About this title

Synopsis

When I started thinking about making the leap from working for someone else to owning my own mental health private practice several years ago, I was terrified. I was worried I would never make enough money, afraid to give up the “security” of a “stable” income, and anxious at the thought of having to find my own clients and convince them that I was the therapist for them. I needed a guide – a nuts and bolts “How To” manual to give me the step-by-step path from where I was to where I wanted to be. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find one. Don’t get me wrong, I found tons of information, and a few really great books that told me I could do, that they had faith in me, and to think positive. But I needed more. I wasn’t able to find everything I needed to get started in one convenient, handy-dandy location, so I struggled to pick it up along the way. I made plenty of mistakes, some fairly expensive, some pretty embarrassing. That’s why I wrote this book. To help you avoid all that and to have an easier time along your journey from where you are to where you want to be. Are you ready to leave your current position as employee-therapist and start your own practice? Have you been thinking about leaving the “safety” and “security” of corporate community mental health to strike out on your own, but can’t get past the fear, anxiety, and stress of making the move? Do you want to take the practice you currently have and increase your caseload through more effective marketing? Is it time to take a good honest look at our business practices and streamline them in order to give yourself more time and income? If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions, I wrote this book for you.
