The Lifeologie Counseling franchise offers a business system for mental health therapy practices. Prospective owners should distinguish managing the business from providing or directing clinical care.
This review draws on wefixbrains, LLC’s April 30, 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), particularly Items 1, 11 and 15. It describes the disclosed franchise model rather than promising treatment outcomes or determining which ownership structure is permitted in a particular state.
The franchisor and practice model
Item 1 identifies wefixbrains, LLC as a Texas company formed in April 2015 that began offering Lifeologie Counseling franchises in August 2015. The franchise covers businesses offering psychotherapy and related mental health therapy services through appropriately licensed professionals.
The FDD describes two ownership arrangements. Under its direct ownership model, a franchisee may own the practice where applicable rules permit, with clinical services delivered by licensed professionals. Under its management services model, a franchisee provides administrative and management services to a separately owned and licensed counseling group.
For the latter arrangement, Item 1 requires a management agreement, franchisor review and assistance from an attorney familiar with the applicable law. The FDD places responsibility on the franchisee to determine the appropriate structure with qualified counsel. Owning the franchise does not itself authorize someone to provide therapy or control clinicians’ treatment decisions.
Training before opening
Item 11 describes approximately five days of required in-person initial training focused on business operations, team management and implementing the Lifeologie model. The office manager and clinical director must complete it satisfactorily. A designated key manager must also attend; an entity franchisee must include an appropriate principal among its trainees.
Tuition is included for the first three attendees, while travel, lodging, meals and employee salaries remain the franchisee’s responsibility. Additional attendees require available capacity and may incur a fee. The franchisee is responsible for training other employees.
Review who will fill each role before committing to an opening schedule. Business-system training is separate from the professional credentials required to provide clinical services.
Location and opening responsibilities
Item 11 provides for site-selection assistance as the franchisor considers reasonable and appropriate, along with site approval and buildout specifications. Obtaining an approved site remains the franchisee’s responsibility. The franchisor does not undertake construction, installation, permitting or compliance work for the premises.
The FDD estimates an opening period of three to six months, depending on factors such as the site, financing, training and clinician recruitment. It separately requires opening within nine months after both parties sign the agreement. An estimate is not a guaranteed launch date.
Day-to-day management
Item 15 requires the owner, or at least one principal of an entity owner, to personally supervise the business and devote full-time attention and effort to its management. It permits delegation to a trained key manager, though the franchisor does not recommend it. Manager training, replacement and staffing conditions still apply.
A qualifying clinical director must be in place before opening. Combining roles requires the franchisor’s authorization where specified. Under a management services arrangement, business administration and clinical decision-making must follow the disclosed division of responsibilities.
Compare this structure with other business models by examining your intended role. Recruiting staff, overseeing business operations and managing a location involve different responsibilities from practicing as a clinician.
Ongoing assistance and marketing
Item 11 provides for continuing consultation and advice as the franchisor considers necessary and appropriate, including management, marketing and operational matters. Additional training and conferences may be required and can involve fees and travel expenses.
The brand marketing fund supports the system generally. The FDD does not require the franchisor to spend a particular franchisee’s contributions in that franchisee’s territory. Marketing assistance should not be treated as a guarantee of client volume, financial returns or clinical results.
