I run a firm with counselors in it.
A team to move, data to bring across, hires who all need training.

The ceiling arrives sooner than you'd think.
Counselors who rush to offer services without a process stall — not because the phone stopped ringing, but because the next intake season arrives while they're still recovering from the last one.
This is a process problem, and a process is the one thing that can be handed to you.
Thousands of counselors got their start right here.
Starting your practice. Building a thriving one.
Active students carried at once, by year and by method.
The process that moves a practice from eleven students to seventeen is tangible, measurable and repeatable. It has been proven season after season, and it is the one below.
The questions you haven't asked out loud yet.
Everyone was new once. That's exactly why our rooms work the way they do — we remember what being new felt like, so we stick around for the next person walking in. That's the community. That's CounselMore.
Answered alone, these look like enormous questions. Put one in front of a room of people who have each wrestled with it from a different angle, and you get to the heart of what's actually holding you back — surrounded by people whose instinct is to push you forward.
A human at every step.

It starts before you feel ready, because you build the practice first and add students to it.
“Educational services” is too vague to sell and too vague to deliver. So the first work is honest work about your own skill set: what are you actually bringing to a family, and which part of this profession are you going to be excellent at?
Name that, and it becomes something tangible, measurable and repeatable. The software organizes it from there — so delivering it is tangible, measurable and repeatable too. That consistency is the whole reason one counselor can carry a full practice where another stalls at seven.
Repeatable is also how you get your next cohort. A counselor who can't scale usually doesn't have a process, and a counselor who can't find the next family often had one that changed shape with every student — so the first family got something different from the fifth. That gap has a name: service delivery equity. Families talk, and inconsistency is a reputation you build without meaning to. Consistency is a reputation too, and it's the one that fills next year's roster.
Finding your first families is part of the training, and the tools for it are free because they're included.
Other platforms let you store unlimited prospective students. We let you actually reach them — broadcast messages by email or text, timed to the admissions calendar and ready to run as drip campaigns.
Unlimited prospect records that you can contact, at no extra charge, on every plan. A stored contact you can't speak to isn't a lead — it's a filing cabinet.
When you're choosing the company you'll build your practice on, look at its DNA for small decisions like that one. Ten years in, you'll find them over and over — and they're the signal that you're in the right place, with the right people.
“Thanks so much — I was worried about asking that question, and you all made it so easy.”
“I've been away so long I wasn't sure you'd still be meeting. I decided to drop in today, and I'm so glad you're all still here.”
A listing in the counselor directory.
Families do search for someone like you, and members get a place to be found. You write your own listing — your focus, your students, the work you want more of — and a family who reads it can contact you directly from your own listing page.
It's one part of how a practice fills, alongside the acquisition tools already in your account. Set it up whenever you're ready — a mentor will look it over with you.
When a family finds us before they have found a counselor.
Sometimes a family reaches us through the blog or the directory before they have found a counselor. We do not counsel students ourselves, so when that happens a colleague on our team reads what the family has written and points them toward listed members whose work genuinely fits what they are asking for.
From there the conversation is theirs and yours, not ours — and it costs nothing, in either direction. It is simply the shortest version of the promise: we're here to help you counsel more.
Nobody builds a practice from scratch anymore.
Working at the elbow of counselors since 2016, we've met the providers who serve this profession well — and asked them to extend a discount to our members. A network built with our membership, added to every year.

There's a chair with your name on it.
Wednesday morning, nine o'clock Pacific. Three thousand counselors who were exactly where you are, and who will tell you anything you ask.

Not a better price. Not somewhere else to go. They finished.
Make of that what you like.
