Kivela Business Consulting, based in Ventura County, CA, is dedicated to empowering local small businesses and licensed professionals.

With firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by therapy practices and service organizations, we provide the systems, strategies, and support needed to build strong foundations so leaders can focus on their true calling.
Our Story
Kivela Business Consulting was born from firsthand experience. As the spouse of an LMFT, I saw how often clinicians are asked to run businesses without any business training.
Passionate professionals are suddenly responsible for payroll, compliance, and strategy—tasks that pull them away from the care they love.
We bridge that gap by giving practices and small businesses the tools, systems, and strategies they need to thrive. From Microsoft 365 setup and bookkeeping to market analytics and business strategy, we build strong foundations so owners can focus on their passion and purpose.
