The Aligned Growth Studio

Pamela Dobbie, LPC

I'm Pamela Dobbie, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 22 years of clinical experience, licensed across Texas, Florida, Colorado, South Carolina, and New Mexico.

But credentials aren't why I built Aligned Growth Studio.

I built it because I watched too many brilliant clinicians launch practices that quietly wrecked them — overbooked, underpriced, drowning in admin, and recreating the exact burnout patterns they spend their days helping clients heal. I've lived my own version of that collision between health and overwork, and it changed how I think about building a business.

So I made the thing I wish I'd had: a complete, nervous-system-informed foundation for launching a private practice. Templates that save you hours. Education that helps you make the big decisions with confidence. And done-for-you setup when you'd rather have it handled.

Not hustle-harder. Not optimize-at-all-costs. Just a practice built to actually support the person running it.

That's the whole idea. Welcome.

— Pam


Everything You Need to Launch Smart

You don't need to figure this out alone. Here's what actually works:

Three Pillars, One Complete System

Most resources give you one piece: templates OR education OR support. You're left connecting the dots, wondering if you're doing it right, worrying you're forgetting something critical.

I built AGS differently. These three pillars work together so you get a complete, nervous-system-informed practice foundation.


PILLAR 1: Templates That Actually Save Time

Ready-to-use, customizable templates for every stage of the client relationship—from intake through discharge. Informed consent, treatment planning, progress notes, assessment tools, and workflows already built. No reinventing the wheel. No 10-hour DIY projects.

$37-97 | One-time purchase


PILLAR 2: Education So You Make Smart Decisions

A 5-module course that walks you through every business decision you need to make. LLC or sole proprietor? What to charge? Which systems actually matter? How to get clients without burning out? This is business education built for therapists, by a therapist.

$297 | Or 3 payments of $99 


PILLAR 3: Done-For-You Support

I set up your entire practice infrastructure. Website, forms, workflows, practice management, email sequences—everything configured and ready before your first client. For therapists who want professional setup without the DIY guesswork.

Starting at $2500 (custom based on your practice and set up needs | Be set up in as soon as 30-days


Why These Three Work Together

Templates alone = forms but no business knowledge
Course alone = knowledge but you're still creating from scratch
DFY alone = everything built but you don't understand why

All three together = complete foundation + understanding + support


Pick Your Path

  • Start with templates if you're a planner who likes to DIY

  • Take the course if you want deep business knowledge first

  • Apply for DFY if you want hands-off setup

Or combine them. There's no wrong path—only the one that works for you.

Tailored support and services to propel your business forward
