Couples therapy is relational. Your business should be, too.
You already know how to create safety, repair, and connection in the therapy room.
Now it’s time to bring that same relational intelligence to your business, with systems that hold you, marketing that feels human, and a practice that finally supports the actual life you want.
Because you don’t need to hustle harder.
You need a successful private practice that’s built like you build love: attuned, intentional, and creative.
Hi, I’m Susan Saint-Rossy.
I teach couples therapists how to build private practices that can actually hold couples work, by fixing both how your practice is seen and how it’s built.
Because couples therapy breaks models designed for individual clients.
Two people on the calendar.
Ninety-minute sessions that somehow pay like fifty.
Consult calls where one partner is ready and the other is halfway out the door.
Weeks where the wrong couples reach out for help and the right ones never quite find you.
Couples Therapist Studio exists because most advice treats marketing and business as separate problems. Get visible over here. Clean up systems over there.
Meanwhile, couples keep reaching out confused, hesitant, or not actually ready—and the work starts wobbly before it even begins.
Inside CTS, we work on signal and structure together. We clarify how you’re seen so couples can recognize themselves and orient.
And we build the business scaffolding—fees, pacing, scheduling—that makes it possible to say yes to the right couples without burning yourself out.
No individual-therapy marketing repurposed for couples work.
No visibility that creates more chaos instead of better clients.
No beautifully designed practice that still can’t hold the load.
The result is simple: the right couples find you, the work starts cleaner, and your practice becomes steadier and more profitable over time.
That’s not hype. That’s coherence—for couples therapy.
The CTS story
Before I became a therapist, I spent a decade in the corporate world as a management consultant and marketing director—learning the structures and strategies that make systems run smoothly.
I brought those tools with me into private practice, building thriving businesses on four continents and, eventually, a full-fee practice here in the U.S. that supports a creative, grounded life.
These days, my work funds afternoons in my art studio, weekly trips to the animal sanctuary with one twin, and thrift-store treasure hunts with the other. It’s a business that fits me—not the other way around.
That’s what I help you create, too: a practice that sustains your cinical art, your family, your freedom.
Because you can do meaningful work and build a life that feels like your own masterpiece.
This isn’t business management or therapy practice-building with a side of cringe.
Most business advice for therapists feels like it was built for someone else.
Someone louder. Less relational. More into hacks.
Private practice doesn’t have to mean pushing past your limits or selling yourself in ways that feel off.
CTS offers business support that respects your boundaries and trusts your instincts. We build structure that steadies without squeezing and strategy that feels like you.
It’s for couples therapists who’ve had enough of trying to fit into business models that were never made for them.
If you're a couples therapist who wants more clients you enjoy working with at a fee that supports you, and more time to breathe, you're in the right place.
Working in the Studio
Whether you’re just beginning to shape your couples therapy practice or ready to refine what you’ve already built, there’s a way to work together that meets you where you are.
Each way I help you is designed to support you in having a practice with more clarity, more calm, and more congruence—with who you are and how you work.
THE STUDIO SESSIONS — Fill your bank account without draining your soul
You know how to help couples. What you need now is a private practice that helps you:
Live the life you envision for yourself.
Have the creative freedom to practice couples therapy the way that fulfills you.
Make enough income to support living the way you desire.
The Studio Sessions is a 3-month mentoring engagement where you get the attention you need to grow your kind of private practice.
In The Studio Sessions, I help you design and build a private-pay practice with the systems, client-attraction messaging, and structure to create a practice with right-fit, premium clients, allowing you space and time to live the life you want to live.
A PROFILE CHECKLIST FOR COUPLES THERAPISTS—How to make your therapist directory profile say, “I’m a couples therapist and I’m good at it.”
Your “find a therapist” profiles (Psychology Today, etc.) shouldn’t sound like everyone else’s. If you identify as a couples therapist, it should announce,
“I work with couples—and I’m good at it!”
This free checklist helps you rewrite your profile so it attracts more of the right couples and lessens the number of dead-end consults.
THE WELCOME SESSION—A minicourse about how to welcome more clients from first contact through beginning their first session.
The Welcome Session mini-course shows you how to turn your intake process into a magnet for the right couples.
By watching short videos and working your way through some exercises, you’ll learn how to design every step—from first inquiry to first session—so it feels clear, professional, and deeply welcoming.
You’ll spot and fix the small breakdowns that quietly drive good clients away, and you’ll walk away with a smooth, confidence-building process that helps couples feel cared for from the very first click.
