You're ready to start spreading your wisdom and making an impact beyond your sessions, but building a speaking business as a mental health professional doesn't just happen overnight.
You’ve picked up tidbits along the way, but most advice out there wasn’t made with "you" in mind.
​
Building a speaking business as a mental health professional isn’t exactly like having a tea party.
​
Maybe you’ve heard things like...
-
“You just need to manifest the right audience!”(Well, does it come with a speaker fee. 😑)
-
“Just pitch yourself to 100 podcasts and see what sticks!” (Sure, after I finish my notes. 🙃)
-
“You need a big brand and tons of followers to get booked!” (Who am I Oprah? Beyoncé? 😵💫)
-
“All you need is confidence and a bold story.” (Spoiler alert: the real flex is in transformation. 🫠)
-
“If you really wanted it, you’d speak for free to get exposure.” (Exposure doesn’t pay my bills. 😤)
​If this sounds familiar and you're ready to breakthrough this noise...
Welcome to the Sessions to Stages™ Summit.
If we’re being honest, you’re ready to:

You didn’t become a mental health professional to burnout and be broke, so let's do something about it.
-
You're multi-gifted and fed up with trying to fit into the box someone else built.
-
You're done watching people with half your experience get booked and paid repeatedly.
-
​Don't mold yourself to the speaking world. Shape it to fit your unique identity and interests.
-
Let’s turn your lived and professional experiences into moments for more impact and income.
Turn your session expertise into a powerful speaking platform without burnout, confusion or fear.
25+ speakers, from mental health professionals to supportive professionals, will guide you over 3 days through proven strategies to speak with confidence.
It’s time to trade in the guesswork and gatekeeping for opportunities to build a speaking business that works with your priorities, not against your peace.

Meet the Host
Hey, I’m Dr. Dominique Pritchett, host of the Sessions to Stages™ Summit.​​
​
I've partnered with therapy clients, clinicians and community organizations who all have stories that inspire others to live on their terms and lead.
​
I teach mental health professionals how to turn their expertise into meaningful, paid speaking partnerships without burning out.
​
From the U.S., South Africa, Ireland, Scotland to Spain, I’m a global mental health speaker, consultant, trainer, podcaster and licensed therapist who built a thriving, profitable speaking business and solo private practice.​
​
Today, I'm not afraid to charge premium rates or negotiate contracts in a way that allows me to build long-term, meaningful partnerships.
​​​​​​​
But for years, I followed the "rules," stayed in the box and still got overlooked and underpaid.​​ Then realized, being a therapist taught me how to position myself and package my skills. So, I stopped shrinking and playing small.
I didn’t start from the bottom and neither should you. It's time to speak up!
Designed for Unapologetic Mental Health Speakers Ready to Spread their Wisdom from Sessions to Stages
Every piece of this experience was designed with mental health professionals in mind. This isn’t a summit stuffed with general advice for anyone that wants to book speaking opportunities.
​
From the speakers to the way we talk about money, messaging and mental capacity, this summit honors your profession and your power and will help you turn your professional experience into more impact and income.
​
No one is telling you to “pay to play.” No cookie-cutter formulas. Definitely no pressure to be someone you’re not just to land on a stage.
​
You don’t have to shrink, hustle, mask or over-perform to be seen.
