Course Description:

We spend a great amount of time learning how to become excellent therapists and we develop our skills set to deliver high-quality services.However, we are not taught how to develop or manage a business. Welack the resources and know-how to step out and create a business. We begin to doubt ourselves and our abilities, often settling for the safest route of agency or government work. This presentation will provide practical tips on how to building a successful private practice and help you move past the mindset of fear and disorganization. 

Objectives:

1.      Participants will learn that a therapist can make a good living in private practice.
2.      Participants will learn how to structure their workdays.
3.      Participants will learn website basics that every therapist should know.
4.      Participants will learn how to stand out in a crowded market and how to be seen.
5.      Participants will learn how to utilize social media without wasting time.
 6. Review ethical standards for social media marketing and business building.

Goals:

1.      To learn how a therapist can thrive financially in private practice.
2.      To learn how to manage/maximize marketing, social media, and administrative tasks of your own business.
3. To grow business skills.
4.To grow confidence in the process of owning a business.
