Business Therapy helps small businesses and entrepreneurs solve
conflicts and focus on the marketplace...plus a whole lot more.

“... internal conflict is the largest source of stress, distraction and ultimately failure
for small start-up businesses.” --David Silverman, author of Typo

I am a psychotherapist in private practice. Iʼm also a Business Therapist specializing in the professional management of change processes with small businesses, non-profits, schools, religious organizations and entrepreneurs.

Business Therapy is a consulting niche in which psychotherapists utilize crossover skills to help small businesses solve problems and find better ways to do what they do. Objective listening and interpreting, creating laser-focused goals and pathways for achieving them, making determinations about the sources of current problems and bringing workable solutions to internal conflicts--these are some of the things Business Therapists do. Business Therapists also posses a talent for giving impartial, constructive criticism that others may not.

A typical Business Therapy project might be the examination of anything and everything a customer confronts when coming into contact with your business, especially that first time. One of the skill sets tapped into for this is what psychotherapists refer to as as Motivational Interviewing, or MI. In a business context, MI becomes a sales tactic which greatly increases the probability that your desired customer will successfully complete this interaction with you and sets the stage for continued business over time. A similar skill is that of understanding internal and external complaints about your current practices and channeling that information into workable commitments for change,
potentially affecting your future marketing tactics as well.

These services, while similar in nature to those offered by “high-end” business
consultants, are typically much less expensive with Business Therapists, a big benefit to
small businesses and entrepreneurs with limited resources who canʼt afford or donʼt
need a full service agency. (This is Continued.... for the complete document):
