Once you’ve done the work to identify what makes you and your customers unique (see here for the how-to), the lists below might help get your creative juices moving a bit more. These private practice names are organized by focus area — local, outcome, methodology, or other .
Pay attention to local, outcome-based, and methodology-based names. We notice over time that faster growing practices usually choose one of these. In our opinion, they’re simply more memorable. They’re also simpler to buy online ads for as you grow, if you choose to do that one day.

Be easy on yourself. When in doubt, move forward.
Your practice name is the foundation of your brand identity — it shapes first impressions, influences referrals, and eventually your web presence and SEO strategy.
As you choose, consider:
- Emotion: What feeling should your name evoke? Calm, hope, empowerment?
- Audience: Who are your ideal clients — individuals, couples, professionals?
- Outcome: What transformation do you help people achieve?
When in doubt, choose and move forward. If you change your focus, you can always update your name, even the one used in your formal registration docs, as you need. See our note on doing business as for more.
As you get started in your practice, you’ll improve all sorts of things, including your brand focus. When it doubt, move forward with your private practice name with confidence. That confidence will show in your marketing, which helps you and your clients!
