Does the “business” of doing psychotherapy leave you feeling uneasy? Most therapists have limited experience, education and training to manage the business aspects of private practice. Yet, without some business acumen, your private practice may not be as successful, or as satisfying, as you want or need it to be. Come to this day long conference and let the experts guide you with practical information on how to start or expand your private practice.
