Considering venturing off on your own to start a private practice? We are here to make the process simple, affordable, and most importantly, legally compliant.

Cost: $800 (plus filing fees to be paid to the Secretary of State). Flexible payment plans available!

What is included?

Business Incorporation

  • We will draft and file your Certificate of Organization for either a single-member LLC or PLLC, depending on which structure best fits your needs. For California-based therapists, this will be the Articles of Incorporation for your single-member Professional Corporation (PC).

  • Advise on ongoing incorporation requirements and file initial new business reports.

  • Lawyers for Therapists will act as your corporation’s “Resident Agent*”. This is especially helpful if you do not have a physical location for your business, but rather plan to work from a home office.

  • Multi-member agreements, such as partnership agreements, corporate bylaws, and operating agreements, can be drafted for an additional cost depending on complexity and number of members/managers/shareholders.

*Resident/Registered Agent is only available for Massachusetts businesses at this time. 

Intake Forms

  • We will draft all legally required intake forms (for both adult and child clients) tailored to your license. We will indicate which sections are required by state law to remain in your forms, and where you can edit for creativity and accessibility for your clients.

  • Depending on your license type, these forms might include confidentiality and privacy disclosures, informed consent forms, or statements about treatment records.

  • You also get a one hour meeting with us to ask any questions and go over the forms we have drafted for you!
