DEVELOPING A SUCCESSFUL
PRIVATE PRACTICE

Michael Klein

This practical, skills-based workshop will provide you with the tools you need to transform your academic learning into a successful private practice. Topics include: developing an individualized business plan; learning the different stages of setting up and maintaining a private practice, including the nuts-and-bolts of finance, marketing, advertising, and networking; and learning strategies to avoid many of the common "potholes" that clinicians fall into during their professional development.

The skills developed and honed in this workshop are designed to give you—the student or licensed clinician—the opportunity to do the work that you want to do, rather than the work that you have to do in order to make ends meet. Past participants have said this workshop helped them break through their avoidance of practice-development issues, and was immensely helpful in directing them toward the future that they wanted to create for themselves.
