Private Practice Success Stories in 2019: What is Working in Private Practice NOW?
10 years ago when Kelly and I started helping therapists grow private practices there was next to no information online. Everything was behind membership sites or required expensive coaching to access. In the last 10 years the resources for therapists in private practices have exploded!
In one sense we are SO happy about that! We LOVE that therapists can access so much great content anytime they need it. But now, what we are hearing from therapists is that they are getting TOO much information. They need to discern what information makes sense for them and their unique practices.
Private Practice Challenge Week 2: Fees
We are talking about money. We all want to make money, but we don’t always love talking about it. We want to focus on the clinical work and ignore the money, but the two are absolutely intertwined!
FEAR NOT - we’ve got a plan.
In this training we talked about how to break down how your vision leads to you determining your fee. You will walk away with a clear formula on how to determine your fee, how to talk about your fee with new clients and how to raise that fee with current clients. We will also talk about what to do if you take insurance or sliding scale clients.
Private Practice Challenge Week 4: Marketing
A lot of courses focus on marketing. It’s one of the first things we jump to when we think about our practices - how to get clients in the door. But you notice how we didn’t start with marketing? You notice how we wanted you to get clear on what services you provide and WHO you want to serve?
Private Practice Challenge Week 3: Niche
Now it’s time to dig a little deeper. This training is focussed on NICHE.
Why do we say dig deeper? It takes a lot of reflection and honesty to niche well. It takes bravery too!
Whether your are solo in practice or have a group practice with a ton of clinicians, niche plays a pivotal role in client outcomes and we can’t wait to show you how. Our next training is going to cover how to niche, how to keep your practice diverse and how niche is to the benefit of the client AND to YOU the clinician.

30 Years of Private Practice Success: Clinically I Feel Rejuvenated
Some of you have watched Gary, PhD a therapist in Los Angeles in our Private Practice Success Stories video. Today, I was working on sending out an email and stumbled upon this standalone video that Gary recorded just 6 weeks after bootcamp after his first round of bootcamp. He got me to tear up and he has a real conversation about what it means to take a look at your practice when you are established as a therapist.
Gaining the Confidence to Charge and Receive Your Full Fee
