Lombardi.
Going into private practice COMPLETELY changed the quality of my life!
When I took the leap, I am not going to lie, I was Terrified!
In a good way. It was the kind of fear that comes with doing something that you have always wanted to do. Something BIG! The fear that brings with it excitement, motivation and energy to see it through to the end.
I was afraid that I would not be able to earn enough to pay my bills. To save for retirement. To cover my own health insurance. To go on vacation.
I was afraid that I would have to work myself to death in order to come out on top. That I wouldn't be able to take time off for that vacation I feared I wouldn't be able to afford.
My biggest fear, by far, was that I wouldn't have the time and money to take care of those things because I didn't have the business and leadership skills to build and manage a business successfully.
In other words, the "What if I fail?" syndrome.
What pushed me forward was the question "What if I stay stuck?"
Stuck in a job where I felt like I was treading water.
Stuck with a caseload I couldn't keep up with.
Drowning in documentation.
Stuck working under leadership that imparted shaming messages that I was not doing enough in my role.
Stuck with constant anxiety about not meeting productivity (because my clients cancelled or no-showed) and trying to figure out how to make up those billable hours.
Stuck helping others, but feeling completely burned out and unable to do the work I was encouraging my clients to do to take care of themselves.
Stuck feeling like I was a fraud of a therapist. I mean, who was I to help others, when it felt like I couldn't do any of those things to help myself at that time.
Stuck with the overwhelming sense of dread that came on Sunday morning, knowing I had to go do it all over again the next day, week, month...
Stuck in an environment where I didn't feel valued, supported or mentored.
It was not easy to take that leap, but it is one that I will never regret taking!
My fears were lying little gremlins trying their best to keep me stuck.
What I learned is that the rewards from taking the leap were abundant!
I had more time off than I EVER had at any agency or educational setting.
I was earning MORE than I thought possible to earn as an art therapist!
I could AFFORD to go multiple vacations including trips I had always dreamed about! You know those ones from the "Bucket List."
Best of all, my stress levels plummeted!
I FINALLY had the FREEDOM to:
Within a few months of opening my practice, I had a full schedule.
Within a year of going out on my own, I created over 100K in revenue in my business and you can, too!
In fact, I got so busy so fast I needed to add on another art therapist to work with the clients I didn't have room for in my schedule. I now have 8 therapists and an office assistant that work with me in my practice.
SIGN UP FOR A 20 MINUTE ZOOM with me to see if this is the right choice for you.
If you haven't been part of a Mastermind Group before, it consists of other professionals with expertise outside of your zone of genius invested in their business growth.
This model allows everyone an opportunity to access the knowledge and support they need to thrive at an accelerated rate.
The first week will be a teaching workshop. I will teach and provide resources that support your practice growth. There will be plenty of time for Q & A.
Weeks two and three will be Hot Seat style group coaching. Each call will allow enough time for 2 hot seats. A member presents their challenge or problem of concern and receives support and feedback from the group.
We will have a Private Facebook Group, only accessible to members, where we can be of support in between meetings.
The meetings will be recorded and posted in the group for those that cannot attend live. Any resources shared in the teaching workshops will be posted in the notes section of the group for download.
Membership Fees are $150.00 a month for those that sign-up before 12/31/2023. Fees go up to $180 per month after.
You will not regret the time you spent to invest in yourself.
