Therapists Gone Rogue is a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide for therapists ready to leave the group practice grind and launch their own solo practice — without losing their sanity (or their savings).

Written by Melanie Mia Mauss, LPC, this black-and-white field manual walks you through every stage of going independent: forming your LLC, setting up your EHR, getting paneled with insurance, managing finances, and building a brand that actually feels like you.

This isn’t theory — it’s transparency. You’ll see what works, what doesn’t, and what it really costs to run a private practice.
Filled with checklists, Rogue Notes, and one honest-to-God budget example, this guide gives you both the structure and the nerve to do it your way.

Perfect for:

  • Therapists, counselors, and social workers leaving group practice

  • Clinicians exploring private pay or insurance-based models

  • Anyone who wants financial clarity and creative control
