Nurse psychotherapy
PRIVATE PRACTICE CONSULTATION
Tailored to RN Psychotherapists Practicing in Ontario, Canada.
It starts with a vision — launching your own private practice, stepping into independence, and building something that reflects your values. How you share your story can make all the difference.
“I used Abigail as a nurse psychotherapy consultant for the development phase of my own practice. I actually met with 5 nurse psychotherapists, but Abigail was the only one who provided me with genuine insight into how to go about starting a practice. I reached out on whim asking her to meet when I saw she was offering consulting, and she was kind enough to see me within 3 days. She walked me through everything from navigating the CNO, insurance, branding, and marketing. Truly I benefited more from our session together than I did with any other consultant.
She is beyond easy to talk to, she’s super funny, and she’s able to offer insight through the lens of an emerg nurse who has actual expertise in dealing with operating a nurse psychotherapy practice.
Cannot recommend her enough, and I’m eternally grateful to her. My only regret is not reaching out sooner!”
- Becca Verde RN, BScN, Nurse Psychotherapist
