From Imposter Syndrome to Inspiration in Private Practice with Erinn

In this episode, Kelly and Miranda sit down with Erinn, the inspiring founder of Every Heart Dreams Counseling in El Dorado Hills, California. Erinn shares her journey from working in a group practice to launching her own private practice during the midst of the 2020 pandemic—all while welcoming her third child. Tune in as Erinn discusses the surprising influx of clients during uncertain times, navigating imposter syndrome, and the decision-making process behind striking out on her own.

We’ll explore the seasonal ebb and flow of running a practice focused on kids, teens, and families, and hear Erinn’s sage advice for anyone feeling unsure about making the leap into private practice. Stay tuned for real talk about the challenges, triumphs, and deeper purpose behind a thriving counseling business.
