Best for Your Mental Health - Blake Psychology
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Emily Blake, Founder of Blake Psychology, located in Quebec, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Blake Psychology has clinics across Montreal and the West Island and online across the province of Quebec. We provide therapy and assessment services to children, teens, adults, couples, groups, and families. We also provide business coaching and career counselling.
Tell us about yourself
Helping people to heal, grow, and thrive, motivates me. I like being able to help as many clients as possible by running a clinic in a smooth and organized manner so that therapists can focus on providing therapy while everything else is taken care of by our administrative team.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Creating a work environment that feels like family! We love cultivating warm and friendly relationships with everyone on our team and working in a manner that builds on everyone's strengths. Being a mental health company, the mental health of our team members is always at the forefront of our decision-making, as this filters down to the clients we serve. Living a flexible and healthy life is central to our values.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being able to let go and not work 24/7. It's always possible to think about work, so being able to shift attention to other things can be difficult but important.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If you can dream it, you can do it. Ask for help, learn from mistakes, and practice grit - nothing worth having comes easily.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Do it for love, as it's way harder than it looks!
