Hi Reader,

There’s something powerful about September—the season when your practice hits its stride. With routines settling in and demand at its peak, it’s easy to focus only on keeping up. But pause for a moment: the full caseload you’re holding isn’t just busywork—it’s proof of the solid foundation you’ve built. Every session you hold is making a difference, for your clients and for your business. This month, give yourself credit for the momentum you’ve created. You’re not just filling your calendar—you’re building a practice that’s growing stronger with every step.

Exciting Updates In The BYPP Community

What a Day at the BYPP Summit

Yesterday, the BYPP Summit brought therapists together from across the country for a powerful day of learning, connection, and inspiration. The energy, the conversations, and the takeaways were truly incredible.

Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing highlights from the day soon so you can relive the experience and catch the key moments.

Last Chance: Win a $500 Grant to Grow Your Practice

Time is running out to take part in this exclusive opportunity from BYPP and Jane App. Together, we’re awarding $3,000 in Business Development Grants to therapists growing their private practices.

Here’s how it works:

• Six grants of $500 each will be awarded.
• Three winners will be chosen from therapists who signed up for Jane using the code BYPP1MO before July 1, 2025.
• Three more winners will be chosen from therapists who sign up between July 1 and September 30, 2025, using the same code.

Signing up with BYPP1MO not only enters you into the draw, it also gives you your first month on us with Jane App, a practical and powerful tool to streamline your practice.

To be eligible, you must sign up by September 30, 2025. The grants can be used toward whatever helps your practice grow, whether that’s systems, marketing, training, or technology.

Winners will be announced in the BYPP Facebook group after September 30. If you’ve been considering switching to Jane, this is your last chance to get started and be rewarded for taking action.
