| benefits of private practice therapy: Financial Success in Mental Health Practice Steven Walfish, 2009 For many independent mental health practitioners, having a profitable business and being an empathic clinician may seem mutually exclusive. In graduate training, little emphasis is placed on learning, refining, and mastering the business aspects of private or group practice. In fact, very few clinical doctoral programs provide any business or financial management training for future practitioners. In this volume, Steven Walfish and Jeffrey E. Barnett provide a comprehensive tool kit for practitioners to develop their business acumen and fully complement their extensive clinical training. The authors skillfully demonstrate that top-notch clinical expertise along with sound business practices is the winning combination for long-term success. Financial Success in Mental Health Practice shows readers how to market their practice, ensure its profitability, provide quality client service delivery, manage office overhead, implement effective accounting practices, handle commercial taxes and business expenses, navigate insurance claims and reimbursements, and plan for retirement. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this volume offers sample forms, letters, and fee schedules, as well as interviews with highly successful entrepreneurs and executive managers. This complete resource will equip the early career or seasoned clinician with the tools and strategies needed for a rewarding and fruitful career--Jaquette (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved). |

| benefits of private practice therapy: The Private Practice of Behavior Therapy Sheldon J. Kaplan, 2013-03-08 Entering a full-time private practice and forsaking the comforts of a regular paycheck was a difficult decision for me. Fortunately, I was able to begin my practice on a part-time basis in space rented from two physician friends. By using my behavior skills for self-management and organization, I was then able to help my practice grow so that, with some trepidation, I moved into a full-time practice. I have continued to maintain my practice according to the same ethical, professional, and business assumptions discussed in this book. One of the reasons for my writing this book is that, at the time I was beginning my practice, there was no one text that helped me begin or to explain what nuts and bolts issues I needed to consider. As my practice has grown, I continued to see a need for a resource text to help the beginning therapist get started. I decided to describe the assump tions, methods, and issues that I have used so as to present a discussion of timely issues relevant to the practice of behavior therapy. |

| benefits of private practice therapy: The Business Of Therapy: How To Run A Successful Private Practice Hodson, Pauline, 2012-09-01 Counsellors from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytical background will feel very at home with the contents. I found it a thoroughly enjoyable read;it actually made me laugh out loud on a couple of occasions. I found the anecdotes entertaining and well chosen; any therapist who has been in practice for a while will be able to identify with them. Therapy Today review, February 2013 This book is a marvel! Packed with truly vital information both for the newly qualified and for the experienced therapist in private practice. The frequent vignettes and discussions are a delight, bringing a range of complex and challenging technical issues to life. This book gives an engaging and practical insight into what is usually the very private world of private practice. Susanna Abse, CEO, The Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, London, UK The book takes seriously the needs of therapists throughout their professional life - the need for developing support systems and care of the therapist's well being, looking after their bodies as well as minds ... In the Foreword Susie Orbach describes the book as a gift to the profession and I agree. Oxford Psychotherapy Bulletin Although addressed primarily to psychotherapists and counsellors, practically every page of this book applies equally to the practice of complementary medicine - acupuncture, osteopathy and so on - and it is essential reading for these practitioners. For it teaches, in far more depth than their training ever does, just what it means to be a therapist; and the book's clarity and wisdom will enhance the work done in any treatment room. John Hamwee, Acupuncturist and author of Energy Medicine and Acupuncture for New Practitioners I have often wondered just what goes on in therapy between psychotherapists and their clients in the secrecy of the consulting room. This book gives me an intriguing, bird's eye view from inside the room of how and why the process works. Lisa Jayne Bloomer, Lisa Jayne Art Studio, UK A highly experienced and deeply wise practitioner of psychotherapy, Pauline Hodson serves as the most trustworthy of guides and mentors, providing mental health professionals with a cornucopia of illuminating advice about the crucial minutiae of our work. Written with admirable concision and with the page-turning delights of a fine novel, this book will be a joy for seasoned colleagues, and a life-saver for students and for those newly qualified. The Business of Therapy: How to Succeed in Private Practice leaves all other contenders in the dust! Professor Brett Kahr, Centre for Child Mental Health in London and Roehampton University, UK I wish this marvellous book had come my way earlier. It's an essential read for any therapeutic practitioner, but particularly for those in their first years in the profession or who are still in training. Pauline Hodson has applied her extensive experience and 'know how' to create this valuable tool kit that covers all the practicalities, and much more, of running a private practice or clinic. Written with great heart but also in a boundaried psychodynamic style, The Business of Therapy is practical, wise and down to earth without ever being prescriptive. It's a pleasure to recommend it. Carol Leader, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (BPC and UKCP) Creating a comfortable consulting room, grappling with the thorny question of money, finding clients, paperwork, legal issues, boundaries and confidentiality - Pauline Hodson analyses both the psychological and practical issues which need to be addressed when setting up a private practice. Once your practice is established it is important to be able to anticipate and think about situations that impinge on the therapy: illness, holidays, neighbours, pets and children, which if not paid attention to, can destroy the safe environment necessary for effective and sensitive work to take place. The Business of Therapy gives both detailed anecdotes and a jargon free overview of the theory and practice of the work of therapists. It is a much needed handbook for all those who work with clients in the privacy of a consulting room - and for all those who are curious about what therapy actually involves. This book is a valuable resource for psychotherapists and counsellors, for graduates setting up in private practice, for established practitioners and for those planning retirement. With a foreword by Susie Orbach. |

WHAT IF PRIVATE PRACTICE FOCUSED ON PREVENTION? People associate counselling with mental health issues, but can you imagine how much better it would be for them to invest in some therapy BEFORE it got to the point of doctors visits and time off? To get help when they first notice that they have a low mood or are struggling with an aspect of their life or relationship rather than wait till they reach rock bottom? This isn't a new concept, I think all counsellors and psychotherapists want this. So how can we make this happen? |

| benefits of private practice therapy: Financial Therapy Bradley T. Klontz, Sonya L. Britt, Kristy L. Archuleta, 2014-09-10 Money-related stress dates as far back as concepts of money itself. Formerly it may have waxed and waned in tune with the economy, but today more individuals are experiencing financial mental anguish and self-destructive behavior regardless of bull or bear markets, recessions or boom periods.

| benefits of private practice therapy: Creating an Effective Couples Therapy Practice Butch Losey, 2017-12-15 Most clinicians seek guidelines and indicators as to the effectiveness of their interventions with clients. Some may even be implementing evidence-based interventions and seek an in-depth understanding of their results. This book helps clinicians who provide couple’s or marriage therapy and counseling go from the ambiguous realm of thinking or knowing their effectiveness to being able to demonstrate it. It identifies effective strategies for common treatment concerns that connect to the successful outcomes of therapy. Here, the process starts even before the couple enters therapy and goes beyond the final session. Dr. Losey discusses specific outcome measures and how they can be used in session so that the couple can assess their relationship and develop specific goals and interventions for treatment. The author also examines session notes, pre-treatment change, and developing quality post-treatment goals in his discussion of clinical effectiveness. |
