Private Practice Consultation
There are so many ways to be a therapist, and so many ways to operate a private practice. A private practice is an ongoing process of balancing many needs: your stability needs, value needs, client needs, system needs. Whether starting from the beginning or adjusting your practice to bring it new energy, you can get your practice to a place of supporting you, your values, and the folks you most want to support.
When I opened my private practice, I started from scratch. I thought I would be a therapist in community mental health clinics for eternity, and when I left to start my own practice, I had no idea what to do or where to start with the business end of things. I excitedly got to work, learning and studying, talking to colleagues in practice already, and always including my own styles and approaches as I went. Even when other people said that was absurd!
My result was a thriving practice with a full client schedule, and a full roster of associates in under 5 months.
The wave of business energy has continued, and my therapy and supervision practices have remained full and overflowing over the last decade.
I am so grateful and appreciative of the people, privileges and resources I have accessed to help my practice grow. I couldn't have done it without my community, even the folks who said I wouldn't succeed, because I appreciate their feedback and the motivation to keep carving my own path. And it turns out that I love it. I love private practice, I love running a business, and I love it when others get to build thriving practices of their own.
My aim and focus is to work individually to assist you with building and maintaining the practice YOU want to have. The clients you work with, the schedule you want to have, the policies and other practice outlets you want to maintain. We can work together to develop a plan to address one specific area, or multiple aspects of the world of private practice management. There are many ways to nurture a practice, and I believe that finding and using the right approach for you will allow you to maximize your experience with your practice.
We can address any and all aspects of private practice life: legal and ethical requirements, generating referrals, best practices, common areas where folks make different choices, differences between licensing boards that can create confusion about rules and expectations, adjusting to changes and challenges, and deconstructing traditional models to create access and best reflect you, your work, and your practice.
