You’re not just building a private practice.
You’re building a life.

Aligned & Ready is a mentorship and supervision program for pre-licensed clinicians who are ready to do the work—not just the clinical work, but the visioning, structuring, and launching of a private practice that reflects who they are and how they want to serve.

If you’ve ever said, “I want to start a private practice, but I have to get my hours first,” or “I have no idea where to begin,” this was built for you.

Whether you’re an associate social worker (LICSW-A) just getting your hours or you’re a few steps in but feeling lost in the admin overwhelm, Aligned & Ready gives you the roadmap, guidance, and confidence to grow a sustainable, values-driven therapy practice—with expert support at every turn.

Here’s what we believe:

The best way to have more good therapists in the world is to launch them with intention, support, and integrity.

I’ve spent the last 6+ years building a thriving private practice, and what lights me up most is helping other therapists do the same. My clients often tell me I’m the best therapist they’ve ever had. As much as I’d love to be everyone’s therapist, I can’t. But what I can do is help launch the next best one.

This program is for you if:

  • You’re a pre-licensed (associate) MSW in Washington State (LICSW-A)
  • You want to launch into private practice but don’t want to do it alone.
  • You crave mentorship that’s both grounded and growth-oriented
  • You want honest conversations about fee setting, client fit, burnout, boundaries, and beyond.
  • You’re ready to work hard—but you want to do it aligned with your values.

Your Mentor:

Hi, I’m Kaila Mitchell, LICSW. I’m a therapist, clinical supervisor, EMDR practitioner, ACT enthusiast, and someone who believes that authenticity and competence can (and should) go hand in hand. I know what it’s like to feel both called to private practice and unsure of how to begin. This program is what I wish I had—and what I now love offering.

We operate on a fee revenue split, reviewed together at regular intervals. Your growth is our priority—the split covers administrative and supervision costs absorbed by the mentorship.

We’ll walk through caseload goals and income planning together. This will largely depend on the number of people you see per month.  My personal goal for you is to make more working less than you would doing agency work for 40 hours per week.
