Most of the time, we think of businesses only motivated by money. John, LPCC  and business coach working with therapists in San Francisco,  wants to change that. As he had therapy at a young age, he wanted to pursue it as a career. He continued his education up to a doctoral program where he wanted to teach therapists the business side of the work.

 Although John noticed faculty weren't backing his proposal, he still wanted to continue helping others. After a retreat where Kelly was speaking, he made the difficult decision to cease his Ph.D. program. Now John works with therapists his own way: Business Made Human. He created his business to help therapists create a purpose-driven practice.

Miranda and John talk about the issues therapists have transitioning from agency work to their practice. John discusses how important it is to have a vision and its effects on your practice as a whole. He also wants to remove the stigma of receiving help for clients and therapists alike.
