Creative Strategies in Developing an Ethical and Profitable Private Practice

Description: As most of us know, we didn’t learn business planning or marketing techniques in graduate school. The #1 question people asked me during workshops and in our Facebook group, My Private Practice Collective,  is “How do I get clients?”.   I’m here to tell you my strategies that have helped me double in income every year I’ve been doing private practice full-time. Nine years ago when I started my practice, I was the DIY Queen. Mondays were my slow day and I worked for hours on a website that did NOTHING for me! When I began to use Facebook and Google to market my practice, I did it all myself and I didn’t have a plan. I listened to some podcasts and I read blog posts but I knew I needed to create a solid and ethical business plan for myself because I had big dreams. By learning to build an ethical practice, I’ve been able to:

• Generate over $2,000,000 in yearly income for my group practice.
• Create an ethical practice that serves a diverse population.
• Find the happiness I knew was waiting for as a therapist.

Are you worried about creating a winning strategy to build and grow an ethical private practice? It’s time to change the course of your private practice By learning to start and grow your private practice, you will be able to… 

• Increase your revenue by increasing your pricing and the services you provide.
• Work with your ideal client and offer them high-quality therapy and counseling.
• Create a schedule that fits into your lifestyle, such as taking more vacations, not working on the weekends, or cutting down on your evening appointments.
• Follow ethics related to social media, marketing, and providing services to clients.
