The Kid Clinician was built on real experience growing a successful self-pay private practice, a top-ranked podcast and more, on top of 20+ years working with kids and families... so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Graduate school gave us the clinical skills. Nobody gave us the business behind private practice...
Then many therapists are left wondering why other practices are full and running smoothly while theirs feels stuck.
Things that nobody taught us, but what makes all the difference...
-
An office clients dream to walk into
-
School relationships that send consistent referrals
-
A cash pay private practice that runs on your terms, without trading hours for dollars
-
Pricing and fee that reflect your actual experience
-
A practice you love and a life you actually get to live

Hi, I'm Vanessa!
Vanessa De Jesus Guzman, LPC, NCC
I've spent 20+ years working with kids, as a classroom teacher, school counselor, and now a licensed therapist. Somewhere in there, I also got really good at pricing, systems, and how to actually run multiple businesses. I've since co-founded a coaching and community platform for other clinicians too.
As a first-generation Latina running a cash pay practice, I bring a cultural lens to this work that most clinicians don't have, and it's part of everything you'll find at The Kid Clinician.
Stuck in your practice? Let's figure it out together.
Sometimes what we need isn't another course or certification. It's one conversation with someone who has been on every side of this.
Business Strategy Sessions are available for licensed therapists who work with kids. Structured as an audit of where your practice stands, a plan built specifically for it, and time to refine it against what's actually possible for you. Bring your questions about practice structure, rates, therapy groups, therapy animal integration, podcasting, school partnerships, 504 letters, or anything else that's keeping your practice from running the way you want it to.
One conversation can change the direction
of your whole practice, and in turn, your life.
