Whether you’re a solo provider looking for practice management advice, you’re looking to expand into a large practice, or you’re ready to offer new or unique services, Dr. Knight would be honored to work with you to achieve your goals.

Dr. Knight comes from a family of entrepreneurs and runs her own integrative group practice, so she’s been exposed to all aspects of running a successful business. She has unique expertise to help you set up successful integrative and multi-disciplinary practices.

As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Knight’s favorite thing about business consulting is helping people work through seemingly impossible challenges to find creative and innovative solutions.

During your consultations, Dr. Knight helps you define and implement an action plan for your business. This could be any goal such as writing a business plan, managing staff, establishing boundaries, or expanding your online presence. Through trial and error, she has learned some of the most effective and efficient ways to boost your practice’s online presence and reach by building out your SEO and leveraging the right I.T. professionals.

Dr. Knight takes a compassionate yet firm approach to hold you to your goals and expectations. So, if you want someone to not only support you but also prevent you from deferring to unproductive habits, then Dr. Knight may be the right consultant for you.

No matter where you are in your business process.

Dr. Knight helps you from the beginning through the growth stages of business. She can help you if you’re in the launch process, if you’re looking for more ways to bring in revenue, or if you’re ready to scale your business. You may just need some guidance about running the day-to-day operations or adjusting the trajectory of your practice. Either way, she helps you take your business to the next level.

Running your own practice can feel lonely, and you often don’t have people to talk to who understand your day to day stressors.  While practice management consulting is not therapy, Dr. Knight is here to provide support, direction, grounded advice, and be a sounding board for challenges, both big and small.  If you need help establishing healthy relationships with your staff, or gaining clarity about your strengths, Dr. Knight gives you an objective perspective to help you thrive.

Dr. Knight knows how to run a successful business, and she’s touched on every aspect from the client intake processes to office cleaning schedules to managing staff. With her background and experience in both business and therapy, she offers keen insight into the most effective approach.
