Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Renee Segal, Owner of Evolve Therapy, located in Plymouth, MN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Evolve Therapy's mission is to Restore love and respect in relationships. We help people in relationships (individuals, couples, family members) who have been negatively impacted by affairs, addictions, betrayal, communication issues, emotional needs not being met, attachment injuries, narcissism, and unhealthy behaviors. We help you uncover, understand, validate and recover from negative emotions and feelings, behaviors, beliefs, and actions, perceived and real.
Our core values are reflected in our therapy and how we care for you throughout the counseling experience:
- Respect for everyone involved in the process and for each other.
- Compassion is how we deliver our care.
- Excellence in standards of care, best-in-class training, and results.
Tell us about yourself
I was always interested in relationships. Watching my parents and their relationship inspired me. My dad was an intense, angry man, and my mom told him that he loved her although he was so angry and meant to her. When she eventually got sick with Alzheimer's, my dad was her caregiver and was kind and loving. She was right; he did love her so much. What motivates me each day is watching couples heal and get closer and have bonding moments in my office. I love watching the healing happen in my office.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is hiring great therapists; there are 13 of us at Evolve. Each one is special and brings amazing skills to what we do.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing is giving negative feedback when things aren't going well while still motivating them to keep working.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have great support from people around you; that can be people that you hire and pay.
- Don't be afraid to spend money to make money. (I see people trying to be cheap, and it shows).
- Keep learning and growing, and spend money on professional development.
