👋 Hi, I’m Dr. Brie-Anna Willey

Therapist, coach, creative—and proud business nerd.

I help therapists, helpers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs build businesses they actually love—without burning out or selling out.

💡 My Story

Since launching my private practice in 2015, I’ve walked the winding path:

  • Marketing.

  • Insurance panels.

  • Client payments.

  • Hiring.

  • Burnout.

I know the late nights,

the spreadsheet spirals,

and that quiet fear that maybe doing what you love,

shouldn’t feel this hard.

But over time, I found my footing.
I built boundaries.

I got nerdy with my systems.
I diversified my income.
And I discovered this simple truth:

💥 Business feels like freedom

when it aligns with who you really are.

Now, I help others do the same.

🧭 My Philosophy

Your business should support the life you actually want.
It should reflect your values, honor your energy,

and make room for your whole self

—including the parts that don’t fit neatly into professional boxes.

💼 Practical tools to grow income and reduce stress

🌿 Creative reflection to build a brand that feels like home

🧠 Nerdy insights about burnout, boundaries, and behavior

💛 Deep permission to do it your way—and do it well
