As private practice therapists, we are often curious about what our colleagues are working on outside of their face-to-face time with clients. This series of posts called This Week In The Life of A Vibrant Therapist is intended to record and share the extra tasks I am working on for a given week outside of the time I spent in session with clients and documenting those sessions. However, this month I will also share some data about my observations of my client schedule, too.
The post will offer you a peek into my practice for the week of February 27, 2023.

Week of 2/27/2023
Last week of the month
Two thirds of the way through the first quarter of 2023!
If you are unfamiliar with my practice, it is worth noting that I see therapy clients part time with sessions scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I spend Mondays and Tuesday mornings working on The Vibrant Therapist Consulting. Fridays are days I reserve family/household activities, personal appointments and routines that support my well-being.
A note about my practice this week. 50% of my clients were seen in person and 50% via telehealth. This is my highest percentage of in person sessions in 2023. I had one client session that was canceled this week and intentionally decided to use that time for rest.
This Week In The Life of A Vibrant Therapist-The Week of 2/27/2023
- I spent time each day actively working on my mindset. This includes writing exercises as well as reading or listening to content to help me recognize and work through my own mindset blocks/limiting beliefs.
- On Monday, I reviewed my schedule + priorities and prepared for the week ahead. I also reviewed my notes to myself to help me develop a plan to wrap up tasks I didn’t finish the previous week.
- Also on Monday, I took time to prepare for this week’s sessions.
- I reviewed data I collected about my practice for January and February 2023 to determine what changes I may want to make in March. This data + looking at my March schedule allowed me to determine that I had space to schedule 1-2 new clients for March.
- Additionally, I reviewed my progress towards my annual and first quarter 2023 goals and determined what adjustments I need to make in order to achieve my goals. Aspiring to take more bold actions in March!
- Paid myself.
- Responded to new client inquiries.
What does a week in your life look like this month, Vibrant Therapist?
