A message from our founder
In 2019, I founded Place Digital because I wanted to help the professionals that changed my life: therapists.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of therapists grow their businesses as a speaker, consultant, and service provider.
Since immersing myself in this industry, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how a therapy practice can become profitable and sustainable. I’ve also learned about all the bad actors out there who don’t want to see therapists thrive, because they only profit by paying therapists less than they deserve.
Before, I was passionate about marketing. Now, I’m passionate about solving problems that therapists, who simply want a lifestyle that supports their work and personal lives, face.
When you work with us, you’re collaborating with a whole team team of dedicated experts who want to see you succeed. We know all that you’ve had to sacrifice to get to this point, and we want to support you in crossing the finish line.
You deserve a business that enables you to have the lifestyle that you want–not the one you can get away with.
We can help.
