Doing Clinical Research in Private Practice
As a therapist in private practice or starting a counseling practice you are on the front lines with clients. That gives you a unique window into seeing what is, and is not working with clients, and noticing themes. You may at one point consider confirming some of these hypotheses through research.

Guest Podcast with Dr. Jeremy: Integrating Testing in Your Private Practice
I need you to meet Dr. Jeremy. Why? Because ever since I met him, I have realized how badly we need his kind of work in community. More and more psychologists are avoiding integrating testing in their practices because they don't know how to make it profitable, or if they do, they only know how to do it in a way that stresses them out. Even if you aren't a psychologist, this is a great conversation and if you have psychologists on your staff, then you want to give this a listen as well.

"I saw someone run couples retreats, I want to do that!"
Professional Development in Private Practice
I remember in my agency work and county work I had a requirement for professional development hours. This meant attending trainings mainly that were provided or sometimes if I was lucky, I could take some time away to go to an event. Remember those days? Asking the boss for time away so you can work on your professional development.
