Most of us didn’t get into therapy because we dreamed of being business owners. We wanted to help people. We wanted to do meaningful work. But somewhere along the way, we realized that to have the freedom and flexibility we crave, we’d need to go into private practice —and that meant running a business.

Which meant dealing with money.

Enter: panic.

Linzy Bonham, a former trauma therapist turned financial coach and educator, knows this all too well. When she started her own practice, she quickly noticed that no one was talking about how to manage the financial side of things. There was no roadmap for how to save for taxes, track expenses, or figure out if you could afford to hire help. So she built one—and in the process, uncovered something deeper:

Meet Linzy Bonham

Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps fellow therapists feel calm, confident, and in control of their finances.

The daughter of an accountant, Linzy brings a unique blend of therapeutic insight and financial savvy—half therapist, half bookkeeper. When she entered private practice, she immediately dove into learning how to build a sustainable business that could support her life and keep money in the bank.

Along the way, she noticed something troubling: brilliant, compassionate colleagues were struggling with the financial side of their practices. Some avoided private practice altogether, while others left because the stress of managing money felt overwhelming.

So Linzy decided to combine her people skills with her bookkeeping brain—and Money Nuts & Bolts was born.

Today, she helps therapists develop peace of mind around money. Since most therapists were never taught how to manage finances, Linzy focuses on making the “how” approachable, doable, and even enjoyable. (Because feeling competent and calm about your money? It’s pretty great.)

Her signature course, Money Skills for Therapists, has helped hundreds of therapists in (or preparing for) private practice get their finances in order and shift their relationship with money.

She also offers Money Skills for Group Practice Owners, a course that guides practice owners through mindset work, systems, key numbers, and leadership strategies—so they can become confident, empowered CFOs of their own thriving practices.
