Amity Cooper is a seasoned entrepreneur, trained mental health professional, and entrepreneurial coach.For over 20 years, Amity has run a variety of businesses, from designing handbags to making and manufacturing gourmet chocolates, which has given her the knowledge and experience to help others start and run their own businesses. Now, as a trained therapist, equine-assisted psychotherapist, and Lifebook facilitator, she is focused on empowering other mental and behavioral health professionals to serve their clients without burning themselves out by becoming what she calls “therapreneurs.”She does this through her professional development company Clinical Career Collective (C3) and her Do This First 7-Day Bootcamp by not only teaching therapreneurs how to run their own businesses, but also how to embrace new, emerging technology in this post-pandemic world so they can better help the people they serve.Amity hosted the virtual event Virtually Unlimited… The Healing Entrepreneurship Summit (with Mike Michalowicz as the keynote speaker) where she and other professionals spoke about the advantages of adapting new technologies for a modern mental health practice.A lover of travel, Amity splits her time between Denver, Colorado and San Diego, California with her husband, two kids, two horses, and their English Shepherd, Beau.Keep Up with AmityWebsite FacebookLinkedInSign up for Do This First BootcampLaura Swanson, LCSW is a New York based therapist that began The Social Work Bubble in order to build community and a hub of helpful resources and support for social workers!
