About Growing Self

Growing Self Counseling and Coaching is a positive, ethical, mission-driven group private practice that fosters wellbeing, growth and successful outcomes for therapists and for their clients. Founded in Denver, Colorado in 2005, our practice now has several offices in Colorado — but an even higher demand for online services across the US and internationally.

Demand for the services of our clinicians is strong, and we have opportunities for experts with skills and experience in evidence-based approaches within the following specialties:

  • Couples Counseling and Relationship Coaching
  • Growth-Oriented Therapy and Life Coaching 
  • Career Counseling and Professional Development Coaching

Our Mission, Values, and Culture

We are a collective of dedicated helping professionals that teach growth focused people how to create love, happiness, and success through personal and professional development. Our work generates a profound positive impact on the life trajectory of those we seek to serve. It empowers them to actively create healthy relationships, authentic wellbeing, and positive outcomes with and for others — not just for themselves, but for the benefit of future generations. 

Our core values are growth, love, happiness, and success — for clients, but also for our clinicians. Our collective demonstrates these values in action every day: 

  • Supporting the  success of our clinicians by ensuring full caseloads; 
  • Fostering their community connections; 
  • Celebrating and nurturing diversity, equity, and inclusion; 
  • Providing trustworthy clinical supervision and consultation; 
  • Emphasizing professional growth, continuing education, and self-of-therapist development; 
  • Offering initiatives that support work/life balance and emotional wellbeing;
  • Supporting financial prosperity in private practice.

How We Serve and Support Our Clinicians

Growing Self is a supportive home for clinicians who want the freedom and flexibility of private practice, with the support and structure that a group setting can provide. Our collective exists to help you flourish, thrive, and create easy prosperity doing what you love through: 

  • A reliable stream of referrals from a high-functioning, growth oriented client base. 
  • The flexibility to create your ideal work week based on your needs and wellbeing. 
  • Highly responsive administrative support for billing, accounting, tech support, HIPAA compliance, and more. 
  • Effective marketing to showcase your skills and attract your ideal clients. 
  • Regular, meaningful of team trainings and community “growth experiences” that support ongoing professional development. 
  • A vibrant community of clinicians for personal and professional support. 
  • Individual and group case consultations. 
  • 1:1 support for private practice success coaching. 
  • Group and individual supervision options. 
  • Help with attaining original and reciprocal licensure. 
  • Opportunities for teaching, training, and program development.
  • A road map for creating prosperity and balance in private practice. 

You can have freedom, flexibility, and do great work you love while also enjoying financial prosperity in private practice. Our partners typically earn well above the industry standard. Advanced clinicians with a full caseload (around 24 client sessions per week) can easily make well over 100k per year. 

Most importantly: Growing Self is a collective of helping professionals who feel valued, connected, and excited about practicing their craft every day. Burnout, overwhelm, and even trauma are very real occupational hazards in the counseling profession. Growing Self is here to help you reclaim your joy.

Our positive, growth oriented community actively buffers and supports your authentic wellbeing, allowing you to grow, and do meaningful, life-changing work with joy, as well as excellence. We believe that growth, love, happiness, and success are for you, too.

“I feel very lucky to have found Growing Self. They provide a very supportive work environment. I am able to voice my thoughts or concerns. They take care of all the pieces of being a therapist that are not my strong suit—marketing, billing, and building a community of resources.  It has allowed me to focus on what I love—my clients and becoming a better clinician.”

“Growing Self has allowed me to work in a private practice setting while still supporting my need for community and a network of other therapists. Having access to the other amazing and talented clinicians in this group has been invaluable in my own growth. Growing Self has allowed me to focus on what I truly love, which is being in session with my clients, without feeling bogged down by the administrative side of running a practice. I have loved being a part of this practice over the past 6 years!”
