A clinician's business,
run like a real one.
I spent years inside Capital One running operations programs — the kind of work that ladders from intake to close to monthly review and only feels invisible when it's working. After that I consulted on AI integrations for healthcare-adjacent companies. PrivatePracticeOps is what happens when someone who builds operating systems for a living looks at how independent therapy practices get launched today and decides the answer is to do it properly.
The clinical work is yours. The business plumbing — credentialing, EHR, intake docs, website, Solo 401(k), continuity-of-practice, marketing playbook — should not be a six-month side project you build between client sessions. That's the problem this company exists to solve, vertical-neutral by design and starting with licensed mental health therapists in 2026.
The credentials that
actually matter here.
- Operations
Years at Capital One running operations programs — intake, throughput, monthly close, and the unglamorous work of making systems reliable.
- AI consulting
Healthcare-adjacent integration work since 2024. The AI session-prep deliverable in the retainer is built from that.
- HIPAA
HIPAA for Business Associates trained. BAA-ready language is inline near every deliverables list on this site.
- Honest
No fabricated testimonials. No upsell. Disqualification before the call, not after.
A licensed therapist
who wants out of a group
should not need to
become an operator first.
The two-hundred-hour business setup that sits between a clinician and an independent practice is the reason the move stalls. Every hour spent on credentialing applications, EHR configuration, and Psychology Today drafts is an hour not spent seeing clients — or an hour stolen from family, sleep, or the next license requirement.
The work isn't conceptually difficult. It's voluminous, sequenced, and unforgiving of context-switches. That's exactly the shape of work operations people are good at. We do it, we name what's included, and we hand the result over with the documentation a future hire could pick up.
I'll talk to anyone qualified.
Twenty minutes. No pitch.
Bring a state, a rough caseload number, and a runway truth. I'll tell you the offer that fits or that it's not the right time.
