Exploring Life & Business with Sara Makin, MSEd, LPC, NCC of Makin Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sara Makin. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Sara Makin founded Makin Wellness, the leading provider of specialized online therapy in Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Florida., in 2017. After a therapist saved her life 15 years ago, Sara’s been on a mission to give the gift of effective therapy back to the world.

Sara was inspired by her personal experiences with mental health challenges and her realization that traditional in-office therapy was not always accessible or effective. She saw an opportunity to provide affordable, high-quality therapy to individuals and businesses in the downtown Pittsburgh area. Since then, Makin Wellness has evolved into a specialized online therapy company that is covered by insurance, making it even more accessible to those who need it.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As the founder of Makin Wellness, Sara faced significant challenges in launching and building the business. She invested all of the company’s profits back into the company, worked long hours, and made personal sacrifices to ensure the success of the business. This included moving back in with her parents to save money, investing an initial $4,000, and having only $340 to her name after investing in start-up expenses. She sacrificed her 20s to build the company and spent most of her free time studying business, exercising, and networking to grow her team.

Despite the personal and financial risks involved and facing significant challenges along the way, such as cash flow, provider, and operational challenges, Sara’s passion and dedication to mental health drove her to build a company that is now making a positive impact on countless lives. She has remained steadfast in her commitment to improving mental health outcomes and has overcome numerous obstacles to achieve strategic goals.

Makin’s courage, perseverance, and resilience are a testament to her unwavering commitment to improving mental health outcomes and helping people live mentally healthier and happier lives.
