Jenny Brackman, the Therapist Coach

Why Coaching?

Hi, I’m Jenny Brackman. I work with therapists who are struggling to balance the demands of their profession—whether they’re feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of running a private practice or burnt out from the emotional toll of clinical work.

Therapists often enter the field with a deep desire to help others, but the realities of the job can be daunting. Between the business challenges of private practice and the emotional strain of bearing witness to trauma, it’s easy to feel like you’re just trying to survive rather than thrive.

My clients have shared thoughts like:

- I’m passionate about therapy, but I wasn’t prepared for how hard it is to run a business.

- I’m constantly giving to others, but I feel like I’m falling apart inside.

- If people knew how much I’m struggling, it could affect my reputation—or even my license.

- I need help, but I’m tired of the medical model and don’t want another diagnosis.

Whether it’s burnout from the emotional strain of secondary traumatic stress or the weight of managing a private practice, many therapists feel stuck. It’s exhausting to juggle it all, and many find their careers and passion slipping away.

That’s where coaching can make all the difference. My approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where therapists can unpack these challenges. Through coaching, I help my clients rediscover their passion, find balance, and build a thriving practice without sacrificing their own well-being.

How did I start coaching therapists? Well, in the words of Bob Ross, it was a happy little accident.

I started coaching therapists after realizing that my own experience with compassion fatigue and secondary trauma gave me the ability to truly understand their struggles. Since then, I’ve guided many therapists in finding both personal and professional growth, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
