⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The Think Beyond Psych Start-Up Kit was exactly what I needed to feel confident launching my private practice. It takes you step by step through the overwhelming parts of getting started, credentialing, legal setup, and workflow organization, and breaks them down into clear, manageable actions. Instead of wasting hours piecing things together from random sources, I finally had a roadmap built specifically for psychiatric nurse practitioners. It’s not just information. It’s strategy, practical tools, and encouragement in one place. I honestly don’t think I would have moved forward so quickly without it.”

🧭 Mentorship That Builds Judgment
Think Beyond Practice isn’t a coaching program — it’s mentorship in real time.
Through structured discussions and case-based learning, members develop the habits that matter most: clinical reasoning, sequencing, and discernment.
You’ll get to see how experienced clinicians think through complex decisions, refine your own process, and get feedback on real scenarios — all within a professional, grounded community.
It’s not about giving answers. It’s about helping you build a framework for better ones.
👉 Learn more about the Forum + Mentorship
💡 Forum access: $50/month or $525/year
The forum really shines when you pair it with the toolkit.
If you run into roadblocks while setting up your practice — whether it’s a workflow issue, billing setup, or documentation question — just pop into the forum and ask. I’m active daily, and the community is built for exactly those moments when you need quick, reliable guidance.

Not just for private practice—support for every clinician.
🧭 Mentorship That Builds Clinical Judgment
Think Beyond Practice was built on the idea that good mentorship isn’t about giving answers — it’s about building judgment.
Inside the forum, mentorship happens in real time through structured case discussions, reasoning breakdowns, and workflow troubleshooting. You’ll see how experienced clinicians think through complex cases, and you’ll start to shape your own process in the same way — systematically, ethically, and with clinical precision.
This isn’t coaching. It’s guided development for clinicians who want to think more clearly, document more effectively, and practice with confidence that holds up under scrutiny.
“You’re not learning what to think — you’re learning how to think like a clinician.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The Think Beyond Practice Forum is brilliant. It’s a hub of knowledge, guidance, and community for anyone setting up a private practice. What I appreciate most is the mix of expert advice and peer-driven insight. You’re learning from people who are actually facing the same challenges. Every time I visit, I find practical tips, reassurance, and new ideas I can immediately apply. It’s a resource that grows with you, and I keep coming back because it makes me feel less alone in this journey.”
— Abieyuwa Salami, DNP, PMHNP-BC
Why Think Beyond Practice?
I built Think Beyond Practice because clinicians deserve practical answers and real support—not sales pitches or overpriced “systems.” Whether you’re starting a private practice, managing a clinic, working in a hospital, or just need clarity on day-to-day questions, honest guidance shouldn’t be so hard to find.
When I tried to shift my own practice from insurance-based to cash-pay, all I found were overpriced “systems,” vague advice, or resources that felt more like a sales funnel than real support. I know not everyone wants to run a practice, but every clinician deserves practical, judgment-free answers about the work we actually do—billing, documentation, medication, ethics, and the day-to-day realities.
This toolkit and forum are built for any clinician who wants honest guidance, a clear next step, or just a place to get real questions answered—no hype, no pressure, and clear, transparent pricing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This is the only forum I’ve found that’s actually useful long term. Other communities felt basic, performative, or recycled. Here, the clinical info is thorough, the business and coding guidance is what nobody else teaches, and everything is organized, practical, and miles better than the hype forums. The mix of real-world charting, coding, practice-building, ketamine/spravato breakdowns, and ethics makes it useful whether you’re new or seasoned.”
— Haley, PMHNP-BC

FAQ
Who is this for?
Think Beyond Practice is built for all clinicians—psychiatric NPs, psychiatrists, therapists, and counselors—whether you’re running a private practice, working in a group, employed by a hospital, or considering a transition. If you want practical answers, real tools, and a peer community (not hype or high-pressure sales), you’re in the right place.
Why offer a 7-day free trial?
Because you deserve to evaluate the forum from the inside. Most “clinical business” spaces hide behind paywalls for a reason. This one doesn’t. You get a full week to see the depth of the threads, the documentation templates, the clinical reasoning discussions, and all the practical tools that clinicians actually use.
What do I get during the free trial?
Everything. Full access to all spaces, posts, tools, templates, workflows, and discussions. No limits, no hidden locks.
Is seven days enough to go through everything?
No. And that’s exactly the point. You’ll get a genuine feel for the forum, but the depth, updates, and ongoing support are what keep people long-term.
Are CE credits included yet?
Not yet.
Think Beyond Education (the CE division of Think Beyond) is completing its ANCC accreditation preparation. The CE library is already written and in pilot testing, and accredited CE access will be added as a membership option once approval is granted. Members will receive clear guidance before anything changes.
Why is the forum 50/month?
Because it’s the early testing phase. The forum launched at a reduced “builder” rate while we gathered member feedback, expanded the documentation library, added clinical reasoning threads, built out billing tools, and refined the real-world workflows.
It’s already more valuable than the price reflects, but the 50/month rate has been intentionally held while the CE program is built.
Inside the forum you get:
• real-world billing workflows
• audit-ready documentation tools and examples
• clinical reasoning and case discussions
• state-specific legal and compliance guidance
• EHR setup help, workflow troubleshooting, and business systems support
• a community that answers real questions instead of giving vague generalities
What you’re paying for isn’t “access to a chat space.”
You’re paying for clarity, judgment, systems, and ongoing expert-level support.
The price reflects the depth, the quality, and the fact that the forum grows every week with new tools, case threads, templates, and guidance shaped directly by member questions. Nothing else in the field delivers that combination.
Will the price ever increase?
The forum will continue to grow, and pricing may change over time as new features and resources are added. If that happens, members will always be notified ahead of time and given clear options.
Can I cancel before the trial ends?
Yes. One click. If you cancel before day seven, you won’t be charged.
Will there be a refund policy?
No. Because both the Toolkit and Forum provide immediate access to downloadable materials, templates, and protected content, all sales are final.
For the forum, you can start with a 7-day free trial. If you cancel before day seven, you won’t be charged. After the trial, billing continues month-to-month and can be canceled anytime with a single click.
For the Toolkit, once you download the materials they are yours to keep, so refunds aren’t possible.
This structure keeps everything simple, transparent, and fair.
Can I ask clinical or medication questions if I’m not a prescriber?
Absolutely. The forum is open to all clinicians and allied professionals—including therapists, social workers, counselors, psychologists, nutritionists, and even coaches working in mental health or related fields. You don’t have to be a prescriber to participate or get value. In fact, you bring value.
As a prescriber, I often find myself learning from the therapeutic skills and perspectives of non-prescribers. Your expertise in therapy, nutrition, or coaching is just as important as medication knowledge—and the forum will be richer for having a range of voices. Whether your questions are about clinical dilemmas, documentation, or best practices in your specialty, you’ll find support and colleagues ready to share their experience.
Bottom line:
If you care for clients or patients in any capacity—prescribing or not—your presence is welcome and your contributions matter.
