Mission Statement

Empowering Mental Health Professionals in Their Business Acumen.

At My Mental Health CPA, our mission is to provide therapists with the practical tools, education, and support they need to run their practices confidently and successfully. We believe that mental health professionals deserve to have thriving businesses that allow them to focus on what truly matters—helping their clients—without being overwhelmed by the complexities of financial management.

Because managing your business shouldn’t be more stressful than helping your clients.

Our Story

Working with countless therapists, one thing became clear: the business side of running a private practice often feels like uncharted territory. As skilled as therapists are in providing care, the day-to-day demands of managing finances, taxes, and business structures are not typically taught in graduate programs. This gap can lead to stress, uncertainty, and missed opportunities.

That’s why My Mental Health CPA was created. We’re here to bridge that gap by offering a no-nonsense, practical approach to managing the financial aspects of a therapy practice. From bookkeeping to tax preparation, we make it easier for you to succeed in business so you can keep focusing on your passion.

How We Helped One Therapist
Simplify Their Business

Meet Sarah, a dedicated therapist who was passionate about helping her clients but found herself struggling with the business side of running her practice. Managing her bookkeeping, preparing for tax season, and understanding which business structure to choose felt overwhelming. The constant financial stress was pulling her away from her real passion—caring for her clients.

Sarah’s experience isn’t unique. Stories like hers inspired the creation of My Mental Health CPA. We recognized that many therapists, like Sarah, were missing key business skills that weren’t taught in graduate school but are crucial for running a successful practice.

Through our educational resources and personalized guidance, Sarah learned how to streamline her bookkeeping, organize her finances, and prepare for tax season without the anxiety. No more late nights trying to figure out accounting software or worrying about compliance. Now, she can confidently manage the financial side of her business, with more time to focus on her clients and her true purpose.

At My Mental Health CPA, we empower therapists like Sarah by providing the tools, knowledge, and support they need to simplify their business operations—so they can get back to doing what they love.
