Success Stories in Private Practice

If you LOVE stories be sure to read to the end to hear about our next free webinar!

You know how powerful stories are. Stories can make us believe things are possible, or they can convince us that we shouldn't even try! I decided to become a therapist for a whole host of reasons, but the initial goal was definitely working in private practice. But, the stories I heard in graduate school had completely turned me off to the idea of private practice in a little over a year!

Creating a Successful Private Practice in 2017: People NEED You!

Do you believe that your community needs you in private practice? I do. Start to look around as you go about your day and you will see lots of people who could benefit from the work that you do. Or, you could dig into some of the data out in the world! And while non-profits and agencies can meet some of the need, a lot of people would benefit from private practice services.

How do you find therapist conferences?

How do you find therapist conferences?

I never knew how many therapist conferences there were until I started actively looking for them. To be honest, I had always assumed there were just a few conferences for therapists a year. I mean... we are therapists! Yes, there would always be lots of random trainings- but an entire conference? 

Hundreds of Therapist Conferences

There are literally hundreds of therapist conferences every year! Conferences can be a fabulous way to get away and get some excellent training... or they can be a huge waste of time and energy. You can be stuck sitting in entry level trainings that never get to the meat. Or, like me you could watch someone cry on command as part of their sales pitch process to the attendees- ick!

Thank you to the 2015 Most Awesome Conference Sponsors

We absolutely loved every single moment of the Most Awesome Conference for Therapists. And it wasn't because everything went off without a hitch! For example, I was hobbling around with a GIANT swollen foot because I stepped on a bee while setting up the day before (note to self: put your shoes on!) 

However, the way that people made powerful change and shifts was like nothing I've ever seen at at a conference. It truly has been ah-mazing. We couldn't have done any of it without our sponsors. Watch the video to learn more about why participants said this was the absolutely best conference they have ever attended.
