Coaching for Therapists Launching a Private Practice
Private Practice Demystified
Are you considering opening a part time or full time private psychotherapy practice now or in the future?
I will give you an efficient overview of the business aspects of private practice to help inform your decision, assist you in visualizing your professional future, and set you up for success.
This is private practice DEMYSTIFIED!
Included are general information, tips, and Q & A, as well as concrete information about: financial aspects, office rental, health insurance/managed care, liability insurance, billing, paperwork, marketing materials, networking, website creation, business licenses, HIPPA, and referrals to local professionals if you desire ongoing specialized help with practice-building coaching and other related services.
Topics range from the most simple but necessary tasks, like where (and why) to register for a tax ID and NPI number, to more complex ones, such as getting started in managed care and navigating laws related to teletherapy. I also break down some basic financial realities of private practice to illustrate what type of income is possible, what is a typical caseload size, how many hours you can expect to work, and what your annual expense list might look like. Many clinicians have told me they've especially appreciated this straightforward financial "real-talk" that takes the mystery out of the financial piece.
As part of the consultation you will go home with my extensive list of websites and resources I have found to be most helpful for developing my private practice and running my own business efficiently with low overhead. This list alone will save you considerable time and money!
After the initial overview meeting, I'm available for ongoing consultation on an as-needed and pro-rated basis (in person, by email, or by video chat) if you find you want to delve further into any topics.
Interns and trainees: it is never too early to start preparing for a private practice! Even if you are unsure that you will ever want private practice, the steps I encourage you to take now will be very beneficial to your career.
Don't needlessly re-invent the wheel! Let me save you hours and hours of time and headache so you can focus on your most important tasks to bring you closer to hanging that shingle!
