In today’s conversation, host Kelly Higdon sits down with Allison, a licensed marriage and family therapist and registered art therapist based in San Diego. Allison shares her inspiring journey from burnout in the mental health system to building a thriving private practice—one that’s grown and adapted through personal health challenges, parenthood, and even a global pandemic. Together, they dive into the realities of solo versus group practice, the importance of honoring neurodivergence as a business owner, and the lessons learned about timing, support, and sustainable growth. Whether you’re just starting out or thinking about expanding your practice, Allison’s story offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement for anyone looking to build a business that truly fits their life and values.
