Helping Mental Health & Neurodivergent Business Owners Doubt Themselves & Do It Anyway
If you’re like me, I imagine you want to play by your own rules and BREAK THE MOLD!
If you Fuc*ing hate working 9–5 — punching the clock 40+ hours a week for a job where you feel confined to a box — then you’re in the right place.
Small Business Ownership may seem like a pipe dream — something that is only for “wizard-like” mental health entrepreneurs who have 900 certifications and credentials or have “put in their dues” at their community mental health (CMH) jobs.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
It’s easy to get caught up in negative thinking and let others tell you that small business startup is tooooooooo hard or that it’s impossible to be successful.
Grad school doesn’t do us any favors — never mentioning or talking about private practice or business startup.
If you asked about starting a private practice business, you probably heard something like: “We don’t encourage newer clinicians to go right into private practice..."
I always wanted to ask: "WHY THE HELL NOT?”
I still remember my last day at my CMH job when my manager told me, “You’ll be back in 30 days because nobody makes it on their own.” Talk about motivation to never go back!

Since my last day in community mental health, I have helped thousands of mental health therapists start and grow their businesses.
Helping you with the private practice startup, rates, niches, logistics, etc. is the easy part. Helping you embrace who you are and how you want your business to show up in the community, as well as capture your authentic voice, is the really POWERFUL, important stuff.
I know what it feels like to feel under-appreciated, taken for granted, overworked, and underpaid. I also know what it’s like to question my choices and abilities at every turn, every step of the way, throughout the entire process!
I even sometimes think that my actual name is Patrick Self-Doubt Impostor Syndrome Casale.
As therapists, we’re NOT meant to be robotic, head nodding, blank-slates, regardless of what CMH and Grad School told you.
You are ALLOWED to be YOU!
You are ALLOWED to Embrace your Neurodivergence, your creativity, your weirdness, and your personality. You’re allowed to swear, show your tattoos, quote your favorite movies, and most importantly, you’re allowed to be AUTHENTIC!
"You attract the right thing when you have a sense of who you are." - Amy Poehler
Ever feel like you are Someone who has all of this unbelievable skill and creativity to bring to the world but can't because you have too many roles, not enough time or energy, and, oftentimes, not enough belief in yourself?
If you feel overlooked, unseen, “weird or different,” or like you cannot take up space or use YOUR voice, I am here to help you FULLY embrace who you ARE!

TESTIMONIALS
"First and foremost, I overcame my fear of traveling internationally! The risk was worth it and I’ve learned so much about how to run a thriving private practice while nurturing and developing professional relationships. Patrick is an amazing host and I’m looking forward to attending more in the near future."
"The connections made with mental health entrepreneurs around the world. I’ve gained wonderful friendships while learning tools to streamline my private practice. Not to mention, all of the locations have been beautiful and rich in local culture. I now consider Spain a second home."
- Mina R, Therapist
"So many connections, inspiration, support, and community. Lifelong business besties and friends that I can truly count on for business and life things! Being able to see beautiful new locations, embrace local and authentic cultural experiences, while learning and growing in our business is something that is unmatched. For me, I need an extra push sometimes to "do the thing" - plan the trip, book the plane ticket, launch the course, build the practice. These retreats combine the extra supportive nudge for all of those things, all in one place."
"I recommend these 100% without a doubt, if my attendance at 5 retreats in 3 years does not already indicate *wink* And.. Join me in Scotland in 2025!!!! It will be epic!"
- Brittany B, Therapist

TESTIMONIALS
"Recommended 100%. I plan to attend one a year forever unless I am able to do more than that. I look forward to Belize next month. Thanks for all you do Patrick. These events are life-changing. Since returning from Italy, I’ve found my voice and been able to be more authentically me. I appreciate this so much. Being in a room/small castle city within Italy with 70+ therapists felt liberating and literally brought me to tears by the end, as I had yet to feel such freedom to be myself. Everyone was so warm and comforting, easy to get along and get to know. "
"The excursions were flexible and you could stay back if you needed to, and all was accommodating for neurodivergence of course. So not only were the location and the presentations carefully selected and empowering, the people you get to spend time with make it even more special. Someone else described it as a grown up summer camp. I plan to attend one a year forever unless I am able to do more than that. I look forward to Belize next month. Thanks for all you do Patrick. These events are life-changing. Since returning from Italy, I’ve found my voice and been able to be more authentically me. I appreciate this so much. "

TESTIMONIALS
"Attending retreats facilitated by Patrick has been a transformative experience. As a queer, AuADHD therapist, I often navigate unique challenges in my personal and professional life. These retreats provided a safe and inclusive space to connect with like-minded peers, recharge, and explore my identity and practice on a deeper level. "
- Tiffany C, Therapist
"Patrick is one of the most prolific, engaging speakers that I’ve ever seen. His ability to interweave his lived experience with his professional expertise creates vulnerability, relatability, and motivation. I can’t wait to see him speak in Colorado at his TEDx."
- Jonathan D, Therapist
"Wow! Just, WOW! I just got to watch Patrick speak at his Doubt Yourself Do It Anyway Summit in Italy. I am blown away. He had the crowd laughing, crying, and feeling inspired as hell afterwards!! I will travel to the ends of the earth to watch him do that again. I highly recommend hiring him as a speaker."
- Jessica L, Therapist
"Patrick gave a training today at our group practice for Autism affirming care and Neurodivergent affirming practices. I felt so seen, affirmed, and validated. It was really fantastic to connect with someone who incorporates lived identity into the way that he trains. I would highly recommend hiring him to come and speak to your staff."
- Lauren B, Therapist
