Building Your Ideal Private Practice: A Guide for Therapists and Other Healing Professionals

"As a new counselor, I was looking for something that could instruct me in setting up a private practice and this was it. I also bought the workbook that goes with it. This book takes you through all the steps, beginning with identifying what you want, mission and vision statements and how you want your business to look and function...from a counselor's perspective. There are other books out there that tell you how to set up businesses, but this is from one counselor to another and the perspective makes all the difference. I recommend this book highly to anyone who is just starting out in practice or is seeking to expand their practice."

"This book is an outstanding selection of principles and ideas for every health care practice owner, not only for a therapist.

Invest the time it takes you to read this book back into your daily practice. If you get through this book in fifteen hours, and if you use just three ideas out of hundreds, and if each one idea saves you just 1/100th of your daily working time and effort--that will be a savings of 60 hours per year, or a net annual profit on time invested of 300%.

Do you know of any other investment that nets you 300% annually?

"I've just recently started building an acupuncture practice in a new city and I wanted some fresh ideas on marketing. I'm doing well but I'd like to do better and I HATE marketing. This book should be in all acupuncture schools. I'd love it if they would do a marketing seminar with this woman. Many of these ideas are easy to implement. Some of them are a small turn of phrase from those things you learn from other marketing books, but suddenly they become much more appropriate to say to your patients.

I'm recommending this to everyone I know."

"I have had this book on my shelf for a number of years. I manage a practice with 15 therapists and am always looking for resources I can use in training recent grads to do the right things. This one just doesn't do it. Even for those with newly minted mental health degrees there is just not enough meat. OK for those who have never given a thought to how mental health practices succeed."
