(#147) She Left Her Therapist Job During the Pandemic and Built Multiple Streams of Income (Guest: Laurie)
Born and raised in a generation that doesn’t have access to mental health services, Laurie stepped up and developed herself to function as a catalyst of change in the society. Driven by her personal struggles growing up and the gap that’s noticeable in the school counseling field, she decided to open her own practice to further extend her expertise to her community. Her approach to tapering down sessions with clients is highly admired where she helps them build their own toolbox so as not to be dependent on her therapeutic services.
Today’s guest is a proud alumni of the Dope Therapist Academy and a current student of the Elite Coaching Mastermind. Tune in as she takes us to her personal and professional perspective on growing and scaling her own private practice, implementing her framework to clients, and faithfully pursuing her goal to generate multiple streams of income.

Standout Quotes from Laurie:
- "That's one big thing about my practice: We get to the root of things because I cannot counsel or help you through the 40-year-old you when you’re still stuck at the 15-year-old you. So my ideal client is ready to acknowledge and work through the 15-year-old them first..." (05:36)
- "Another big thing I wanna highlight is the TRANSPARENCY; that I do not have a co-dependent. That was one thing that stood out to me because I'm like, wow that is a compliment; she's letting me become dependent on the skills that she's taught me and not be dependent on her." (13
