Specifically for newly licensed clinicians, counselors, psychologists, and social workers.

Learn techniques to hit the ground running with your private practice, including:

• Effective and ethical marketing tips that you were never taught in graduate school
• Examples of all the basic forms you will need, including intake, consent, fees, attendance policies, and more
• Tips on how to run your practice like a business instead of a hobby
• How to stay ethical and ensure quality care for your patients
• Fees: How to set them, how to collect them

This live seminar is intended for those clinicians that want to:

• Avoid the common missteps and headaches common to new practices
• Establish a fee-for-service practice, seeing clients within weeks of hanging out their shingle
• Break free from the bonds of having to work long hours for group practices or agencies
• Improve their life balance and enjoy more time for themselves
• Increase their ability to deliver services in a more ethical and effective manner
• Take control of their clinical work once and for all
• Be paid what they are worth

How to Build a Thriving Fee-for-Service Practice is designed specifically with beginning therapists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers in mind. Too few graduate programs adequately address the true "nuts and bolts" of setting up a practice. Where do you set up your practice? How do you decide on fees? How do you talk about money with clients? These questions and more are answered during this seminar. Dr. Smith presents the material in a pragmatic, down-to-earth manner, using numerous examples from his own successful practice, including examples of what not to do and what not to say!
