Retreats for Therapists

Tired of relying solely on income from your therapy clients? Want to earn more money and travel while you’re at it?

Learn how to lead a profitable multi-day retreat while on a retreat yourself!

You’re so much more than a therapist. You’re a leader, teacher, guide, artist, and medicine worker.

  • Imagine being able bring that all together and take a month off from your practice and knowing you could replace it with leading one week-long retreat.

  • Wouldn’t it be nice to know you could up your income without adding 4 more client hours to your week?

  • Or grow your business revenue without having to hire another therapist?

  • Want to make as much money in three days as you would make in a whole month?

  • Get paid to travel instead of being stuck in one on one sessions in your office all day.

I have good news.

You can take time off from your private practice AND make money while leading your dream retreat. When I discovered the power of retreats not only did it help me realize my desire to find a way to travel with my job, but it also lead to big bump in income that I didn’t think I could get so easily as a therapist. I knew I had to share it with other therapists.

Lead a retreat and replace one month of private practice income.

Hey there.

If we haven’t met, I’m Felicia Keller Boyle, aka The Bad Therapist™.

I love to travel but when I became a therapist, I figured that was over. How in the hell could I maintain a private practice, take extended time off, and somehow make enough money to sustain myself?!

It seemed like an impossible puzzle to solve until…

I led my first high-ticket, multi-day retreat in Thailand in January 2023. Not only was I able to create an incredible experience for my retreat participants, but I funded an entire month of travel and paid my bills back home!

As a therapist, you have a massive skillset that can help you build an amazing retreat that makes you money.

You just need a roadmap—and that’s what my next retreat is all about!

Here’s what investing in yourself (and your business) can do.

One of the main perks of running your business is making investments that not only increase your income but are just downright fun. My retreats are intended to be great for your business and your mental health.

This retreat will help you:

  • Create a retreat that allows you to take a month off from your talk therapy practice every year,

  • Increase your revenue and diversify your offerings so you don't burn out,

  • Find a new way of supporting clients dealing with things like body image, trauma, and depression,

  • Build a blueprint for your own profitable therapeutic retreat and a path forward,

  • Translate the wisdom you've gained as a therapist into a powerful holistic approach for counseling retreats,

  • Learn how to craft a healing process for clients in a therapy retreat setting, and

  • Reconnect with the joy that you felt at the start of your therapy journey.

If you're tired of long days of seeing clients and long for some variety while increasing your income, adding therapy retreats to your suite of offerings is the answer. And what better way to dream up and craft it than on your own personal retreat?

FAQs about therapist retreats

  • It's completely natural to question whether retreats are the right addition to your business. Integrating retreats can seem daunting due to the planning and resources required. Plus, it can feel uncomfortable to step away from your present life, even if you want to get a fresh perspective.

    However, the benefits can be well worth the effort.

    Retreats offer a unique way to deepen client relationships, provide intensive therapeutic and wellness experiences, and establish your brand in the wellness industry. They also open up new revenue streams and marketing opportunities.
