Call or Text: (661) 646-9745

Specialties

I work exclusively with mental health professionals.

Session revenue reconciled, practice expenses sorted, and a clear monthly picture of what your caseload actually earns. Bookkeeping from someone who spent more than 15 years in mental health care.

Psychologists

Profession

Testing engagements, report time, and mixed therapy, assessment, and consulting income tracked separately, so you can see which parts of the practice actually earn.

Bookkeeping for LCSWs in private practice. Modest fees and generous sliding scales make clean books matter more, and Aretha keeps the numbers clear so the practice stays sustainable.

Bookkeeping for drug and alcohol counselors and recovery-focused practices. Group work, individual sessions, and mixed payment arrangements kept straight by someone who already knows this world.

Bookkeeping for prescribing mental health practices, from a bookkeeper who spent more than 15 years as a licensed nurse. Aretha knows the world PMHNPs and psychiatrists work in firsthand, and she keeps the books for medication management practices at the volume and rhythm they actually have.

Group Practices

Practice Type

Bookkeeping for group mental health practices with associates and staff. Clinician pay recorded the way you agreed to it, payroll run on schedule, 1099s prepared, and profit visible per clinician.

Bookkeeping for online-first mental health practices. Platform and EHR subscriptions, processor fees, and payouts handled by a bookkeeper who works the same way you do, from anywhere in the country.

Bookkeeping for ABA and behavioral health practices, where staff-heavy teams and high session volume make the books genuinely demanding. Payroll run dependably, contractor payments tracked, and revenue reconciled so a growing practice keeps its footing.
