Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Rachel Saenger, Founder of Georgetown Counseling and Wellness, located in Georgetown, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are Georgetown Counseling and Wellness, a group counseling practice of licensed mental health professionals. We believe in building better mental health in our community and helping our clients get unstuck from the blocks that hold them back from experiencing greater well-being and more enriching relationships. We provide counseling services to children, adults, couples, and families in Georgetown and surrounding communities using proven techniques. In addition to traditional counseling modalities, we offer holistic meditation and mindfulness training to promote personal growth and healing of mind, body, and spirit.

Tell us about yourself

I founded Georgetown Counseling and Wellness in 2019 after realizing that our area's need for mental health treatment was growing exponentially. My personal caseload was full, and there was a noticeable gap in the number of people seeking treatment and the availability in my city. I am passionate about helping my clients learn more about themselves and grow into who they want to be in relationships, jobs, and other aspects of their lives.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Growing from a solo practitioner to a group practice owner
putting new systems in place, hiring, training, and building a positive practice culture!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

There can be a lot of balls to juggle!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Gather information from business mentors (www.score.org has free business mentoring available), create a solid business plan, and create a website connected to Google. Also, plan to be flexible and change systems and processes as needed.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Chambers of commerce are an excellent way to network and let others know who you are and all about your business.
