Hello, I’m Liane Wood, the Chief Empowering Officer (CEO) of Build Your Private Practice Inc. At my core, I'm an entrepreneur, a title that sparkles with the spirit of innovation and determination. But what truly sets my heart ablaze is my role as a registered psychotherapist with a thriving private practice in beautiful Belleville, Ontario.

My journey isn't just about entrepreneurship; it's a harmonious blend of mental health advocacy and business acumen. With a deep-seated passion for the intersection of mental health and business, I have dedicated my career to helping therapists and practice

owners conquer the challenges they face in their own private practices. It's a path that's both exhilarating and profoundly rewarding.

But why stop at just navigating these challenges? My mission, my true calling, is to foster a community of thriving mental health professionals. A place where these incredible individuals can channel their expertise into impactful client care while achieving the financial success they deserve.

That's the future I'm working towards every single day.

At Build Your Private Practice Inc., we don't just dream; we create, we inspire, and we transform.

And together, we navigate the exciting world of private practice, turning aspirations into tangible successes.

Welcome to a community where your dreams take flight, and your passion for mental health finds its true expression.

Hi, I'm Andrea! I love education, reverse engineering goals and long hikes in the woods. I currently live in Kitchener, Ontario with my engineer husband, two sons, and yellow lab (that thinks she is a human). I completed my Psychology and Education degrees here in Ontario, and have worked as both a teacher and a program coordinator in a Faculty of Education. In 2015 I taught myself metalsmithing and since then have founded eCommerce brands and self-published a children's book. I now love to use what I've learned in my diverse experiences to help other business owners optimize their operations, teams, strategies, and systems.

Offline, I can be found here in Southern Ontario hiking, swimming, and reading past my bedtime. I've traveled through Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia and cannot wait to travel one day with my children. Family is my North Star, and I strive to raise compassionate, empathetic humans who will help make the world more inclusive and kind.
