Though the interview below was primarily aimed at students, there are still a few nuggets for those already practicing and looking at starting their own private practice, as well as some of my own story that you may not have heard yet. If you have any follow-up...
I’m finishing the year in warm sunny Adelaide, Australia … visiting my family down here. What a year this has been! Certainly my biggest year financially since I raised my rates from $120 to $150/session, and my schedule didn’t slow down. This was also a year of...
My experience at the Private Practice Section annual conference this year was quite different from last year, primarily because I was a presenter at this year’s conference. As opposed to attending a lot of sessions and consuming information from the speakers, I...
