Psychotherapy
\nPractice Building
\nYour practice, on your own terms<\/p>\n

For every therapist wondering if they have what it takes to start their own practice – yes, you can do it! Owning and operating your own practice provides unparalleled autonomy and a chance to live out your professional values on your own terms. That said, many therapists feel like they don’t have the skills, knowledge, or connections to start something on their own.<\/p>\n

Hold Your Own is a place where you can get what you need to take your ideas and make them a reality. We’re here to coach you through every step of starting your own practice from clarifying your values and mission, to branding, marketing, networking, insurance, billing, technology, and more. We’re passionate about helping you realize your vision and are fully committed to helping you launch your dream practice.<\/p>\n

What you can expect<\/p>\n

Twelve 90-minute consultations over the course of 6 months
\n\tStep by step instructions to establish your own private practice
\n\tAccess to professional network

Discounted Private Practice Coaching<\/p>\n

Hold Your Own supports the growth of clinicians from marginalized communities and offers 20% reduced coaching and practice building rates for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clinicians seeking to grow their practice and clinical skills.<\/p>\n

Community
\nDevelopment
\nOur values in practice<\/p>\n

Hold Your Own acknowledges the inequities present in our modern healthcare system that often creates and unfair financial burden from individuals and communities that need care the most. We support universal healthcare policies that would alleviate this burden from those seeking care and affirm that access to healthcare is a basic human right.<\/p>\n

Additionally, as therapists, we acknowledge the position of power we hold. Our privileged position did not start with obtaining our license to practice, but from the societal position we inherited from generations before. We acknowledge that we would not have the privileges we hold without the systematic colonization practices that have harmed so many generations of people that we live alongside today.<\/p>\n

Community Giving<\/p>\n

In line with these values, Hold Your Own is committed to engaging healing on a community level through monetary and educational support. A portion of Hold Your Own’s annual profits are donated to local organizations who are doing healing work in our community. Focusing on our core values of Allyship, Access, Ability, and Equity, funds will be given to local organizations working in the following areas<\/p>\n

Organizations working towards income inequality and racial healing for the BIPOC community of Grand Rapids
\n\tSupport directly given to tribal members whose land was stolen by the US government
\n\tResources for those seeking access to abortion
\n\tLGBTQIA+ advocacy and support
\n\tEnvironmental groups seeking to maintain a habitable planet<\/p>\n

Our Values
\nGuiding us every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Ability
\nWe believe that everyone has the right and ability to make meaningful changes in their lives regardless of differences or of societal systems that may say otherwise. However big or small these changes may be, your therapist will support you in finding new wells of strength to draw from to help you realize the power and autonomy you have to persevere through difficult times.<\/p>\n

Equity
\nThe way we engage in relationships creates some of the most profound emotional experiences of our lives. As humans on this planet together, we all want and need connection with each other. Sometimes that desire for love and acceptance shows up in ways that, despite our best intentions, push people away, or contort us into acting in ways that don’t align with our values. We believe relationships are most meaningful and fruitful when there is equity. We offer support by helping you examine your relational systems, and offer strategies to get your needs met within them.<\/p>\n

Allyship
\nOur clinicians are ardent supporters of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. While we do not identify as queer or persons of color, we strive to create a safe, affirming space for those who do. The purpose of being upfront about the white, hetero, cisgender nature of our *current* clinicians is so that you can make the best decisions for yourself regarding the representation of your therapist.<\/p>\n

Access
\nEvery person has the right to affirming healthcare and clinicians that lifts you up. Our therapists are experienced in exploring reproductive healthcare, hormone replacement, and psychotropic medications. You deserve a judgment free space to consider the best course for you. <\/p>\n

Our Team
\nWho We Are<\/p>\n

We are a group of clinicians who have been where you are. We’ve felt lost or frustrated with life and have engaged in our own therapy. We understand the sensitivity of sharing painful thoughts and feelings – and we have seen how vulnerability has transformed our own lives.<\/p>\n

We’re here to offer tools, support, and presence, but never to be the loudest voice in the room. You are the expert in your life. We’re here to provide affirmation and co-create a judgment free space with you to explore painful parts of your story without fear of rejection. We promise to walk alongside you, to honor your personal experiences, and to help you cultivate a path that allows you to live by values that you’re proud of.<\/p>\n

Corinne Foster LMSW CADC
\nfounder & psychotherapist she\/her
\nAffirming, compassionate and collaborative- Corinne provides a supportive space to explore areas of your life that are no longer meeting your needs. She believes in the power of autonomy and self determinism that focuses on cultivating values and life direction you can be proud of.<\/p>\n

Megan Brock LMSW
\npsychotherapist she\/her
\nMaking adjustments in your life can feel overwhelming, and is not something you have to do alone. Therapy is a partnership that holds space for us to come together and explore any stuck points that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Clients find Megan to be warm, caring, and nonjudgmental. Her approach to psychotherapy is person-centered, recognizing that each individual deserves unique care.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Quigley LMSW CAADC
\npsychotherapist she\/her
\nA strong believer in two things can be true at once, Kelsey takes a DBT approach to therapy. She provides a validating and supportive environment while also challenging thought processes and behaviors that may no longer be serving you. Kelsey\u2019s approach is to be an authentic human alongside to help you be the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n

We want to change
\npeoples lives
\nHold Your Own is an invitation. An offer of solidarity, connection, and hope to anyone who has experienced the profound impact of shame, loss, depression, anxiety, conflict- and the many other ways we as humans hurt or feel lost – and an opportunity to work through it together.<\/p>\n

Corinne is the perfect person to have in your corner while you’re building your practice. She’s empathic but practical which makes her the ideal person to walk therapists through what is often an anxiety-inducing process. Her experience with all things practice-building; from getting an NPI to paneling to marketing, and her ability to break down these steps in a way that seems manageable is amazing. It was like I had a practice-building fairy godmother.<\/p>\n

Corinne has worked closely with me over the years to ensure that she always has the most up to date and comprehensive abortion-related resources for clients. She cares deeply about connecting clients that are considering or seeking abortion care with compassionate, non-judgmental, affordable, and medically accurate information, resources, and care. She and I have talked often about how to best help people navigate restrictions on abortion care in an ever-changing landscape and she has spent many hours ensuring that she is a trusted source of good information for those seeking abortion care.<\/p>\n
