Description
Newly trained and certified counselors and therapists are always excited about getting out into the work world to use their therapeutic skills and knowledge in helping others. Yet few of us are prepared with the business skills necessary to set up a thriving private counseling practice. Designed for new practitioners or counselors considering going solo, this course will give participants a practical business perspective and some useful tools to add to their professional roles, enhancing their opportunities to build a successful counseling practice.
Through a guided group discussion and exercise process, with input from the instructor and a panel of Santa Clara alumni practitioners, workshop participants will be exposed to such topics for learning and decision making as:
- Developing a vision of your practice – full time, part time; independent or with partners
- Setting up your office and administrative systems
- Managing Resources-- Money, and Time
- Legal and insurance considerations – to protect your practice and benefit your clients
- Marketing your practice for continuity and growth
- Managing your Mind and other Self Care concepts for a private practitioner
