Building a Place for Us: How to Create a Solo Private Practice to Serve Black Clients

As a BIPOC therapist, you learned a lot of things in graduate school, but how to set up your own private practice wasn't one of them. Most of us got through graduate school figuring out--on our own--how to adapt the things we learned to the populations we want to serve. It was exhausting! And now you want to start a private psychotherapy practice but you're afraid because none of what you learned seems to apply to being a entrepreneur. I've been there, and I get it!

Building a Place for Us gives you a step-by-step guide that will help you launch your private practice serving Black clients successfully! From reflective questions to help you focus your practice to tangible instructions for creating a practice, Building a Place for Us will provide you the confidence and knowledge to build a sustainable private practice in which you and your clients can thrive!
