About
KELLY
LCSW Therapist & Business Coach
Iβm so glad youβre here!
Kelly (OβSullivan) McKenna, LCSW, MBA
I imagine youβre here because there are parts of your work you wish you could change.
Do you feel burnt out?
Would you be a better therapist if there was a way for you to work with fewer clients while increasing your income?
Do you compare yourself to other therapists on Instagram and wonder βwhy canβt I have that?!β
Do you wish someone would show you the way?
I am here to help you.
Iβve been there too. Before I started my own practice, I was working 40-50 hours a week at a nonprofit. And then in the evenings, Iβd work another 10 hours a week at a group practice.
To say I was burnt out was an understatement. But then I started my Instagram page and everything started to change for me.
With an engaged community, I created demand for my services. I was able to raise my rates to $250 a session and fill my caseload with private pay clients. This gave me the financial security to quit my job.
Having a private pay practice has not only made me a better therapist to my clients, but itβs also made me a happier person, a more present wife, and a more fun friend.
I believe that every therapist deserves to be paid at least 6-figures for the lifechanging work you do with your clients.
My Background
Most therapists were not taught a damn thing about marketing or business in graduate school.
I was fortunate enough to get my MBA and I have made it my personal mission to help fill this educational gap for therapists. Marketing doesnβt have to be complicated. Itβs a skill you are very capable of learning.
Learning to market yourself effectively on Instagram will help you earn more, work less, and have a caseload of clients you are truly great at helping.
I have successfully grown two Instagram pages from scratch (@sitwithkelly and @businessoftherapy). And Iβve helped 100s of other therapists do the same.
In my professional career, Iβve done a lot of different things besides being a Therapist and Business Coach.
I have worked in inpatient substance abuse settings, schools, community centers, homeless shelters, and nonprofits.
Most recently I worked in a senior leadership position at an NYC nonprofit where I managed several large programs, over $10 million annually, and a team of 70 people. I oversaw programs working with young adults and veterans - providing housing, mental health counseling, case management, and employment services.
Credentials
I received my Masters of Social Work and Masters of Business Administration from Florida State University.
I earned $250,000 my first year in private practice. I reached $1,000,000 in revenue, in less than 3 years.
And Iβve helped countless other therapists launch and scale their own private practices, well beyond the 6-figure mark.
