Is This Right For Me?
If you offer psychotherapy & can own a private practice, these education sessions are for you!
These education sessions are specialized for solo practitioner's who hold the following licenses: LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs and LCADCs. These sessions are the most appropriate fit for those working in and owning (or can and want to own!) a solo private practice who provide outpatient psychotherapy office services virtually or in person.
Those providing services outside this scope will unlikely be a good fit. These can include those providing inpatient or intensive outpatient services, or working as a practitioner providing medication assistance such as a psychiatrist. These sessions are not suitable for clinic centers or businesses operating as a non-profit. Also, if you are a practitioner involved in a group practice or manage/own a group practice these may also not be as helpful as these are tailored to meet the needs of clinicians working and owning their practices independently.
