Case Study: A New Beginning: From Business Owner to Mother

Added On: 2025-10-13

How one therapist found balance, health, and family through the sale of her business.

The owner of a respected mental health therapy and counseling practice had dedicated her career to helping others heal and thrive. Over the years, she built a trusted business—one that served her community, supported her team of providers, and helped countless patients find the care they needed.

She loved her work, her patients, and her staff. But somewhere along the way, the joy of ownership began to fade. The daily pressures of running a growing practice had started to take a toll. Even as a young woman, she noticed her health declining and realized that the stress of business ownership was affecting her well-being.

More than anything, she and her husband wanted to start a family, but so far, that dream had eluded them. She knew something needed to change.

Finding the Right Successor

That’s when she reached out to Patrick Bombardiere and the Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado team. Patrick took the time to understand both her business and her personal goals. It was clear that any buyer would need to honor the mission and culture she had built—continuing to provide essential mental health services to the community while taking care of the staff and patients she cared deeply about.

Through Transworld’s proven process, Patrick identified the perfect buyer—a clinician from out of state looking to establish a practice in Colorado. Together, they worked through a smooth transition, ensuring continuity for both the providers and the patients who relied on the business.

A Heartfelt Message

About two years after the sale closed, Patrick received a message from his former client. Attached was a photo of a beautiful baby boy.

She thanked Patrick for helping her sell her business—and for giving her the opportunity to step away, restore her health, and finally achieve her dream of becoming a mother.

Selling a business is often an emotional process for an owner—but in this case, it was emotional for the broker too.

With care, compassion, and professionalism, Patrick Bombardiere and the Transworld Colorado team helped one dedicated business owner close one chapter and begin the most meaningful one of all.
