Business Consulting
Whether you’re dreaming of a wellness practice of your own or have one that you want to grow or improve, you’ve come to the right place!
Iryna Arute, Psy.D., LCP
Clinical Psychologist and Business Consultant
As a business entrepreneur for 8 years and an owner of 4 businesses, I am happy to bring my experience, including the many mistakes I made and learned from, to help you create the kind of business you love and thrive in. I enjoy working with psychotherapists, functional medicine doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, spa owners, yoga teachers, pilates instructors, physical therapists, personal trainers, nutritional counselors, coaches, and other service professionals to start or grow their businesses.
Together…
We can set goals, identify issues, think creatively, and grow your practice so you can thrive while using your gifts in serving your clients. We’ll do the deep work to discover barriers and find ways to overcome them. Together, we’ll work smarter, not harder, and enjoy the process. I provide support, resources, and accountability so you can bring your passion to life!
