About Us

At Alston Consulting, we know that the work you do as a therapist or wellness provider is deeply meaningful, but running the business side of your practice?

That part can feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’re here.

We provide Private Practice & Business Coaching for Therapists & Counselors who want clarity, confidence, and a little less chaos in their day-to-day operations.

Whether you’re just launching your private practice or refining what you’ve already built, our goal is to meet you where you’re at and make the journey easier.

Hi, I’m Darci,

founder of Alston Consulting and your go-to Therapist Business Coach. I’ve worked alongside clinicians, coaches, and wellness professionals for years and saw firsthand how often they were expected to figure out business systems on their own, with little support and even less time.

I created Alston Consulting to change that. My approach is grounded, friendly, and built around real-world solutions. I believe in keeping things simple, helping you cut through the noise, and making sure you actually gain empowerment, not just certification.

When you work with us, there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. We break things down in ways that make sense, provide practical resources you can actually use, and support you in building a practice that reflects your values and serves your clients well.

Whether you're looking for a full-time business partner or just some guidance as you grow, you’re in the right place.
