About The Podcast
Have you ever listened to a podcast and thought, hmm….that seems pretty bland, vanilla, or “scripted?”
The All Things Private Practice Podcast is the exact opposite! If you know me, you know that I respect authenticity, rawness, and vulnerability.
This podcast started as a resource to help mental health therapists start and grow their businesses but it’s transformed into something so MUCH more than that.
If you’re a small business owner, private practice therapist, mental health therapist, or a human being then this is for you. I regularly interview and have conversations with industry experts, entrepreneurs who have worked through adversity to get to another side, to help normalize fear, failure, struggle, and celebrate outside-the-box thinking and success.
Listen To The PodcastSome of the Topics I cover are:
- Normalizing the fear of leaving a secure, safe place of employment and stepping into the unknown of being an entrepreneur and small business owner
- Talking about fear, insecurity, impostor syndrome, and self-doubt
- Discussion with successful BIPOC therapists and entrepreneurs about how they’ve worked so F*cking hard to get to where they’re at, and very real conversations around their experiences
- The mindset shift that comes with owning a business, especially the ebb and flow of “I am CRUSHING it” vs. “OMG, I AM NEVER going to be able to do this again”
- All Things Money — Capitalism, Hustle Culture, Choosing and Discussing Fees, and most importantly, working through our money traumas, narratives, and anxieties, and experiences
-  All Things Impostor Syndrome — Having very real, very painful conversations around the age-old question “Am I Good Enough To
Do This?” - Conversations around Neurodivergence and Entrepreneurs, and How to Harness And Embrace Your Superpowers
- Imperfect Action — You may be thinking “WTF Is That?” I believe in building the plane as you fly it, and we discuss how to put your ideas out to the world before they’re “perfect” or “ready”
- Â Using fear as a GAS pedal instead of a Brake
- Celebrating outside-the-box thinkers and entrepreneurs — Especially those of us who are Breaking The Mold and doing things differently
Client Testimonials
Mina R, Therapist
"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."
Founder of All Things Private Practice
Meet Your Host:Â Patrick Casale, MA, LCMHC, LCAS
I’m a Mental Health & Addiction Therapist, group practice owner, and Private Practice Coach helping therapists build fulfilling, sustainable businesses Since 2008. Like many in this field, I started out undervalued, underpaid, and burnt out in community mental health.
With no business training and a lot of fear, I took the leap into private practice — learning through trial, error, and persistence. I eventually built a thriving solo and then group practice, and now I help other therapists do the same — with less burnout, more freedom, and a clear path forward.
How I can help you:
- Therapist-turned-business strategist
- Been where you are — burnout & doubt
- Built both solo + group practices
- No fluff — real, actionable support
- Helping you work less & earn more
- Get started faster, with less stress
- Join the newsletter for tips & a free guide
