In this episode of Between Sessions with Berries, Kym sits down with Tara Wells, LCSW, and founder of the Unpacked Mastermind, to talk about what actually happens to clinicians when they go out on their own. Tara brings both lived experience and a growing platform built specifically to fill the gap that grad school, group chats, and Facebook forums never could.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why solo private practice creates a silo and how that isolation affects mental health professionals differently than other entrepreneurs.

• What "pitching" means for clinicians and why learning to articulate your niche is a core business skill.

• How Tara built a free mastermind for South Florida therapists before scaling it into the Unpacked Mastermind.

• What the mastermind format looks like and why it works better than async forums for real-time feedback and accountability.

• Who the Unpacked Mastermind is for, including clinicians who are still agency-based but curious about private practice.

• The business mistakes therapists make early on and why most are learning everything as they go.
